UCR employees may now access the discounts available via various UC Travel Agreements for personal travel by using the Short’s “Find It” tool.   

 

•    The “Find It” tool requires the download of a browser add-on.  

•    Google Chrome is the recommended browser to use with the Find It tool.

•    Please visit the following website to download the add-on and access instructions for using the tool:  https://www.findit.travel/UC.htm

•    The “Find It” tool is an automated booking option that begins at familiar sites such as Orbitz, Expedia, airline websites and hotel websites and then applies available UC discounts and negotiated rates.

•    The “Find It” tool is available to anyone with a valid UC email address. 

Important considerations before booking personal travel using the UC discount:

 

•    Personal travel cannot be charged to the university.  Use of UCR purchase orders/DAPOs and ProCards for personal travel is prohibited.

•    Employees must book their own personal travel.  UCR personnel/staff cannot be utilized to assist with another employee’s personal travel.

•    Similar to other travel agents, agency fees may apply to bookings.  

•    The standard UC Travel Insurance does not cover personal travel, however, travel insurance is available for purchase by the individual.  For information on coverage options while on personal travel visit https://www.ucop.edu/risk-services-travel/personal.html 

•    Personal use of car rentals are not covered under the UC insurance program.  Travelers should use their personal insurance or purchase insurance from the rental company.
