Hi
Hope this helps it is just my thoughts , but it does not appear you have an agreement with client , which I would think would be the best thing to do first.
If you are getting regular work once a month from them then I would, nt. I go into Glasgow all the time for clients which is about an 18 mile round trip. I really do not think that is very far to travel. The market is tough
You should cost the potential of travel into your hourly rate for your whole business.
I personally would not pay travel in the current climate, my attitude is you want the contract take it , there are plenty who won,t charge mileage including myself . If for example as a client you charged me mileage I would just Thankyou and get a bookkeeper that did not charge mileage.
On the otherhand you can go to the client and ask if you could agree this. Otherwise if you charge mileage on your invoice without agreement , you are in dander of annoying the client and they become irrated when you only have just started.
