If you are doing an event out of your area how much do you charge? I have seen guys mention $1 per mile, what do you charge?

Oh Shane! Don't start that in here if you value yer life. They have just activated the lynching mob down the hall!
One hour is included for free. This includes both to and from a venue.
After the first hour, it is $25 per consecutive hours. This is both drive time and mileage.
For example if it take 1 1/2 hours to the place...and 1 1/2 hours back. That is three hours. However your first hour was free, so you would be billed for two hours.
If drive time was 1 hour and 5 minutes to a venue, and 1 hour and 5 minutes back..it would be 2 hours drive time. One hour free, one hour billable.
Me and this other dj in our are are sticking to them prices.

Anything with 100 miles is free.
Outside of that, I probably need to spend the night - both before and after.
I charge standard per diem rates or the real cost of the room plus a small percentage for incidentals (parking, etc). I include this into the 'rate' quoted for the event though.

Section 9 of our contract states:
"A fuel surcharge of $1.00 per mile will be applied and payable at the event should the cost of gasoline exceed $4.00 per gallon. The milage distance to be calculated using Google Maps, round trip from the HOST's address to the facility address and return. The first 50 miles of the round trip total are exempt from the fuel surcharge."

+1 for this practice. Beyond 50 often involves more time on the road ~ we'll typically start on the road even earlier, just in case something happens.
I service 2 counties Allegheny and Westmoreland. Anything outside my service area under 80 miles is a $50 travel charge. Anything further requires a travel fee plus an over night fee. Weddings end at 11pm or later. I don't drive after a 12+ hour day.

A radius of aprox 30 miles from my house is free. After that, I add a fee. The fee depends on how far and how long it takes to get there.
I will go anywhere and DJ for up to 6 hrs for $199.:sqerr::sqerr:
IT WAS JUST A JOKE
up to 50 miles, no extra charge
up to 150 miles add $125.
anything over is $1 per mile and hotel fees as needed.

So you're telling me that I sign a contract today for a set amount, that price could change 3 months from now and you'd ask for more money at the event?
Wow!!!
Must answer in robot style:
Travel time and vehicle expenses calculated and/or estimated and included in the proposed total fee.
Fees for other travel expenses, lodging, meals, or other necessary expenses determined on contract by contract basis.

This is a good thread, folks! Thanks for the input! The J Mac and I were looking at revising our travel fees (okay, really to set some in stone) and we appreciate the input.
