Use of private providers of transport and accommodation
CAS has adopted the following general guidelines concerning the use of private providers of transport and accommodation when travelling (Airbnb, Gomore, Uber etc.). The guidelines apply to all employees:
Travel may not take place by car-pooling or private rental of cars found through online services such as GoMore or similar. The School does not consider personal safety or the safety of transport in these programs adequate. Expenses in this respect can therefore as a general rule, not be settled. Overnight stays in Denmark must be arranged in accordance with AU's hotel agreement and may not be arranged using private providers such as Airbnb or similar. For stays abroad, it is up to the employees to assess which type of accommodation they wish to arrange as long as it is within the framework and amount available in the Agreement on Official Travel.
