| | call-out charge | Explanation:
It's not exactly the same thing but I think it's worth mentioning because it's v. common here in the UK. The call-out charge is what you pay simply to get a workman to come to your house, even if they don't do anything when they get there. E.g. if a plumber comes to look at your washing machine but decides it can't be mended, you would pay the call-out charge but no further charge for work done as no repair was actually carried out. |

I knew there wouldn't be just one way of saying it. So, thanks Amorel and everybody else.
