[nabs-l] Paying a Driver

[Suzanne Germano]

I believe the $.55 is what you get for driving your own car for business
use. My fiance travels a lot for work and gets reimbursed at that rate for
driving to the airport or driving to client sites that are local.

If you are paying someone to drive you, the rate would really depend. Are
they dropping you off and driving back home? If so you need to cover both
directions for their time. You need to cover their time if they are waiting
for you also.
