Mileage Reimbursement Rate Increase
The State of Texas Comptroller announced that the State mileage reimbursement rate has been increased to 72.5 cents per mile, effective January 1, 2026 - December 31, 2026. The 2025 mileage rate was 70 cents per mile and will still be applicable to all mileage accruals prior to January 1, 2026.
Reminder: If mileage reimbursement for a single trip crosses December 2025 - January 2026, list as two separate lines on the expense report with the appropriate date on each so that the correct rate is processed in Emburse Enterprise. Monthly Mileage claims should be submitted for no more than one month per report.
Enterprise Car Rental Contract Extended - Commercial Trucks Now Included
The Statewide Procurement Division has awarded Enterprise and National an extended contract term through 8/1/2026, and updated rates apply. Employees should ensure that they are obtaining the contract rates for all business-related vehicle rentals.
We are excited to also announce that the contract terms now include rates and coverage for commercial truck rentals. Please note that all vehicle rentals larger than a full-size sedan require a business justification for reimbursement. If you are uncertain if a commercial truck is allowable and/or necessary for your business needs, please contact travel@ttuhsc.edu prior to the trip occurrence.

State-contracted rental car vendors provide a toll-free roadside assistance phone number 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Then number is on the contract documents given to drivers at the time of rental. Roadside assistance helps with problems including accidents, lost keys, flat tires and vehicle breakdowns. There is no additional charge for the assistance if the issue is due to no fault of the customer. Depending on the service requested, some services may be assessed fees (such as lock out, fuel, jump start, etc.). Roadside assistance is different from Enterprise Roadside Assistance Protection and Hertz Premium Roadside Services, which charge per-day fees up front, regardless of whether the customer uses the service. This additional coverage is not part of the contract and is not a reimbursable expense. See State Travel Management Program - Car Rental Information. General Contract Information - Additional Requirements by Vendor - Emergency Road Services for more information. March 7, 2024
