For about 18 month I managed a clients machine rooms across the UK - about 90 of them.
I was paid less than the HMRC rate and claimed back the difference via a SA as it soon mounted up.
Frankly for a couple of journeys you might consider it not worth the bother especially if they are paying you your hourly rate for the travel time?
Inter site travel is one of those things worth covering off in your future contracts.

OP, are you talking about the brolly reimbursing you as expenses from your billed fees, or the client reimbursing you extra to your day rate?

I am an office based contractor employed via an umbrella company and assumed 45p was a statutory minimum? These have been my only extra-curricular journeys so I'm obviously under the 10K limit.
Or is the rate payable subject to each companies own individual guidelines.
Thanks,
Rod.

HMRC will allow 45p per mile for the first 10,000 miles in a financial year and 25p per mile thereafter tax free. Anything more than this gets taxed.
Edit : Just spotted this was in General.

45p is just what HMRC allows you to claim.
If your company is paying you less than 45p, you can claim the difference directly as a Mileage Allowance Relief.
