State Government rates are either enabled or disabled across all states in Concur and cannot be selectively turned on or off by state. Please note that UW travelers are only eligible for State Government rates within Wisconsin. Review the information below to ensure that you are only booking rates that are eligible for University of Wisconsin travelers.
Can I book a State Rate in Concur?
A: If booking a hotel within Wisconsin, employees may use the State Government Rate.
You may also see the option for a State Government rate outside of Wisconsin. It is important to review the Rules and Cancellation policy. State Government Rates are generally only for employees who work in the same state that the hotel is located.
Examples:
For hotels located in Wisconsin, travelers are eligible to use State Government Rates and University of Wisconsin System rates.
What happens if I booked a State Government Rate in a different state?
You may be denied the rate at check-in and be charged a rate higher than the lodging per diem.
Why are State Government Rates from a different State displayed in Concur? Shouldn’t only eligible rates be displayed?
If State Government Rates were prevented from being displayed in Concur, this would include State of Wisconsin government rates. As UW Travelers are eligible for those rates and a large portion of our travel is within Wisconsin, we cannot turn off this rate type.
