Default Deviate with rental car??

Possibly stupid question. Can we deviate and use a rental car to go from where we were scheduled to layover to a different city (not home or domicile). I just want to zip over to visit a friend and all buses/trains/flights aren't working.
Thx

Sure, just don't expect the company to pay for said rental car. This topic was just discussed a few days ago, I believe. You can, however, use a limo service or Uber, as was discussed. And, under no circumstances, can you "zip."

If that's your "friend" in the picture, any form of transportation will do.

In as much as we all suspect that Management policy is dictated by the Corporate Legal Department ...

I've always suspected that the "no rental car" policy was a liability issue? Otherwise it would often save $$ for the penny-pinchers

Could elaborate for two pages with an ACP backing my use of a rental car for official travel, but at the end (three months) it was shot down. If you cannot fly in any form, get a car (limo, Uber(which I've done over $300)) within your bank. Good luck��.
