Increase in Domestic Travel Lodging Rate Maximum (2024)

Effective January 1, 2024

The University of California Office of the President (UCOP) has increased the maximum lodging rate for business travel of less than 30 days within the continental United States (48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia) from $275 to $333 per night (not including taxes and mandatory hotel fees). 

This increase is effective for travel that occurred on and after January 1, 2024, but only applies to expense reports that were created and submitted in Concur after April 19, 2024.

UCOP has revised Business & Finance Bulletin G-28: Travel Regulations to reflect this change.
