         Decision



         Matter of:     Jimmy L, Minton

         File:          B-248550
         Date:          June 12, 1992

         DIGEST

         Employee on temporary duty, who combines personal travel
         with official travel, may not be reimbursed hor the cost of
         car rental for a period in which no official business is
         performed.  However, employee may be reimbursed for his
         actual expenses for those days when the car was used for
         official business, not to exceed the constructive cost of
         the car rental, Since the employee would not have been on
         official business for the enttre month, his constructive
         cost should be computed on the basis of the weekly or daily
         rate, whichever rate was available, The Claims Group
         settlement, which based the calculation of constructive cost
         on a pro rata monthly rate, is overruled as to this point,

         DECISION

         Mr. Jimmy L. Minton, a civilian employee of the United
         States Marine Corps, appeals our Claims Group settlement.'
         The settlement determined that Mr. Minton could be allowed
         reimbursement for certain travel expenses he incurred while
         on temporary duty travel in Aurora, Colorado, Mr. Minton
         questions the constructive cost method suggested by our
         Claims Group in calculating his rental car reimbursement.

         Mr. Minton traveled by plane to his temporary duty site in
         Aurora, Colorado, from his home in Yuma, Arizona, on
         December 2, 1990. Since he had been authorized a rental car
         for official business, he rented a car upon arrival in
         Aurora. He utilized the rental car for official business
         until December 15, 1990, when he departed Aurora by rental
         car and returned to his resi'dence in Yuma. After a period
         of annual leave, Mr. Minton again returned to Aurora by
         rental car on December 27, 1990. He again utilized the car
         for official business until January 3, 1991, when he
         departed for his residence in Yuma by rental car, arriving
         there on January 6.
