===Private cars===
The use of private cars for nonprofit or business purposes may require the purchase of different vehicle licenses or insurance. Check with your legal adviser.
Line 48 ⟶ 49:
If private cars are used for transport, determine the reimbursement rate ahead of time. Reimbursement rates involve more than just the fuel cost. Most government agencies or tax offices have a standard per-kilometer or per-mile rate worked out by people who are expert at that task; information from the United States Internal Revenue Service is [http://www.irs.gov/2014-Standard-Mileage-Rates-for-Business,-Medical-and-Moving-Announced here for the 2014 rates]. Save time and debate within your organization or project by using a similar government rate or setting one at the start of planning. Often volunteers are happy to use their own car at their own expense for short trips without any reimbursement; just be careful not to put pressure on them or to discourage them from requesting reimbursement. Some of your volunteers may be more financially able than others to volunteer the time and expenses of using their vehicle to help others.
