STEP 1: Prepare a Requisition
You must have a PO number BEFORE you can make your reservation.
    Create   a separate requisition for each vehicle rented.
    Create   the requisition with vendor number V0000229723.
       Include
              in the requisition contract #SC 16-SC-017-CW; approved
       10/13/15; expires 09/29/20
    Blanket   purchase orders will not be created for this vendor.
    Pleaseprovide ample time for the requisition to be approved
    and rolled to a PO.
    Don’tdelay! Demand for rental cars fluctuates, and often
    spikes around weekends and holidays. Make your reservation
    as early as possible to ensure a car will be available for you.

STEP 2: Complete the Rental Car Request Form                                                             (cont’d)

                          IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER:
    Complete one form for each vehicle you are renting.
         If there is more than one driver, complete a form for each driver.
         Remember, volunteers cannot be drivers; district employees only.
    All rentals must be compact class unless justification for a larger vehicle is documented on the
     Rental Car Request Form.
    Board Policy prohibits renting passenger vans with seating capacity greater than ten (10)
     persons. Enterprise’s largest van holds a maximum of seven (7) people.
    Do not add any insurance, accessories, or other extra items. Insurance coverage is already
     included in the daily rate, and additional items will not be paid or reimbursed by the
     District.
         Exception is insurance for large truck rentals (see slide 36).
    Tolls –
              Within the State of Florida, driver should use their SunPass device or pay cash for
               tolls. If you drive through without paying, the driver will personally receive a bill,
               including a convenience charge. The driver’s bill will have a separate remittance
               address from the rental car bill that the district receives. Driver must retain and
               submit receipts from toll payments or invoice payment to be reimbursed.
              Outside of Florida, driver must pay cash for tolls and retain and submit receipts to be
               reimbursed.
                                                                                                                    12
STEP 2: Complete the Rental Car Request Form                                               (cont’d)

                         IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER:
    You DO NOT have to wait for approval of your form from Accounting before making
     your reservation. Once the form is submitted, move forward with your online
     reservation.
    Note the hours of operation for the Enterprise location where you will be picking
     up and dropping off the vehicle. Using a key drop off box to return a vehicle after
     hours will result in an extra day of charges.
    It is the Driver’s responsibility to:
          NOT upgrade the vehicle or add on any insurance, accessories, or other extra
           items when picking up the vehicle. This includes toll devices.
          Note the condition of the vehicle upon pickup and return.
          Refuel the vehicle PRIOR TO return (retain your receipts for reimbursement).
           The District will not pay or reimburse a refueling charge imposed by
           Enterprise/National.
          Report to an Alamo or National desk (or kiosk if at an airport) if the
           Enterprise desk is closed.

Truck Rentals
   In Central Florida, car rental locations carry light duty pick up trucks (no towing),
    but they DO NOT carry larger trucks. These have to be reserved through the truck
    division, which is not part of the online reservation system.
        In Brevard, the two truck division locations are in Cocoa and in West Melbourne.
        Larger trucks may still appear as a selection in the drop down of the online reservation
         system because some regions either do not have truck divisions OR because that region’s
         car rental location does carry larger trucks.

   The following slide shows rates for larger trucks.

   To reserve through the truck division, contact Denise Berthiaume directly (see
    slides 37 and 38 for her contact information).
        Please have your PO number, account number, and billing number available.
        Mickey Mitchell (ext. 662) can provide you with your account number.

                                                                                                    34
