Vehicle Rental Information

Procurement and Contract Services would like to remind all faculty, staff, and students of the current State rental car contracts for use on official business that can help reduce travel costs.  Did you know that on a day trip to the coast or to Jackson, using a state contract rental car could cut your costs nearly in half?  Of course, those savings will depend on the distance, vehicle size, and number of days your travels keep you away from your office.  Although you must purchase the fuel on your own and seek reimbursement through the Travel Office, you can pay for rental car using your USM procurement card if you have one.
