Having travelled extensively for the last 15 years I have never had a per diem rate (or if I did I never knew about it).
Now that I run my own firm I still use the same approach. This is because a day rate for Hotel in New York in July is a fortune for a hotel room in Ballarat for the same day.
We find it simpler to pay expenses than keep extensive rates list updated for cities and seasons
