May I use the rental car for personal use at the conclusion of the official state business and pay for the difference in expense?
No. A state employee may never drive a rented vehicle under the State Contract for personal use. If a rental car is needed for personal use, the employee must return the vehicle and obtain a new and separate car rental agreement. The State Contract does not cover any liability or loss that occurs while on personal business. This requirement applies even if extending the rental of the vehicle would not be an additional expense to the University. When the rental car is needed for an extended stay on personal business, the employee must return the rental vehicle, terminate the existing State rental agreement, and obtain a separate, personal rental agreement from the rental car agency.
