RENTAL CAR PROCEDURES

The following are the procedures to be followed when renting a car locally for in-county and out-of-county travel when taking a flight will not be part of the trip. (Refer to Travel Procedures for airport pick up rentals) The current state contract is with ENTERPRISE RENT-A-CAR.

For reservations contact ENTERPRISE at 305-262-4930 for University Park, or at 305-948-9432 for North Campus rentals. These are the only two ENTERPRISE offices authorized to direct bill F.I.U. for the cost of the rental. The type of car, date, and time of pick up needs to be arranged with ENTERPRISE. If the car is not a compact, justification for a larger car must be provided. The car will be delivered to Public Safety at both University Park, and North Campus.

Complete a "Rental Car Authorization Form". (These forms can be obtained from the Controller's Office) This form will serve as your T.A.R. Please make sure to complete each section and have your supervisor approve it.

At the time the car is delivered, the ENTERPRISE Representative is to be given the first and second copy of the Rental Car Authorization Form. The third copy should be retained as a file copy for the traveler. ENTERPRISE is not authorized to bill the F.I.U. account without the Rental Car Authorization Form. In the instances where there is no time to obtain a Rental Car Authorization Form you will need to provide ENTERPRISE with a personal credit card number. They will bill your account, and you may seek reimbursement by completing a Reimbursement Voucher.

Vehicles will be delivered with a minimum of one-half tank full of gasoline. You do not need to return the car with gasoline. Enterprise will bill F.I.U. for the gas.

When the trip is completed, return the vehicle to Public Safety. Time stamp your rental agreement and place in ENTERPRISE drop box along with the vehicle keys.

The charges for the rental will be identified on the monthly ledgers received by the corresponding department.
