Man books outcall. I made it clear that I charge extra £20 if the distance is over 45 minutes long. He has been on all the map apps, and sending me details about how it's only 40 minutes to get to him. I said that's fine, but if there is traffic, he will need to pay the extra. He has paid a deposit, but is telling me not to leave unless I can agree not to charge the £20. I give up.
I've had potential clients tell me locations are only a short distance, tell me "15 minutes from such a town", I know it's twice that. I figure it out myself and tell them the fee, if they don't like it I won't accept the booking. If theres serious congestion or road closure I may decide to not accept the booking, advance bookings I just set off early but dont charge any extra. If simply wouldn't leave for someone who is arguing.
How suggesting you take anything over the 40 minutes travel time off his booking, and again for the journey back?
