day rate= $ hourly rate x estimated hours in a day
i'd assume 10 hours in day, possibly more if they are specifically asking for your day rate. they are usually assuming that you are assuming 8 hours. hence, they'd rather just pay for 8 hours and then have you for 10–12, which is why they want a day rate and not an hourly.
also when listing freelance, i'd put in under "contracts" and be selective about what contracts you list. anything under 3 weeks i would cut out. good editing is big on a resume.

Thanks
They didn't ask for a day rate at the time, but next time I'm going on-site I'll use a day rate.

Re charging as soon as you step out of the door:
-- if it takes me 15 minutes to ride my bike to work, I won't charge.
-- if they are asking me to take a train from London to Paris at 5.00 AM, which requires me to be out of the door at 4.30 AM, I will charge. Those are precious sleeping hours that I can never get back!
