(1) If a member or her/his spouse or companion, dependant, parent or parent-in-law travels by motor vehicle, the member is reimbursed for the full cost of the journey via the shortest route, at the higher of the AA rate or the government rate per km, provided it works out cheaper or the same as a journey between Cape Town and the member's registered home/constituency base. Each such journey is offset against the quota per financial year of air journeys.
