REF/A/DOC/DOD/APR2024//

AMPN/REF A IS DEFENSE TRAVEL MANAGEMENT OFFICE U.S. GOVERNMENT RENTAL CAR
AGREEMENT #5.//

GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  Pass to commanding officers, executive officers, senior
enlisted leaders, administrative officers, personnel officers, command
career counselors, and disbursing officers.  This message targets personnel,
administrative, disbursing, transaction service centers, and regional
support centers regarding current personnel, pay, and transportation issues
for both active and reserve personnel.

2.  The purpose of this message is to announce changes in reference (a).
Reference (a) replaced the Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO) U.S.
Government Rental Car Agreement #4, effective 1 April 2024.

3.  Key changes from reference (a) are:

    a.  Government Administrative Rate Supplement (GARS) is eliminated:
Travelers will no longer be charged the 5 dollars per day GARS.  When
picking up rental vehicles booked under the new agreement, travelers should
look for their Department or agency's name on the agreement to ensure their
reservation falls under the Agreement.

    b.  Inclusion of loss and liability coverage.

    c.  Inclusion of 10 to 15 Passenger vans when rented by drivers 25 years
of age and older, improving the availability of vans that include loss and
liability coverage.

    d.  Underage driver fees for renters ages 18 to 20.

    e.  Maximum rates (ceiling rates) will be established annually by DTMO,
not the rental car companies.

        (1) For the Continental United States (CONUS), there will be a
single maximum rate for each car class with exceptions for high-cost areas
determined by DTMO.

        (2) For Outside of the Continental United States (OCONUS), there
will be a single maximum rate per car class, by country.

    f.  Adding electric vehicle (EV) categories in CONUS.

4.  In accordance with reference (a), if a rental car reservation was booked
prior to 1 April 2024 the traveler incurs a reimbursable GARS fee.  Rental
companies are prohibited from charging GARS for reservations booked on or
after 1 April 2024.

5.  Sailors must obtain a rental vehicle through an electronic system, i.e.
Defense Travel Service (DTS) when it is available or, if not available,
through the Transportation Network Company.  Sailors should verify their
rental agreement when picking up their vehicle to ensure the reservation
falls under reference (a).  Failure to do so may result in limited
reimbursement.

6.  Questions regarding personnel, pay, and transportation transactions
should be sent to the MyNavy Career Center Human Resource Service Center at
1(833)330-6622 or askmncc(at)navy.mil.

7.  Point of contact regarding this pay and personnel information bulletin
is Mr. George Noneaker.  He can be reached by phone at 1(901)874-3190 or by
email at george.l.noneaker.civ(at)us.navy.mil.  Please note, this email is

8.  Request widest distribution possible.
