Transportation other than by the traveler's privately owned vehicle should be claimed on an actual expense basis. [Guide, Vol. 7, § 230.63.40(a)]

Counsel should be guided by the Judiciary Staff Travel Regulations regarding rental car expenses. Applicable portions of those regulations are described below:

• Reimbursement for rental car costs is permitted when the authorizing official determines that the use of a rental car is more advantageous to the judiciary than the use of a taxi, airport limousine, or other mode of transportation.
• Refer to the Judiciary Staff Travel Regulations, Guide, Vol. 19, § 440.40.30 for further detail.
  Travelers should exercise prudence in the selection of the least expensive rental vehicle necessary to adequately perform the official travel.
