# 301-10.305 Reimbursement when using an unauthorized method of transportation.

Reimbursement is limited to the constructive cost of the authorized transportation method, which is the sum of travel and transportation expenses the employee would reasonably have incurred had they traveled by the method deemed most advantageous to the Government. The calculation involves assumptions and may include expenses such as: taxi and TNC fares, baggage fees, rental car costs, tolls, ferry fees, and parking charges.
