Frequently asked questions
Does every city in Arizona have its own per diem rate?
No — only 5 locations have a separately listed GSA rate in Arizona. Every other city or county in the state uses the standard CONUS rate of $110.00 lodging + $68.00 M&IE.
Which city in Arizona has the highest per diem rate?
Sedona has the highest listed lodging cap in Arizona, at $274.00 a night, compared with $144.00 in Grand Canyon / Flagstaff.
How do I calculate per diem for a multi-city trip through Arizona?
Use the calculator on each city's page for the nights spent there, then add the totals together — lodging caps and M&IE tiers can differ from one Arizona city to the next, so a single flat rate for the whole trip would be inaccurate.
