Billing meeting time and commute time

I have an odd request from a new client. He does not want me to bill meeting time. He also wants to keep some meetings at his office location which is an hour's drive from where I stay. He is not willing to compensate for my commute time as well as charge higher rates for onsite work. What do you do in those circumstances?

Also, I want to know how Indian freelancers handle these things. Do you bill meeting time and commute time and charge higher rates for onsite work? Thanks.
