Personal Car: If you use your personal car to get to the airport, you can be reimbursed according to the government mileage reimbursement rate if you submit mileage with your receipts. If you choose to use your personal car for travel when the time/distance make air travel unnecessary, you must contact CPAESS to confirm that your plans comply with UCAR policy. There are fairly strict guidelines pertaining to use of slower means of transportation.

Notes:

  1. If UCAR books your travel and you use one of the rental agencies listed above, you are automatically covered by UCAR insurance for all domestic car rentals. UCAR cannot reimburse any additional insurance you accept from the rental agency. If you would like a copy of UCAR's current insurance card, please let us know and we will send the information to you.
  2. If you are using a preferred agency rental car during personal time during your trip, charges will be prorated and the cost of any personal use will be deducted from your total reimbursement when your voucher is processed.
  3. UCAR can reimburse fuel expenses for rental cars. Please keep your receipts.
Rental Cars: UCAR has preferred rate agreements with Hertz, Avis, Budget, Enterprise and National car rentals. CPAESS will reserve these for you and they will be direct-billed. Direct billing is only available for domestic car rentals.
