Travel Charges - 2007

Occasionally I am asked why we make travel charges. It is a very fair question and it is a charge we hate to make but when you look at it from our point of view, it is I am afraid a very necessary evil.

Because I cover the whole country on my photographic tours, I annually drive approximately 35 to 40,000 miles for my client’s at a cost to me of approximately 72p per mile, to say nothing of the 975 unproductive hours I sit behind the wheel of my car and on top of that I also stay approximately 50 nights a year, in hotels.

The expense of all this travel and accommodation is enormous and sadly we have to offset some of it. We do not charge for accommodation or hours spent behind the wheel. We do however charge per mile travelled at 68 pence which is, where possible shared by 3 families, which works out at 22p per mile per family photographed and that is £22.00 per 100 miles travelled which we feel is more than fair.

If you would like to be given a quote for travel before the sitting is booked, please give us a call on 01488 685256 and we will be pleased to do so. If you would rather send a car for me I would be delighted!

Please remember that you can help us to keep travel charges as low as possible by seeing if there is anyone else in the area who would like a sitting on the same say. See special offers.
