Effective October 1, 2004, the State of Idaho has entered into a rental car contract with Enterprise Car Rental (SBPO1201). This contract is the culmination of an effort between the states of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho to leverage volume to garner reduced rental rates. The contract is for domestic travel only. The rates include all insurance, thus travelers should be instructed to decline any supplemental insurance coverage when completing the rental application.
Unlike previous automobile rental price agreements, this contract is a MANDATORY use contract. If Enterprise is unable to meet the needs of your agency travelers (unavailability of vehicles or location issues, for example), you should contact other car rental companies using prudent business purchasing practices. The State’s previous rental contractors, Dollar, Hertz, Budget, and Avis have indicated a willingness to honor previous price agreement conditions and rates.
Situations where Enterprise is unable to meet your traveler’s needs must be reported via email to my attention for contractor compliance purposes.
Agencies need to have an Agency ID number when making a reservation to ensure the proper contract rates and terms are provided. The agency ID for BSU is 47ID012 and the PIN, if needed, is IDS. If the reservation is made without the Agency ID number, regular retail rates, insurance coverage and terms will apply.
State government (BSU) ID is required when picking up the rental vehicle in order for the contract rates and terms to apply.
Reservations need to be made at least 24 hours in advance to ensure vehicle availability. On-line booking using Enterprise’s web site is the preferred method, but reservations may also be made by calling 1-800-RENT A CAR (1-800-736-8222). Select Option 3, and provide the BSU account number (47ID012 and PIN IDS).
Payment methods include use of the State’s Purchasing Card (MasterCard), American Express card, personal credit card or cash.
