travelnews: UO Business travel car rentals and loyalty programs

[BAO news for travel administrators]

Dear UO Travelers and Delegates:    ** Please share this widely with your UO travelers **

The rental car industry is challenged this year with car shortages due to interruptions in the semiconductor supply chain as a result of COVID-19. This means smaller fleets and higher car rental rates.  But UO travelers can take advantage of our University of Oregon car rental contracts for all UO  business travel by booking either in the Concur Booking Tool, with your TMC (travel management company), or by phone or online with the UO CDP (Corporate Discount Program) number found here:  UO Vehicle Rental<https://ba.uoregon.edu/travel/air-car-lodging-meals/vehicles#envelope-5347> .

Most preferred:  Enterprise and National.  Be sure to sign up FREE for Emerald Aisle loyalty program<https://legacy.nationalcar.com/en_US/car-rental/loyalty/corporate-Enrollment.html/keyWord=XZ46UOR.html?locale=en_US> to use for both Enterprise and National business and personal rentals.  Benefits include:


  *   Save Time, bypass the counter, and go directly to the Emerald Aisle lot.
  *   Choose your own car type/size on the "Aisle" and only pay for a midsize.
  *   Speedy return - "Drop and Go" service.  Receipt is emailed.
  *   No second driver fees
  *   No drop fee for one way rentals in some markets
  *   No underage driver surcharge - 18-24 yrs
  *   Earn free rental days for your personal travel.
  *   Vehicle upgrades in Europe.

Be sure to add your Emerald Aisle number to your Concur profile to take advantage of all car rental benefits when renting National or Enterprise for your UO business rentals.  Your number will automatically attach to Concur booking tool or TMC bookings.

Less Preferred:  Hertz.  See this link for their free signup for Gold Plus Rewards<https://www.hertz.com/rentacar/emember/join/overview.do?learnMore=gold>

I am happy to answer any questions.  Thank you,
