Vehicle Rental Services

The Texas Department of Transportation - 601 awarded a term contract for Vehicle Rental Services to The Hertz Corporation on October 27, 2025. The prime contractor, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida 33928, was selected to provide rental vehicle services exclusively for use by the State of Texas. The contract encompasses a single line item designated as item "D" under Term Contract 975-C1, with a total contract value of $153.28. This procurement was processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division and qualifies for state sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4).

The stated completion date of September 15, 2025, predates the award date of October 27, 2025, suggesting this may represent a retroactive documentation of services or a data entry discrepancy. The purchase order reflects a unit price of $153.28 for one unit of the specified rental service item. No federal excise taxes or applicable sales taxes apply to this procurement, given its classification as official state use. The minimal contract value and single-unit quantity suggest this may represent a specific, limited-scope vehicle rental transaction rather than an ongoing fleet management engagement.
