handle is hein.gao/gaobadloo0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECIUION . OP THE UNITED STATE 4' WASHINGTON. 0.C. 2054U FILE: B-213765 DATE: March 6, 1984 MATTER OF: Pat Young - Claim for Limousine Service from Airport DIQEST: Employee on temporary duty took a limousine from the airport to her hotel although a hotel courtesy limousine was available. Federal Travel Regulations para. 1-2.3c permits agencies to limit or restrict transportation claims where courtesy transportation is available. However, where the employee was unaware of the availability of the courtesy transportation, her claim for the limousine service she used may be paid. The issue in this decision is whether an employee on temporary duty may be reimbursed for the cost of limousine service from the airport to her place of lodgings where a hotel courtesy limousine was available. We hold that the employee may be reimbursed for the limousine service where it appears she was unaware of the availability of the hotel courtesy service. This decision is in response to a request from David J. Peffer, a certifying officer with ACTION, Region VI, concerning the travel claim of Ms. Pat Young, an ACTION employee assigned to the Kansas City, Missouri, Office. Ms. Young was directed to attend an ACTION regional meeting in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on September 13 and 14, 1983, and, upon arrival at the Oklahoma City Airport, she used a limousine service in order to travel to the conference site, the Lincoln Plaza Hotel. The cost of the limousine was $12, plus a $1 tip. The certifying officer denied Ms. Young's claim for the limousine service since free limousine service was available and provided by the hotel. Although this limousine service was not mentioned in the memorandum announcing the conference, the certifying officer states that the service was prominently featured on a limousine call kiosk in the center of the baggage area of the airport. 1 4?357
