When using personal car for UofT business what is included in the kilometrage per diem?

Occasionally faculty/staff may use their personal car for short journeys related to University business, when it constitutes the most economical means of transportation and when no suitable public transportation is available.

NOTE:  Transportation between campuses, above and beyond their regular travel to work, and which is not part of the employment contract or arrangement, may be claimed for reimbursement. No reimbursement can be made for travel to and from an employee’s residence and normal place of business.

In these circumstances, claimants will be reimbursed a kilometrage per diem (see rate here) which covers all car expenses.

This includes:

  • maintenance
  • repairs
  • towing
  • fuel cost

Car repairs and other expenses listed above cannot be claimed separately since they are included in the per diem.

Additional charges for parking, bridge, and ferry while on University business are eligible expense.

NOTE: The person or organization visited, and the purpose of the trip, must be provided with the expense claim for a personally owned vehicle.
