WWU安排运输

SAVINGS!  只要有可能,请使用 企业租车 所有大学业务. Please note that this account cannot be used for personal travel. In addition to savings in the cost of renting the vehicle, the rate provided through this account includes the Damage Waiver for no additional charge, as well as roadside assistance (some services may still incur a charge). So, 万一发生事故, the 企业租车 insurance policy will cover damages instead of a claim being processed through our University business auto policy. The 租车政策 位于 Accounting webpage under the Accounts Payable subheading of the Faculty & 员工资源页面. All drivers of the rental car need to be an 批准的司机.

If there is a significant price difference, feel free to rent with another company.

Rented vehicles being used for University business by an authorized 批准的司机, 在美国境内, 加拿大或波多黎各, that are not rented through Enterprise are covered by the University business auto insurance policy. An insurance ID card is available from the Risk & 安全官, which you can carry as proof of coverage. Please waive any insurance offered from the rental company, as it would be duplicate coverage.

Vehicles rented outside the United States, 加拿大或波多黎各 are NOT covered by the University business auto insurance policy. 请与 Risk & 安全官 prior to travel, to obtain the required insurance coverage.
