Hi Mark, You should charge for the trip. What would be fair is your labor rate for the travel time--and your car expenses including depreciation. If there is more than one client--share the costs between them equally. Last time I checked the money the Church uses to pay me is the same legal tender as I pay for gas. I'd not discount for them in any way.
