  MATTER OF; Rand E. Glass - Computation of Constructive
               Travel Costs - Rental Cars

  DICEST:
         Wlhen an employee uses a privately owned
         vehicle for official travel as a matter of
         personal preference in lieu of common
         carrier transportation, payment is limited
         to the total constructive cost of common
         carrier transportation including construc-
         tive per diem by that method of transpor-
         tation.   Pa.ragraph 1-4.3 of the Federal
         Travel Regulations, rPiR 101-7 (flay
         1973).   Despite the unavailability of
         common carrieL transportation for local
         travel, the constructive cost of a rental
         car for local travel-at the temporary duty
         location may not be included in the total
         constructive cost of common carrier
         transportation.

     C. H. Lanpman, an authorized certifying officer of
the Defense 'ogistics Agency, has requested an advance
decision from our Office as to whether the constructive
cost of a rental car for temporary duty (TI)Y) local travel
may be included in the computation of the total construc-
tive cost of common carrier transportation when an
employee uses a privately owned vehicle (POV) for official
travel as a matter of personal preferenc, miad common
carrier transportation for local travel is unavailable.
This request for an advance decision has been approved by
the Per Diem Travel and Transportation Allow:ance Committee
and assigned PDTATAC Control No. 81-36.

     lie conclude that, when an employee uses a POV for
official travel as a matter of persanal preference in lieu
of common carrier transportation, the constructive --ost of
a rental car foi local travel at the temporary duty
location may noc be included in the total constructive
cost of comi1oon carrier transportation.
