coe-staff: Travel and Rental Cars

[Lisa Fortin]

Sent on behalf of Chris Krabiel

Hello,

Recently there have been a couple of rental vehicle accidents costing each unit $5,000.

I recommend renting vehicles under the state contract where there are some coverages as part of this contract with Enterprise/National car, the state contract. When renting outside of the state rental vehicle contract, I do encourage departments to add coverage through the rental vehicle service provider you have chosen.

The University continues to explore auto insurance coverage options every year at insurance renewal. At this time the department or unit deductible for property, vehicle and liability claims is $5,000.  Expenses related to a claim above the first $5,000 are then covered by the University self-insurance pool which is funded through the general fund.   The department or unit, including research units are directly responsible for the first $5,000. There are not any "Dean"  funds or foundation funds to pay for rental car accidents.   There are options for coverage, which are using the state contract or directly paying for the rental car coverage through the vehicle service provider.  If a unit does not utilize one of these options, the unit is taking on the risk for $5,000 per occurrence.

Please note that fleet vehicles rented through the motor pool are self-insured by UO.   Please let me know if you have more questions.
