taken out of

I would like to ask you if you would have said
taken out of the 2 hours-
You have booked me for 2 hours. I have to let you know that the drive to the place, however long it takes is taken out of the 2 hours. If it takes us one hour, your session will only last one hour.

Thanks

That is natural and clear, but I wonder whether you take out both the drive there and the drive home, in which case you should change the wording to "the drive to and from the place". You're missing a comma, and you should not mix numerals and words for numbers unless there is a good reason to: "You have booked me for two hours. I have to let you know that the drive to the place, however long it takes, is taken out of the two hours.
