If you want to tip, just tip.
Ladies know the cost of doing business. It is cheaper for them to pay for parking than to pay for the room. If they have to travel a distance, then they usually include that in their rates, or require a longer date.
Is it proper to cover ancillary costs, such as valet parking when a hosting an outcall provider.
Ladies would you be offended, if a client offered money to cover this?
More than likely a silly question....however this seems like a safe place to ask silly questions?
gladly accept.
However, how do you know what her costs are? She may have come by public transport, cab, or a friend or agency driver. How would you determine these costs?
If you wnat to cover them, but not have the conversation, just include a tip and be done with it.
IMHO, any conversation about money is too much.

if the intent behind them is real. That's what this board is for: either newbies to the hobby or the site. You may get a little grief from time to time if the answers are easily found in the links at the top, but that's about it.
Usually, an Outcall provider who wants to have travel costs covered will put that onto their site delineated as a "Travel Fee" or something like it. Or, you'll start to notice that most providers that offer both incall and outcall have higher prices for the outcall. A lot of providers who travel to NYC (incall and outcall) will include even more in their prices because of the high ancillary costs.
If you feel the need to cover the costs, and you truly feel that she hasn't factored that into her price point, then you should tip without bringing up cost reimbursement. (A provider with a sense of humor may ask you for the $1.29 to cover the condom if you put it that way).
Keep in mind also that the evaluation is a little different for agency ladies as opposed to independents. An Independent sets her own price and gets all of it. An agency lady only keeps part of the fee, but usually has to cover costs unless the agency provides a driver. Incall or Outcall, I always tip agency providers.
Good luck

You have to understand that a provider is running a business. To that end, assume that the rate she is charging you (whether you see her at her place or she comes to your location) is more than adequate. The rate you pay her should be sufficient to cover all the ladies expenses plus allow the provider to make a desired profit. If the lady is loosing money on the session, than she needs to lower her costs or raise her rates. Her decision, not yours.
To that end, DO NOT EVER concern yourself with paying for ancillary costs such as valet parking, gas money, obtaining the local newspapers, or her time spent preparing for the session. If the provider wants to be reimbursed for these charges then she should simply quote you a higher rate from the start.
Remember, your accountant or attorney bill you an hourly rate. They often do work for you (i.e. extra research) that is not billed. However, they have covered these "ancillary costs" within their hourly rate. You would certainly not offer to pay your professionals more money than you are billed. You assume that the price they charge is sufficient for them to meet their economic demands, or they would simply charge more. Well, take the same logic with your provider; that the price you pay the lady is a fair and reasonable rate for the session. No more monies are due. Period.
as a provider that offers outcalls i kind of agree with this but to clarify i will explain my process. everything should be taken care of the before hand anyway tips are always accepted and appreciated but never demanded. it is in fact a business and a smart business woman would consider all the overhead costs of her business. which is why i stipulate that anything further than a 30minute drive will incur additional charges. but as a client you have to understand that if you forget to tell the provider that there will be vallet parking and she in fact mentions that her costs need to be adjusted you shouldn't get upset, but also on the providers side good customer service comes first and if she is in fact a top rated provider 5-15 bucks shouldn't kill them. but sometimes when they are first starting and they are not a seasoned provider exceptions and understanding should be made as a common courtesy.
No lady will ever be offended if you offer to cover her expenses. I've never had one ask but if I'm at a hotel where they have to pay for parking I always tip the cost of parking.
Do you give H & R Block extra money to cover the cost of the multiple copies of your tax return, the staples holding it together, etc.? I doubt it. Providers are running a business and they build the costs into their rate structure.
you have no obligation .It is a nice jester. and you either can or can not . all is good.

... if s/he had to see you at your place rather than their's? I didn't think so...
I know, I know there are two key differences. Doctors don't do incalls anymore and they don't make the $$/hr providers do.
