I work with USAID in Tel Aviv. My shipper dragged their feet and this has resulted in a singificant delay in arrival of my POV and HHE. There is no Mission transport from home to work and once my use of self-drive expires, I will have to rent a car or taxi due to Security preclusions on using mass transport. Either will cost me about $50 per day. Is there any way I can recover this? Thanks. kind of an unrelated question but would appreciate the help. I work with USAID in Tel Aviv.

TSA sometimes raises an eyebrow, but they've provided me with outlets to plug it in and then sent me on my way.
