Nagy File: B-237358 Date: February 12, 1990 DECISION This decision concerns the claim of an employee for reim- bursement of rental car costs incurred when his privately own vehicle broke down while driving from his temporary duty station to his official duty station.l/ During an extended period of temporary duty in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Mr. Frank S. Nagy chose to return to his home at the close of business on Friday, May 20, 1988, for the weekend rather than remain in Chattanooga. His privately owned vehicle broke down during the trip home. As a result, he secured a rental vehicle, completed his weekend travel, and returned to Chattanooga on Monday, May 23, 1988, to complete his temporary duty assignment. The question relates to reimbursement for various car rental expenses incurred by him for the period May 20-22, 1988. Under the provisions of paragraph 1-7.5c of the Federal Travel Regulations, and its successor provision, paragraph i-7.llb(4),2/ an employee in a travel status may voluntarily return to his official station or place of abode for nonworkdays and be reimbursed for the cost of the round-trip travel and per diem, regardless of mode of travel, not to exceed the cost of per diem and travel expenses that would have been incurred had the employee remained at the tempo- rary duty station.
