National and Enterprise Rental Cars

Enterprise has a strategic relationship with the University.   National Car Rental and Enterprise Rent-A-Car are designated as the primary car rental supplier for Wayne State University travelers.  Our program with Enterprise and National provides travelers with special recognition service and speed, whether renting at an airport or in the local market where you live and work.

For security reasons, the process for obtaining WSU discount rates is only posted on the Enterprise Car Rental Tile in WayneBuy.    You must be logged into WayneBuy for the preceding link to work.  For regular passenger vehicle rentals, there will be information on use of Enterprise's dedicated Enterprise Business Use Reservation form .   You will not need an Account number, as authentication happens by use of the link found on the tile.  For 12-15 passenger vans and for truck rentals, you’ll need to contact Enterprise via phone at whichever Enterprise location you will be using.

Before your first rental with National or Enterprise, please take the time to enroll in the Emerald Club program.  For security reasons, this enrollment link is also only posted on the Enterprise Car Rental Tile in WayneBuy.  Enrolling will ensure you receive the appropriate rates, services and benefits every time you rent. This will take approximately 10 minutes and your membership will be active immediately upon completion.

The preferred method to reserve a rental vehicle is as follows:

• WSU TravelCard when booking for individual use, such as a University paid out-of-town trip
• WSU TravelCard or University ProCard when booking for local transportation and/or for group travel

You will need to provide our Business Travel Account Number and your Emerald Club membership number.  or security reasons, this number is only posted on the Enterprise Car Rental Tile in WayneBuy. 

For security and fraud reasons, Enterprise no longer accepts Purchase Orders for car rental services

Be sure to update your travel profile in Concur with your Emerald Club number. Once you update your travel profile with your new Emerald Club number you start earning rewards!

Please note:  When renting a vehicle for personal use, the University is not responsible for any damage or loss.  The traveler should determine whether they have coverage under their personal vehicle insurance or whether they opt to add insurance to the rental with Enterprise.  Also, when renting for business or personal use outside of the United States or Canada, it is strongly recommended to include insurance.

Bus Rental is not included in this agreement.  Procurement and Strategic Sourcing (PASS), in conjunction with the campus community, undertook an extensive Strategic Sourcing RFP effort to select a preferred supplier for school bus services. As a result of this effort, National Trails has been awarded the contract.
