Please note the University policy change on car rentals:

  • The University has made an agreement with Enterprise/National Car Rental for all car rentals. University employees should use these two car rental agencies for all vehicle rentals for University business and reserve them through Brown's Travel Portal. The contractual rate includes liability insurance and collision damage insurance. Use of other car rental agencies is permissible when National Car and Enterpise are not available in the region you are traveling. Reimbursement will be based on the contracted rates through Brown's preferred suppliers.
