- Globetrotter Travel - Globetrotter is a State of Maryland and USM contracted vendor for travel management services. Competitive bids are not required when making travel arrangements through Globetrotter. There is a $24 service fee per person on each common carrier reservation for business travel. There is no additional charge for hotel and various other reservations for business travel. When booking common carrier reservations a pre-approved spend authorization is required. Globetrotter will e-mail a quote to General Accounting which will be reviewed and checked against the spend authorization. If the spend authorization is less than the cost of the quote and/or is not fully approved, General Accounting cannot allow Globetrotter to issue the tickets. The tickets will be charged to the University's Diners Club Globetrotter account. Alternatively if you have an individual University Diners Club card you may charge your reservations to that card as long as they do not exceed $5,000 in total (including fees).

Rental Vehicles and Vehicle Insurance
When renting a vehicle additional insurance may not be purchased. The State is self-insured and the only insurance that may be purchased is for vehicles outside of the United States. See the Vehicle Rental Insurance Memo below. Additionally, because the State is self-insured you are required to use one of the University of Maryland Vehicle Rental Discount Codes listed below as these will provide insurance coverage at no additional cost. If you have a University Diners Club card you are required to use it as well since it also will provide insurance coverage at no additional cost.
The State of Maryland is self-insured and requires a $1,000 deductible per insurance claim. If a vehicle is damaged, the deductible will be charged to the renting department. If the cost of the repair is less than $1,000, the actual cost of the repair will be charged to the renting department instead. This also applies to the use of University vehicles.
If you have any questions, or need any additional information regarding the University’s insurance coverage, please contact Denise Schurg at 301.687.4335 or dlschurg@frostburg.edu.
