How it Works

Off-Base Crashpad & TDY Lodging at Randolph AFB 

Temporary Military Housing & Rentals

Are you going TDY to Randolph AFB in San Antonio? Are you looking at all your options to see where the best place to stay is? We know that going TDY is not only stressful but also nerve-racking being uprooted and out of the comfort of your own home. You are going to a new location that you are unfamiliar with and staying in base housing is less than ideal. That’s why we are dedicated to providing you with the best off base housing solution. Why stay on base in a hotel room when you can stay off base in a custom one of a kind home with top of the line amenities and not pay anything additional out of pocket.

Defense Travel System

Do you have questions about DTS? We conducted in-depth research and have faced all of the common and uncommon problems that this system will cause. We are here to help! If you have financial issues or questions for how the process works we can help you navigate through it.

The Defense Travel System (DTS) is a fully integrated, automated, end-to-end travel management system that enables DoD travelers to create authorizations (TDY travel orders), prepare reservations, receive approvals, generate travel vouchers, and receive a split reimbursement between their bank accounts and the Government Travel Charge Card (GTCC) vendor.

.

Training is available for all levels of DTS users. To view available training by Type, Role, Topic, or Series visit the Training section of the DTMO website.

We know this can be very confusing and convoluted. We have created a powerpoint illustration showing you the steps you need to go through to fill out your DTS Authorization.

If the PowerPoint doesn’t give you the information you need you can contact DTS Support for Randolph AFB at the following:

  • As far as billing, think of TDY Haven as a hotel. Rent is charged at a nightly rate on whichever credit card you choose: either your Government Travel Card (GTC) or a personal card. Usually we bill that card once a month for the total number of nights you stayed with us that month. As far as the Defense Travel System (DTS) is concerned, we are the same as a hotel.
  • At the beginning of each month, you will receive an invoice from TDY Haven as well as a receipt from the credit card transaction.
Enjoy our rewards program! Once you’re established, if you refer someone at a later time, that completes their TDY stay with us, we will be providing a referral bonus as a thank you. We appreciate you keeping us in mind when referring people that stay with us down the line.
We have been in your shoes; depending on your training, your TDY start and end dates may change – and that’s okay! There is no penalty for needing to change dates based on changed TDY dates. If your end-date moves to a later-date, we are often able to accommodate you for the remaining duration of your TDY stay, we are flexible and do our best to fit your needs.
