Mileage Charges for Consultants

[davidjpowell]

I work as a Consultant for a number of firms. My contracts give me the ability to charge disbursements although I rarely do so.

Given the price of fuel now is the time that I feel that I should be charging mileage. Given that my clients are throwing ever more work at me, and my charges have not increased for sometime I think that this will be accepted.

But I would be pleased to hear what other consultants charge? I'm thinking around the 25p mark, but want to make sure that I am not way off?

Fortunately the climate is suiting my clients nicely and they are expanding quite quickly. The one time that conversation was brought up I was able to prove that I am very good value and they were content at that.

It's in their interest really as the last thing they want is for me to compromise on miles as it would affect the outcome.

But it's also why I am trying to gauge the right level rather than marching in at 45p and getting backs up...
