Enterprise | National | Hertz

P2P’s preferred car rental vendors are Enterprise Rent-a-Car, National Car Rental and Hertz. When booking rental cars for business, any of these suppliers should be chosen because of the discounted pricing and the insurance coverage that is included in the agreements. P2P’s car rental rates are available when making reservations through iBuy+ Travel. iBuy will insert the contract identifier into the reservation, ensuring that the appropriate rates are offered and the insurance coverage is included in the reservation.

When picking-up the vehicle, renters should check the boxes on the rental agreement to decline Collision, Liability and Personal Injury coverages. Collision and Liability coverages are included in the rental rate and employees are provided medical and life insurance coverage. Provisions within the car rental contracts are extended to employees and students 20 years of age and older who are conducting authorized business. Drivers must be 21 years of age to rent vehicles with ten or more available seats. The use of 15 passenger vans is not permitted.

Note – employees and students may use iBuy+ Travel to obtain contract pricing for leisure/personal rentals, but insurance coverage is not provided for leisure/personal rentals. Insurance is only provided on business related rentals. Employees and students renting vehicles for leisure/personal travel should contact their personal vehicle insurance provider to determine if their existing insurance coverage includes rental vehicles.

GW Risk Management Insurance

Coverage of rental cars works in the following manner:

• For student drivers who are 20 years of age and older and renting on university business, the current agreement with Enterprise Rent-a-Car, National Car Rental and Hertz, automatically provides Collision Damage Waiver Coverage (CDW) as well as Liability Coverage. This also includes GW faculty and staff when renting vehicles for university-related activities with Enterprise, National or Hertz. There is no deductible for domestic rentals.

• Drivers must be 21 years of age to rent vehicles with ten or more available seats.

• For international rentals, the current agreement will provide collision coverage with each country having its own deductible amount. In addition, the agreement will automatically include the minimum liability coverage required by each country. Additional liability coverage as well as extra coverage to reduce the collision deductible should be purchased if available.

• Please note that 15 passenger vans are not allowed.

Rental Vehicles for Student Groups with Enterprise, National or Hertz

The Vehicle Safety Policy addresses rental vehicles for student groups. Anyone renting a vehicle for GW business is required to successfully complete the Driver’s Authorization Application which includes an online test. Student drivers who are 20 years of age are approved to drive up to a maximum of 200 miles each way from the rental car pickup location. Student drivers who are 20 years of age and older are approved to drive up to a maximum of 3 hours at a time for no more than 6 hours per day.

 

Domestic rail tickets can be booked through iBuy+ Travel. A service fee will be charged similar to the fee charged for an airline ticket.

The decision to use a private car service should be made by the traveler and their Vice President, who must pre-approve the expenditure. A private sedan or town car service may be used when the cost is reasonable and consistent with business requirements, such as several meetings in different locations with tight time constraints. Use of a private stretch limousine should be limited to situations involving multiple passengers or exceptional circumstances and must be documented on the expense report. The written pre-approval by the appropriate Vice President should be attached to the expense report for all Private Car Service expenditures.

Car services offer private, tailored services for special occasions and for travelers who may require special attention or services. Rates are generally higher for these services compared to traditional ground transportation. However, when authorized use of this type of transportation is required, negotiated rates with our preferred partners ensure that GW travelers receive the full benefits of these specialized services, at a reduced cost. 

Preferred Partners:

Travelers should obtain a receipt from the driver or transportation company which includes:

• Passenger name
• Date of travel
• Points of origin and destination
• Total amount of the fare
• Proof of payment
