After a bid process and careful review of data, the Procurement Department is happy to announce that we have a new preferred vendor to handle Seton Hall's car rental needs. This vendor is Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Enterprise will honor all rates provided to Seton Hall for business purposes to all of us and our friends, family and alums for personal use.

If you review your current preferred vendor list that I submitted to you the other day, you will notice that Shore Rentals and Dial and Drive are listed as preferred vendors for car rentals and leases. Please keep Dial and Drive and Shore Rentals on your list, but they should be used as an alternatives to Enterprise for larger van rentals and extended car leases. Enterprise should be your primary contact for daily, weekly and monthly car rentals and short term leases.

To take advantage of Enterprise Rent-A-Car's services, you should contact the local office here in South Orange. This Enterprise franchise can be reached at (973)763-6670. Ask for the Branch Rental Manager, Rob DiMattia, and he will assist you in renting your required car. When renting a car from him, you will need to do the following:

1. Inform him that you are calling and need a car for business or personal use.
2. If you are calling for business use, mention you are with Seton Hall and then you must provide him with our account #CN5870. You should work with him to select the appropriate car (with the rates mentioned below in mind). These rates are guaranteed for cars rented in NJ, NY and VT. In order to complete the transaction, you will need to provide Enterprise with a Seton Hall Purchase Order. You should obtain this number from my office prior to contacting Enterprise. Enterprise will not accept your order without a valid PO number. You should also provide the company with your name, department and phone number.
3. If you are calling for personal use, mention you are associated with Seton Hall and then you must provide them with our personal rental account - #CN5875. You will have to provide them with a personal credit card and other personal information to obtain the rental. You will receive the same prices indicated below.
4. If you are on the road, you can still reach out to the South Orange branch (again, at (973) 763-6670) to have the local dealer here help you arrange for a car in the area that you are in. Or, you can contact Enterprise at: (800)RENT-A-CAR. In contacting the 800 number, you will be connected to the closest Enterprise branch. No matter whom you contact will require a Seton Hall PO number for business rentals and a personal credit card for personal rentals. Reference the appropriate account number when doing this. Please understand though that rates outside of NY, NJ and VT are not guaranteed, but you may end up receiving a better rate as rates in this part of the country tend to be a bit more expensive anyway. You can always mention our local rates by car type to a dealer out of the area that may want to charge you a higher rate. No harm in trying to haggle for our better, local rate.
5. If you have any questions, please contact either myself on x9782 or my assistant, Don Kuhrt, on x2765.
6. Here are the rates guaranteed by car type in NJ, NY and VT. These rates are guaranteed for at least one year, but until further notice. Rates include free car delivery should you require that feature. Rates also include unlimited miles on daily and weekly rentals.

Subcompact cars (Geo Metro or Similar) - $26.99/day
Compact cars (Dodge Neon or Similar) - $29.99/day
Intermediate cars (Chevy Cavalier or Similar) - $33.99/day
Full size cars (Chevy Lumina or Similar) - $39.99/day
Premium cars (Pontiac Bonneville or Similar) - $45.99/day
Vans (Chevy Astro or Similar) - $59.99/day

When renting for business purposes, do not take the optional CDW/LDW Collision Damage Waiver and Supplemental Liability Protection - in the event of an accident, our insurance will cover the charge.

We are confident that Enterprise will provide us with quality cars, excellent service and pricing. Contact us for further information if necessary.
