Helpful information to consider when making travel arrangements and preparing for reimbursement of expenses:
MEALS:
You will receive a meal allowance for meals that are not provided. Eligibility for breakfast the
first day and dinner the last night of your trip are based on the time you leave and return to
your headquarters. The meal allowance is $6 for breakfast, $11 for lunch and $19 for dinner.
Receipts are not required. Indicate the meals to be reimbursed on the Travel Expense Report
(TER).
LODGING:
Submit an itemized receipt. You will be responsible for paying additional expenses incurred
during your stay, for example, movies, telephone, internet connections, safe, room service, etc.
When possible, please request an invoice separate from the cost of your room. The room
receipt must be turned in with your TER.
AIRFARE:
UF only reimburses for economy class and does not reimburse for Travel Insurance. Submit a
copy of your travel itinerary and paid receipt with your TER. You must have a receipt to be
reimbursed for baggage fees and airfare.
AVIS or ENTERPRISE CAR RENTAL:
If you need to rent vehicle from AVIS, and time allows, we can provide an ACTO form to present
at the AVIS counter. The use of an ACTO allows for the State of Florida contract rate to be used
for your rental. Alert your WEC contact of your need for the AVIS rental, we will express mail
the ACTO to you. Otherwise, make your rental arrangements directly. Submit a copy of your
paid receipt with your TER. A justification will be required if a vehicle other than a subcompact
or compact is rented. The University does not cover additional insurance costs purchased at the
time of the rental. If using a vendor other than AVIS or Enterprise, please explain why this
vendor was used.
MILEAGE:
Mileage is reimbursed at 44.5 cents/mile. Indicate your roundtrip miles on your TER.
FUEL:
Receipts for fuel costs must be included with your TER to be reimbursed for these costs. Fuel
cannot be reimbursed without a receipt.
NOTE: You may request mileage or fuel costs but not both.
INCIDENTAL EXPENSES:
It is recommended that you obtain receipts for any incidental expenses, such as tolls, parking,
taxi, etc. However, refer to the UF Traveler's Guide for a list of expenditures where receipts are
required. When in doubt, get a receipt.
