Competition win with travel expenses included question

So I recently won a comp and they said travel expenses were included . They emailed and said they would pay for my train faire however if I choose to go by car they would offer me £200 towards my travel expenses..
So how does this work. Do they normally send me a cheque before my holiday to pay for travel or do i claim the money back with proof of petrol or train ticket costs.
Can anymore shine a light in how travel expenses in completion wins are payed out??

I'm not sure who you've won with, but my VisitScotland competition wins involved me sending in receipts after I had been.
I was reimbursed within a couple of weeks.
Have a fantastic time and well done

When I won with Womans Own they sent me a cheque before hand for £100 to cover my travel. I guess it depends who the company is. Well done on your win and have a fab time :j:j0

Well done on your win, I have had three expenses and each one was sent before the event.
They were - Carte Noire London trip paid into our bank
- Times French trip cheque sent beforehand
- Channel 4 Ascot in June already had the cheque.
Good luck hope you get paid beforehand.0 -
Mine included train travel and they asked what times we would like to travel and bought the tickets and sent them.0
