Arrival and airport transfer
Your car is waiting at your home when you check in. If you fly into Frankfurt, we can arrange a transfer from Frankfurt Airport (FRA) to your home on request, so you do not need a rental car for the first drive.
How the car fits TDY per diem and TLA
On TDY orders your lodging is paid through your travel per diem, on PCS orders through TLA. The car is part of our all-inclusive lodging price, so you claim one lodging rate as usual and there is nothing extra to file for the car. Whether your orders additionally authorize a separate rental vehicle is set by your orders. You receive a finance-ready invoice for your voucher, VAT relief forms are accepted and you can pay with your GTCC.
Why a car matters in the KMC
The Kaiserslautern Military Community is spread out over many villages. Without a car, getting to the gate, the Exchange and Commissary or a house viewing depends on taxis or colleagues. With a car from your first morning you can simply get on with work and, if you are moving here, start looking at long-term housing right away.
