I typically charge half my normal hourly rate for driving time. If 
planes are involved, I simply quote a day rate that covers the travel 
time without itemizing it, and of course they pick up the plane fare 
itself.

But I find most clients are happy to have the consulting over the 
phone, and I'm happy to deliver it that way.
