The contract is for compact through full-size vehicles and vans (when necessary for business reasons.) When an auto rental supplier other than National Car Rental or Enterprise Rent-a-Car is used, the reimbursement is capped at the low of either the contracted rate or Brown's preferred supplier contracted rates.
