Personal Vehicle Usage
An employee may use their personal car for business travel purposes, and the university will reimburse employees at the prevailing rate per mile. The mileage reimbursement on a privately-owned vehicle compensates the traveler for wear and tear, fuel and insurance coverage. No coverage is provided by Purdue for physical damage to private vehicles used on university business.
The university reimburses mileage at either the federal or state rate, depending on funding source. If a funding source (e.g. grant) requires the Indiana state mileage allowance, reference the Indiana Department of Administration website to view the latest memo related to mileage reimbursement.
