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:
- T-Card may not be utilized.
- 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.
- Traveler and/or travel processor should reach out to an Expense Reimbursement Coordinator ahead of travel to confirm maximum reimbursement.
