Travel Planning - 300% Actual

Lesson Learned:  Ensuring you have enough funds obligated to cover expenses incurred during travel is important.  Sometimes 125% Conference is not enough.  Here are some considerations that may require increasing the obligation to 300%:

• Is the hotel cost going to be covered under the 125%?
• Has the car rental final bill (daily rate plus additional fees) enough?
• Ground transportation on international travel, paid outside Sato and paid with FX currencies considered?

Communicating with the traveler prior to creating a travel plan, may just save you time and an amendment.  When the funds are expended, post-trip, any funds under the 300% but above the 125% will be released back into the overall budget.
