GDAX also covers the transaction fee for withdraws to arbitrary wallets which are not sitting on the GDAX backend. It seems that this fee was the one the OP was asking about which would mean the question hasn't been answered.

But the answer stays the same, GDAX to Coinbase or GDAX to any other GDAX owned wallet.
