Occasionally I attend meetings or conferences several hundred miles away from my office. In many of these cases, it would make sense for me to rent an airplane and fly instead of driving. My main question is -- How can I be reimbursed by my employer for this?
I have found some very vague answers to this out there, but I cannot find anything that definitively states how this should work.
I do have my commercial certificate, but I do not think this would fall under commercial activity. Also, my non-owned aircraft insurance does is for non-commercial use only, so I would like to do this without the requirement for the commercial certificate.
I am not seeking to be paid by my employer for this, just to be reimbursed for the aircraft rental or reimbursed some amount per mile just like I am when I drive my car.
In addition to this, I want the owner of my company to be comfortable from a liability standpoint. I can add the company as additional insured on my policy, but I am not sure if there are other things I can do.
So, does anyone have any experience with traveling for business reasons like this?
