I assume, then, that you're independent or work for a small company in which you have to support yourself in terms of travel, documents, etc (ie, no administrative assistant).
In my opinion, it is not inappropriate to ask the client or prospect ahead of time for advice with regard to transportation if you will be in an unfamiliar city. Often, the contact will direct his/her assistant to provide transportation options. Just another option for you in planning for your next trip.
