Car Rentals

Effective January 1, 2006 there is only ONE car rental company that will be on State Contract - Enterprise. In the event that Enterprise cannot provide service, the secondary vendor, Alamo/Vanguard Car Rental USA, must be used. Vanguard is the parent company of Alamo and National Car Rental. Departments are required to ensure that the secondary vendor is only used when the primary vendor cannot provide service. The new agreement does not have a negotiated rate for vans or trucks. For the time being, Enterprise will do Van rentals in accordance with the old contract. The new rates SHOULD  be lower.

DGS has reaffirmed the importance of using the University American Express card in order to achieve the protections afforded in the Master Contract program. This includes all of the following insurance, (LDW/CDW/and Liability).  Travelers MUST provide or enter the CSU’s Corporate ID and any PIN required at the time the reservation is made.

  • If the Corporate ID is not provided OR if a personal credit card is used, the terms of the contract are voided and the rental company is not obligated to adhere to the State Contract.
  • Enterprise MAY give you the option of billing the University directly. DO NOT BILL THE UNIVERSITY. The rental car expense MUST be made on your University American Express card.
  • Please remember - even if you think the discount is negligible, the rates quoted consist of the ALL INCLUSIVE INSURANCE that has been negotiated and is a necessity.
