# Are Transportation Fees Included?

## Learn how transportation costs are handled with your private chef booking.

At Take a Chef, we work with local chefs, so there are no additional transportation fees. To ensure you receive the best service, enter the correct location when submitting your request. If you’re unsure of the exact address, simply enter the city—you can confirm the specific address later with the chef via chat.

In rare cases, transportation fees may apply if the location changes at the last minute and you agree with the chef to cover any additional costs. If this happens after your booking is confirmed, your chef will send you a money request. This is a secure payment link sent directly from your booking, showing the fee and the reason for it.

To pay your money request:

1. Open the payment link we send you by email. You’ll also find it in the chat with your chef: log in to your Take a Chef account, go to My Shopping, click on your booking and open the chat.
2. Check the amount and the reason your chef added.
3. Complete the payment within 48 hours, before the link expires.
