    Standard mileage rates 299. Mileage allowances at standard rates will be paid to practitioners who use their own vehicles for official journeys, other than in the circumstances described at paragraphs 291, 298 and 300; provided that a practitioner may opt to be paid mileage allowances at standard rates, notwithstanding his entitlement to payment at regular user rates. Public transport mileage rate 300. The foregoing rates shall not apply if a practitioner uses a private motor vehicle in circumstances where travel by a public service (eg., rail, steamer, bus) would be appropriate. For such journeys, an allowance at public transport rate shall be paid, unless this is higher than the rate that would be payable under standard or regular user rates. Passenger allowances 301. Where other employees or members of an employing authority are conveyed in the same vehicle on the business of the National Health Service and their fares by a public service would otherwise be payable by the authority, passenger mileage allowance shall be paid. Garage expenses, tolls and ferries 302. Subject to the production of vouchers wherever possible, practitioners using their private motor vehicles on an official journey at the standard or regular user rates of mileage allowances shall be refunded reasonable garage and parking expenses and charges for tolls and ferries necessarily incurred, except that charges for overnight garaging or parking shall not be reimbursed, unless the practitioner is entitled to night subsistence allowance for overnight absence. Similar expenses may also be refunded to practitioners only entitled to the “public transport rate of mileage allowance, provided that the total reimbursement for an official journey does not exceed the cost which would otherwise have been incurred on public transport, including the fares of any official passengers.
