Good afternoon all J

I’ve been reminded that it is Vehicle Rental time for some groups.

We’ve gathered some information regarding the vehicle rental process so I thought I would share.  Some of this is old news to you and if so, just treat this as a reminder ;)

Obtaining a rental vehicle:

1. You will need to go on Enterprise’s website and get a quote.  The quote should include the dates of the rental (pick up and return) and the make and model of your preferred vehicle. 

                        **Please keep in mind that the cost on the quote will be significantly higher than University pricing**. 

2. Send your quote along with an purchase requisition to psorders@umanitoba.ca .  The order desk will then create a PO using University pricing and send it to Enterprise.

Picking up your rental:

1. Rental vehicles are covered under the University insurance policy and therefore the insurances that Enterprise wants to charge should be declined.

Once you have picked up your rental:

1. Please send an email to psorders@umanitoba.ca  with the make & model of the vehicle along with the license plate number to arrange the following:

a) Gas Cards:

- Gas cards are for Red River Co-Op (St. Norbert). 

- Gas cards are registered to the vehicle, so they are to remain in the vehicle and cannot be used to put gas in another.

- Gas cards are available in the General Office once we have the information requested.

- I also use the information to allow access to the UofM fuel pumps located at the back end of Lot E.

b) Parking passes:

-  All vehicles on campus (including The Point) MUST have a parking pass. 

- There are summer passes available up to (and including) August 31^st.  Any vehicles to be parked on campus after this date will need to renew for another year.  This poses a problem sometimes, so please be mindful of dates in this regard.  

- Parking passes will be charged to the PI and is not covered by the University.

- There is a field on the parking pass where we can request a lot that is preferred. The Parking Office will try to accommodate the request, but if not, they will make an alternate suggestion.

I think that’s it, however if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact psorders@umanitoba.ca.

Thank you,

Amanda
