To ensure your reimbursement goes smoothly, take these steps during your trip:
- If you're driving, keep track of mileage. Use your odometer, mapping on a website or global positioning system (GPS).
- You may include small detours for personal comfort breaks (i.e., food, restrooms, stretching, etc.), but the OIC will not reimburse for long detours.
- If you have lodging costs, get an original receipt.
- If you pay for parking, ferries, tolls, etc., keep track of your costs. Submit receipts if you received them for these type of expenses.
