Although you will see your total per diem reflected in either your TM4 authorization or med/evac cable, we only use your total lodging per diem allocation for our services. That means no unreimbursed or additional expenses. Our services are two-fold:

  1. For those requesting lodging and furnishing, we first allocate per diem toward lodging. After taxes and a booking fee, we then apply the standard rate based upon market research for renting not only brand-new, but also entirely customizable furnishings (this is very different from competitors, who rent used and refurbished items…all sourced from warehouses of items they’ve been reusing for up to 15 years! In contrast, we only provide brand-new, specifically tailored items). We then incorporate the standard transaction fee that credit card companies charge as a surcharge; the logistics cost for delivery, assembly, and disassembly of the furnishings; and the insurance premium to cover liability since no one else rents brand-new items. In short, because these items must be rented during your TDY, the calculations are designed on market price, factoring in brand-new items that are also customizable, while accounting for liability. Second, each geographic region adds varying rates for taxes, moving logistics, and insurance. At the end of your TDY, you can then choose to purchase your items for 75% off their full market rate since we do not reuse anything + most items have been uniquely tailored to individual preferences.
  2. For those requesting only lodging, we incorporate the transaction fees typically charged by credit card companies and a standard booking fee, all within your per diem rate.
