The primary contract the University utilizes for rental vehicles is the State of Florida contract with Avis/Budget. There are also alternative contracts with Enterprise and Hertz. Rates for all 4 vendors are built into the UF GO Booking tool. Please visit the following pages for more information:

The State of Florida contract also allows for discounted rates for personal use with Avis/Budget. To access these rates, visit the Transportation section of the GatorPerks website to access the portal and make your reservation. The portal will verify the renter is using an UF email address AND the renter will need to present their UF ID upon vehicle pickup. In the past, Avis/Budget used discount codes, but those are no longer valid, and the portal is the only method in which to receive the significantly discounted rates. There are also discounted rates for Hertz found on GatorPerks as well. Remember, the transaction agreement for personal purchases is between the individual and the rental agency. The University is not a 3rd party in the transaction agreement.
**PLEASE NOTE** This State contract allows the discounted rates for Faculty and Staff only and are not extended to Students. Graduate Students can only access discounted rates if, upon vehicle pickup, they present a staff badge OR have employment status of OPS or higher AND present a letter of introduction from the department (on letterhead) stating that the person in question should have access to the staff rates. The letter would need to be signed by director/dean/chair.
