2.  Service fees for car rental and hotel only transactions which are currently being billed to the University's central billing account will now be charged to the traveler's individual credit card. The credit card number will need to be provided at the time the reservation is made by Corporate Travel.  Credit card receipts are still required to be attached to the reimbursement travel voucher.  Please indicate this  service fee in the "Other Business Exp." column on the Individual Application for Official Travel.

3.   After-Hours Service fees:

      Each call made to the service-$15.00

      Each ticket changed and reissued-$25.00

      Each ticket issued (original ticketing)-$10.00

The After-Hours Service should only be used for emergencies or when CTP is closed.  All calls and inquiries during normal business hours should be directed to CTP's toll free number--866-366-1142 (7:30AM to 6:00PM Central Time) to avoid any unwanted service fees.

Any changes made to an airline ticket by the After-Hours Service that results in an increase in the airfare will be the responsibility of the traveler.  Reimbursement can be requested pending approval of the account manager.
