  • For lodging, get an itemized receipt of the hotel stay.
  • Per diem does not cover personal expenses or entertainment such as in-room charges.
  • Lodging on Federal per diem rates do not include taxes and can be reimbursed separately

TRACKING MILEAGE IN 2025

Here are the current 2025 government mileage rates:

  • "70 cents per mile driven for business use, up 3 cents from 2024.
  • 21 cents per mile driven for medical or moving purposes for qualified active-duty members of the Armed Forces, remaining unchanged from 2024.
  • 14 cents per mile driven in service of charitable organizations; the rate is set by statute and remains unchanged from 2024." (Source)

The standard mileage rate for business use is based on an annual study of the fixed and variable costs of operating an automobile. The rate for medical and moving purposes is based on the variable costs. These rates apply to fully-electric and hybrid automobiles, as well as gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles.

Effective October 1, 2024, significant updates to the OCONUS/Foreign Per Diem Rates have been announced. These changes reflect the dynamic adjustments made by USG to accommodate various international events and ensure suitable accommodations for their travelers.
