Choosing a Method of Transportation

In-State Trips

Driving is the default method of transportation for in-state trips.

  • Personally Owned Vehicle (POV)
    Mileage for use of Personal Vehicle (“POV”) is always allowed/reimbursable within the state of Arkansas.
  • Rental Vehicle
    Use of a rental vehicle requires a Trip Optimizer that supports rental as the most advantageous method of travel.  

Out of State Trips

Flying is the default method of transportation.

If a traveler wishes to drive instead of fly for an out of state trip, driving must be supported by a Driving v. Flying (DvF) worksheet.

Note that a DvF is not required for travelers flying out of state.

If a traveler wishes to fly to their destination, then get a rental vehicle, refer to the Out of State Rental procedures.

Choosing a Less Than Advantageous Method of Travel

If a traveler wishes to use a method of transportation that is NOT supported as most advantageous, they are free to do so, but the following restrictions apply:

  1. T-Card may not be utilized.
  2. Traveler will not qualify for full reimbursement. The traveler’s reimbursement will be limited to the amount estimated for the most advantageous method of travel.
  3. Traveler and/or travel processor should reach out to an Expense Reimbursement Coordinator ahead of travel to confirm maximum reimbursement.
