Insurance Considerations
You’ll want to make sure you have insurance coverage for any damage to the rental car, as well as to other persons and property. In many instances, you will be enrolled automatically in UC’s policy coverage, so there isn’t any need to purchase additional insurance when picking up the vehicle. Information about UC’s rental car insurance program is available in ConnexUC in the Policies & Resources section.
How do you pay?
You can pay using a personal credit card, US Bank Corporate Travel Card, or cash. A detailed receipt is required for reimbursement, regardless of the dollar amount for the rental.
