Parking during business travel

Parking expenses may be reimbursed as part of your travel expenses when parking is a necessary part of transportation during business travel.

You may be reimbursed for parking expenses when:

  • The parking is related to an approved business trip

  • The expense is reasonable and necessary for the purpose of the trip

  • Supporting documentation can be provided

This applies whether you use your own car, a rental car or carpooling.

Documentation

To qualify for reimbursement, the documentation must show:

  • The amount

  • The date and time/period

  • Where the vehicle was parked (e.g. area, location or parking provider)

A credit card receipt can only be used if this information is clearly stated. In other cases, you must attach a parking ticket or a receipt issued by the parking provider.

Expense reporting

Parking expenses must be reported as an out-of-pocket expense via your expense report in DTU Fusion and submitted no later than 30 days after returning from the trip.

 

Please note

Parking fines, speeding fines and similar charges are considered personal expenses and will not be reimbursed by DTU, including when incurred during working hours or in connection with business travel.
