To help determine the benefits of renting a car, Enterprise provides a REIMBURSEMENT CALCULATOR and COMPANSION SPREADSHEET for UT System Employees. Each is intended to provide a base cost estimate. For instance, the calculator includes refueling costs but does not calculate tax or surcharges which vary by location/rental. The COMPANION SPREADSHEET provides basic information (excluding tax and refueling costs) for frequently traveled destinations - it is intended to be a snapshot allowing individuals to more closely consider travel options.
