About How to Settle Transportation Expenses for Pick-Up/Drop-Off
If transportation costs are incurred for pick-up/drop-off to and from nursery/kindergarten or lessons, both the child’s fare and the supporter’s transportation costs are to be borne by the guardian.
Please choose one of the following methods. Settle the expenses after discussing with the supporter in advance.
<When settling by credit card as part of the support fee>
Include both the child’s and the supporter’s transportation costs, and enter the actual amounts either at the time of the estimate or when submitting the support completion report, so that they can be billed.
<When settling only the child’s portion via IC card, etc.>
Have the child carry a transportation IC card (e.g., Suica or PASMO) and settle the child’s fare with the IC card. The supporter’s transportation cost for pick-up/drop-off—including round-trip fare from the supporter’s home (or departure point) to the guardian’s residence—should be entered at the time of the estimate or the support completion report and billed as the support transportation cost.
<When settling both the child’s and the supporter’s transportation costs in cash on the day>
Receive the receipts from the supporter and settle in cash at the end of the support in exchange for the receipts.
Request
When taxis are used, transportation costs can be high. To reduce the supporter’s burden, please settle in cash on the day whenever possible rather than after-the-fact settlement.
Why not talk to a babysitter about your concerns?
