Much much to deliver pony?

I have very nearly sold Dpony and the buyer has asked if I know a local company who could deliver him. As we have a trailer and I'd like to see where he's going, I said I'd do it. But I don't know how much to charge. What do you reckon?
He's going 55 miles away (about 1 1/2 hours with the trailer).
Can anybody suggest a figure, and a rough breakdown of how you got there?
Cheers!

I recently hired a trailer to collect a horse and it cost me 35 quid for the afternoon, although obviously that didn't take into account the cost of any fuel, so you could work out what it would cost you in fuel, and maybe add 30 quid or so to that. I don't know if that sounds fair? Maybe about 50 quid in total? Admittedly though I have no idea how that would compare to a company doing it.

Google map the address and click on directions,at the bottom it will give you the cost of fuel.Add on a bit more as towing uses more though.

Fill your cars petrol tank right up. Drive there, fill up again near to your destination, making a note of the bill. Double this amount and you will have the cost of the round trip. It cost me £36.20 when my lovely friend collected Dds pony. It was 56 miles each way.
