Employees who travel on University business using 色虎视频 vehicles, personal vehicles, or rental vehicles must adhere to regulations adopted by the University relative to risk management under this Section.

色虎视频 Vehicles

Vehicles owned by 色虎视频 fall under the category of “state vehicles” and as such are governed by state statute (RSMo. 301.260). State vehicles may be used only for official business, never for personal use. They may only be operated by a University employee who possesses a valid driver’s license. Unless otherwise provided by law, no non-University individual, i.e., volunteer or employee family member, may operate a University vehicle nor be a passenger in such, unless on official University business.

Liability involving another person (personal or property damage) due to employee negligence while operating a State vehicle is covered by the State, provided the employee was operating the vehicle on official University business within the scope of her/his employment and had obtained all necessary approval through normal channels within the University. (See Section 5.03.1 Travel Policies.)

Personal property within a State vehicle is not insured for loss or damage.

Personal Vehicles

The established mileage reimbursement rate represents full compensation for the costs of owning and operating a vehicle while pursuant to University business. Therefore, the employee who elects to use her/his personal vehicle to travel on University business assumes total responsibility to adequately insure, safely operate, properly maintain, and protect the vehicle. Physical damage to or loss of a personal vehicle when used in the course of University business is therefore not covered. Liability involving others, including passengers, is not covered.

Rental Vehicles

Use of rental vehicles while engaged in University business is allowed providing all policies regarding such are followed. (See Section 5.03.1: Travel Policies.)

Rental Vehicles Paid for by 色虎视频

Rental vehicle expenses paid directly to a rental agency by the University are considered state vehicles and should be operated in accordance with the State Vehicle Policy (SP-4). Personal use of rental vehicles is prohibited. Family members are not authorized passengers in rental vehicles unless they are required to conduct official business.

The Statewide contracts for rental companies can be found on the State of Missouri OA Purchasing website. The contracts are considered a preferred-use contract which means all state agencies should use the contracts when renting vehicles for official business. There will be rare situations where an agency may not be able to rent off either contract.

Liability and Collision coverage is included in the rates therefore, additional coverage is not needed. In the event of damage to a rental vehicle, contact the branch where the vehicle was rented.

If it is a serious accident or there is substantial damage to another vehicle or property, please contact the University Director of Purchasing and Acquisitions and LUPD to provide details of the accident and report only if instructed to do so.

Rental Vehicles Paid for by the Employee

If an employee personally rents a vehicle for University business travel, the employee must purchase liability and collision coverage through their personal auto insurance or directly from the rental company. In the event of an accident, the employee's coverage or insurance purchased from the rental agency would provide primary coverage.
