Rental Car

Rental Car Expenses are reimbursable expenses for employees. The Travel Reimbursement form is located at Forms. The employee will have to pay for the cost of the rental upfront and the University will reimburse the traveler after the trip is over. Additional insurance, GPS charges or upgrades are not reimbursable. In addition the compact or standard car should be rented unless additional people are traveling and a larger vehicle is needed. If a larger vehicle is required, a letter of justification is required when reimbursement is requested. Additional drivers are not allowed except when sharing the car with another UNCP faculty/staff member traveling on the same trip. UNCP would like to make you aware that Enterprise Rent-A-Car is under contract with the state and the only car rental that should be used.
