Renting A Vehicle For University Business

Automobile rental is allowable for business travel only. The traveler is expected to rent a mid-size or smaller vehicle unless a larger car is required based on the number of bags and/or travelers in the group. If the traveler rents a car from a car rental agency, the university’s blanket auto insurance policy automatically covers these rentals and it is not necessary to purchase additional insurance. If an insurance claim becomes necessary, a copy of the rental agreement should be submitted to the Office of Compliance and Risk Management. If the traveler is renting a car in another country (other than the U.S.), it is required that the traveler purchase insurance at the time of rental. The Travel Policy provides additional information regarding automobile rental. Florida Tech has established car rental contracts with Avis and Enterprise National. The minimum age to rent a car is 25.
