Exclusions

RMIT-controlled entities or any Cabcharge account not operating as part of the RMIT-approved Cabcharge Service delivery model are excluded from complying with this Taxi Travel Procedure.

Procedure steps and actions

Official travel is an important element in the delivery of RMIT services. The costs associated with travel are therefore required to be accounted for and carefully managed.

RMIT has endorsed the use of Taxi e-Tickets (e-Tickets) and Cabcharge cards (cards) for taxi travel for RMIT business purposes. These procedures support the management and use of Taxi e-Tickets and Cabcharge cards.

1. When can I use an e-Ticket?

The availability, convenience or practicality of using a RMIT pool vehicle or other means of transport should be considered before booking a taxi.
