Reserve Forces Travel Fairness Act

Rental car reimbursement for reservists

If enacted, members of the uniformed services who travel more than 150 miles for reserve-component inactive-duty training or Ready Reserve muster duty would be able to get reimbursed for motor vehicle rental costs when those costs are part of their actual and necessary travel expenses. The allowance would cover rental costs during the full training or duty period and for one travel day before or after that period. The Defense Secretary would have to update the Joint Travel Regulations within 180 days after enactment to implement this change.
