Transport fare is not charged separately from your standard hourly price. If you would like to charge a transport claim, simply include it in your hourly price so that clients pay for it at once.
Normally, this should only apply if you will be travelling to the client's location to deliver lessons.
What should I charge as transport fare?
Ideally, this is entirely up to you, but we advice that you charge moderately because whatever transport fare you include in your hourly price will be charged to the client on a per hour basis, so it will build up.
For example, if you determine your hourly price as ₦2,000/hr and add a transport claim of ₦250, it means clients will see ₦2,250/hr as your price. So if a client hires you for 2 hours, your transport claim amounts to ₦500.
On the other hand, charging a high transport claim will further increase your price and may lead to fewer clients and lesser incomes.
Additionally, tutors set a Travel Policy which indicates how far from their location they’re willing to travel in order to deliver lessons, or if they’d prefer clients come to them.
Please note that tutors are not allowed to request transport claims or any form of direct payments from clients. Doing so is against our policies and will lead to a permanent removal from Tuteria.
