I just got reimbursed for the expense of renting a bicycle while traveling overseas on business. I did so as an alternative to renting a car, so the bike rental was significantly less expensive.
I asked my travel office contact beforehand and she said all I needed was a receipt clearly stating what the expense was for. I'm betting any state employee could do same.

That's cool. I think UT's a big enough institution though, that there _may_ be some variance on from department to department.
Back in 2002, working for UT, I had a business trip to Portland, Oregon. I gave a shot at renting a bike, not knowing for sure about reimbursement. A bike rental would have actually cost at least $75/week, so I looked for a bike to buy. I found a workable one for $30 -- to buy. I asked for a receipt that specified it as a rental. At the end of my trip, I gave it to a new acquaintance in Portland. When I returned to UT and asked if it was reimbursable, I had no problem with it. To the department admin, it was clearly UT and department policy to reimburse such travel expenses. Had I a receipt that said I "bought" the bike, I'm not positive what the response would have been, but I didn't take that chance.
