Car Rental
The University of Utah has contracts with Hertz, Enterprise Rent-A-Car and National to provide
the best deals and service for our employees. University employees should use these car rental
agencies when on University-related trips.
Please note: If the state contract number is not used through Hertz, Enterprise or National, a $3
per day insurance surcharge will be assessed to the traveler’s department.
The Travel department encourages booking with the Christopherson Business Travel who can
conveniently reserve a car using the state contract ID.

Personal Car Mileage
When appropriate, an employee can use their own vehicle to travel for University business. The employee will be reimbursed at the federal rate of .655 cents/mile. If choosing to instead be reimbursed for actual gasoline purchased, the employee must provide receipts and the total cannot exceed the cost of mileage reimbursement. For trips out of state where the employee would like to drive, they must first obtain a round trip airfare quote and reference the total as the maximum amount they can be reimbursed for mileage.
Travelers can use the personal vehicle mileage log provided to keep track of total mileage to be reimbursed.
