Important Update
Purdue University rental vehicle reservations transitioning to Enterprise
Over the past few years, Transportation Services has slowly been transferring vehicle rental reservations to Enterprise.
In order to accommodate more rental vehicle reservations from university travelers, Enterprise increased their staff and fleet at their Purdue University Airport branch. In addition, they have improved their customer satisfaction score to better serve campus customers.
-
Currently, university travelers who use Transportation Services and have a Travel Card to book rental vehicles will receive a message from Transportation Services advising that the reservation was booked with Enterprise and the traveler should use their Travel Card to pay at the counter.
-
Future reservations should be made following the guidance on the Car Rental webpage. Rental reservations can be made through Concur or directly with the car rental company. A quick reference guide is available to assist with booking a reservation.
-
Contract vehicle rental rates are automatically applied when reservations are made in Concur. While Enterprise is the preferred supplier, additional car rental agencies will also be listed in Concur as booking options.
-
If Concur returns a "not available" message for the rental dates or type, contact the rental agency directly to see if they can accommodate the request.
-
Rental vehicles must be picked up within the business hours of the company being utilized. A form of payment is required at that time. Travelers are encouraged to use a Travel Card. Vehicles may be returned outside of normal business hours. It is the traveler’s responsibility to validate the rental agency hours.
- Our preferred car rental agency, Enterprise, has a location at the Purdue University Airport located at 1452 Aviation Drive in West Lafayette. This location has the following hours:
- Monday-Friday: 8 a.m.-6 p.m.
- Saturday: 9 a.m.-12 p.m.
- Sunday: Closed
