As a freelancer, you posted your resume/ AD in a city you are visiting for 2 weeks (and you mentioned that youre visiting) and a company contacts you that they are impressed with your web and graphic designs and would like to set up an meeting with you.
If you dont have any means of transportation, is it advisable to take a cab there or remind them that youre visiting and tell them about your lack of transportation.
If you plan to take a cab, how far is too far? 30mins drive = $60 plus. would you still spend that much?

In my opinion, if you want the job, be there,
even if all your previous clients have communicated with you over the web only

what do you think

correction: i meant "a meeting" i had originally written appointment and changed to meeting

if ur confident that ur work is good enough then y not give it a shot? in the end $60 might me a small sacrifice for ur rewards if ur successful. Best of luck

Keyshia,

If you don't live in that town, it is perfectly normal to take a cab to your client's. I have done that many times during the .com consultancy days

Depending on how much you intend charging the client, $60 to me sounds like a drop in the bucket. Besides, you can always pass along that cost to the customer, hidden of course

Finally, as for the $60 or whatever amount you intend spending on transportation et al, I will assume you are in the states (unless the $ you mean is that of another country. If this is so, ignore the following ), in which case you can always deduct that amount as a business expense.

I hope this helps.

i just belived that anything that is urs is urs, no 2 ways about it
