Drive vs. Fly

  • The allowable mileage reimbursement is a maximum of $550 when the traveler chooses to drive their personal vehicle to a business travel destination where a flight would typically be required. Generally, it is cheaper to fly than drive if traveling more than 1,000 miles.
  • If multiple people are riding in one vehicle, and it is determined to be less expensive than flights for those travelers, full mileage will be reimbursed.
  • An employee who chooses to drive rather than fly long distances may be reimbursed a fixed meal allowance for a total of two full driving days: one day before and one day after the official business.
  • Expenses subject to documentation.
