employee should drive their car and park at the airport;or if renting a car is lower than taking
taxis at the out-of-town location, then a car should be rented; or air reservations should be
booked in advance to obtain discounted fares. The following procedures apply whether the
expense is being paid through a reimbursement or a direct advance.
