When traveling for university business, you can rent a vehicle as a form of transportation. Here are two options for booking a rental vehicle through 49er Mart. Remember, if you're traveling overnight, you need an approved Travel Authorization (TA or eTA) that includes rental approval before making a reservation.
Option 1: Direct Billing - Enterprise
The university will receive the rental invoice, and Disbursements will handle the payment.
- Go to Enterprise
- Links to an external site.
- In 49er Mart, choose one of the two Direct Bill Options
- Direct Bill - Enterprise
- Direct Bill - National
- Credit Card Pay - Dual Branded - Only select this if using a PCard, not for Requisition. See Option 2 below.
- Complete an approved Travel Authorization or eTA. Ensure you select “Yes” for “Vehicle Rental Authorized?”
- Create a non-catalog order to Enterprise Holdings Inc. DBA Enterprise Rent-A-Car in 49er Mart.
- Use “rental car with traveler name” for the product description and the trip dates as the catalog number, e.g., 031520-031820 (MMDDYY).
- Enter the estimated price from step 1; it should match your research.
- Set quantity and packaging fields to 1.
- Click save and close.
- Go to your Cart and start the checkout process.
- Provide the required information:
- Enter the Request ID from Concur.
- Attach a copy of the rental price estimate (for Disbursements).
- Once approved, a purchase order number (PO#) will be generated.
- Finalize your reservation with the PO#
- Log back into Enterprise via 49er Mart and select the UNC Charlotte Travel Direct Bill option to book your rental.
- Select ‘Yes” for both Confirm Trip Purpose and Billing sections.
- Input the NCR DIRECT BILLING NUMBER: 18018640 (DB53040). This number is also available in the 49er Mart Showcase with a link to the internal notes on the Supplier’s profile. To prevent fraud, do not share this number publicly.
- Enter the PO# in the Additional Details section.
- After completing the rental, receive the item in 49er Mart so Disbursements can process the invoice sent directly to the university.
Option 2: Purchasing Card – Enterprise and National Car Rental
The employee pays for the rental vehicle using a university purchasing card (the cardholder must present the card when picking up the vehicle) or pays out-of-pocket and seeks reimbursement.
- Go to Enterprise
- Links to an external site.
- In 49er Mart, select Business Use, Car Rental, then “Credit Card Pay-Dual Branded” to get a vehicle rental estimate.
- Get an approved TA or eTA. Ensure you select “Yes” for “Vehicle Rental Authorized?”
- Return to Enterprise via 49er Mart and choose “Rental Car Credit Card Pay-Dual Branded” and either “Reserve with Enterprise Rent-A-Car” or “Reserve with National Car Rental.” Under Additional Details, set the PO number to NA. Print the confirmation page for your records.
- After your trip, attach the paid rental receipt and enter the purchasing card TXN number, if applicable, on the Travel Reimbursement and Expense Report (TRER).
