9  Limits and conditions on members' use of COMCAR within Australia

When other car transport is reasonably available
 (1) COMCAR is not available for the purposes of subsection 8(2) of the Regulations if the member could reasonably use the member's private plated vehicle in the circumstances, assuming the member had a private plated vehicle.
Note: A member who chooses an allowance instead of a private plated vehicle could reasonably be expected to use the allowance instead of claiming COMCAR transport costs in circumstances where a private plated vehicle could otherwise reasonably be used.

COMCAR to be treated as 'unscheduled commercial transport' for applicable cost limits in the Regulations
 (2) COMCAR transport costs are to be treated as unscheduled commercial costs for the purposes of any applicable limit for a member in section 14 of the Regulations.
Note: This means that the transport costs for a journey taken by COMCAR will count towards the member's limit (if any) in subsection 14(1) of the Regulations, if the transport costs for a member to travel by unscheduled commercial transport for that journey would have counted towards the limit.
