| UTD/CTD for MAP/CAP 50-24 (E), Expansion of Rental Vehicle Reimbursable Expenses | This item updates the Joint Travel Regulations Table 2-8 to add cleaning fees for rental vehicles as a reimbursable expense when the AO determines the fee is due to use of the vehicles in conjunction with the mission. Fees charged due to the traveler’s negligence or misuse of the vehicle are not reimbursable. The item also adds roadside assistance fees as an expense an AO may authorize or approve when a traveler has an emergency beyond their control with a rental vehicle such as a flat tire. Items covered by the U.S. Government Rental Car Agreement and prepaid roadside assistance fees, which are considered a type of insurance, are not reimbursable. This update is necessary due to roadside assistance and vehicle cleaning no longer being included at no cost under the U.S. Government Rental Car Agreement 5. There have been several instances identified by the DTMO Rental Car Team where travelers were unable to change a tire due to a broken arm or other physical limitations, no knowledge of how to change a tire, or the flat occurred in an unsafe location. There have been cases where cleaning fees were charged because the traveler parked the car in a sandy parking area near the ocean to participate in the exercise which caused significant amount of sand and gravel to be tracked into the vehicle.
