Forum Fuel and economy Travelling charges for time.

I'm a self employed tradesman and charge 70c / km for vehicle running costs when travelling to jobs. Should I be charging my hourly rate for time spent travelling to and from the clients site?
Thanks.

70c / K may be a bit lean.
The current standard IRD rate is 76c per km,
this is a suggested rate and its entirely up to you if you wish to charge for travel time.
