Personal website should be most up to date ... As for 2 hrs rate just double hr rate and you can't go wrong. Many of us give a slight discount for multiple hours so my guess would be that a provider who is 350 an hour may be 650 for 2 hours.

ask.   I've never been chastised for asking.  If you don't, you create a grey area.  An area that creates bad feelings.  I like black and white.

I know you said you don't want to ask about rates during pre-screening, but, what choice do you have if there are inconsistencies? It's better than asking at the time of the date.  I think some have been brainwashed into thinking it is a taboo subject.

 I've never been hung up on for asking a simple question about rates.  Actually the only place I hear  "never negotiate/question rates" bull is right here on TER!  I do not dicker over fees, but I have certainly asked about prices and specials, especially if there is any confusion.  I have also been offered a lower rate on different occasions without prompting the discussion.  

So my advice and you certainly don't have to take it, is ask the question.  I'm sure you know how to do that in a manner that you won't be insulting anyone.  If the provider is insulted then move on unless you have no balls. But then you wouldn't be asking in the first place would you?

The provider is in control of her site and the rates posted on it.  TER is a nice guideline.  I also round up.  Consider it a tip or covering some lag in the online data and the current rate.  This is not Kmart.  No price check going on.

I had a date with a girl in Boston and she quoted me her BP rate when she called me back. When I told her I found her on P411 she laughed as her rate on there is higher. I have booked a few dates with girls that have different rates on different sites. I have found that the rate on many personal websites is the highest.

As a rule of thumb, I note which website I am booking from when I set up the date.  I then pay the rate listed on that site. I have never had a problem with this. If you are really unsure, take extra $$ and talk about it when you meet the girl. I did this recently and we covered the fee at the end of the session and the rate I had in mind was higher than what she charged. We both left happy.

Unlike some, I do consider it impolite and inappropriate (and unsafe) to start talking money with a provider I have never met, so if I find different numbers in TER, P411 and her web site, my approach is as follows.  

The number in her TER Profile is maybe a guideline, but nothing more. The woman can't change that rate at will. She can ask to have it changed, but that'll happen if and when it happens. Some women don't even look at TER so the number could be as old as her first review. If the low number is in her TER Profile I ignore it.  

As between P411, a recent ad in TER, and a personal website, I consider the lowest rate to be fair game. When contacting her, I mention the place where I saw the lowest rate. I don't mention the number, obviously, but I expect her to know what is in her postings and if she doesn't like that rate it is up to her to say so. The same would be true of Eros, or Date-check or other ad sites.  

One time I sent a P411 request which was accepted. The next day I noticed she had increased the P411 rate to the rate on her web site, but she didn't say anything to me about it. I brought the rate in place when I sent my request. I mentioned it at the end of our date so she would not think I was intentionally shorting her, or had brought the wrong amount by mistake. She didn't complain or seem surprised. If she had I would not have been sympathetic. The next time I saw her I brought the new rate.  

Caveats. If an ad has a date on it and is more than a couple weeks old, I don't rely on it. If a rate is stated to be a special offer for a limited time, I won't even mention it once the time has passed. And, I don't rely on typos. If she dropped a zero by mistake, or if the discrepancy is just unrealistically large, I point it out to her.

1)  You can approach the differing rate matter by communicating to her where you saw the rate in which you are interested but as others have pointed out TER rates can easily be out of date and ads for specials and the like should be ignored unless it is clear they are still valid.
2)  If it is not clear, sometimes you do have to ask.  Just do politely and discretely, something along the lines of "I'd be interested in getting together for x amount of time but am unsure of the rate."
