Rental Vehicle Information

Basic Overview

University Employees traveling on university related business may be reimbursed the business miles only, see Policy F-1 Reimbursement for Travel and Other Expenses.

If the traveler prefers renting a vehicle and being reimbursed the business miles, the following information is being provided. Keep in mind that UHV does not reimburse the rental car expense.

  • UHV Employees traveling on university business qualify for State of Texas rental contract rates.
  • Overnight or Longer Travel – A Travel Request that substantiates the business purpose is required in advance for overnight or longer travel to insure supervisor/unit head approval and to satisfy requirements for university coverage for death and dismemberment, liability and worker's compensation coverage. (UHS Policy 01.C.13)
  • Day Travel - A formal Travel Request is not required for day travel providing the supervisor or unit head is aware of the travel. Day Travel may include intercity mileage or mileage to another city, as long as one returns the same day. The traveler and supervisor/unit head must both sign the voucher or backup.
