Vehicle Rental Services

The Texas Department of Insurance (Agency 454) awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services under Contract No. 975-C1. The award was made on November 15, 2025, with a contract value of $114.96. The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida 33928, serves as the prime contractor. The contract encompasses one line item classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514, specified as commodity code "D," with a quantity of one unit at a unit price of $114.96.

The contract period extends through the completion date of September 15, 2025, with the award documentation referencing a purchase order dated November 15, 2025. The State of Texas has claimed a sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) for purchases intended for exclusive use by the state or its political subdivisions. The procurement is designated for shipment to the United States, and the state is exempt from Federal Excise Taxes under the contract terms. Given the minimal contract value, this award appears to represent a single or limited vehicle rental transaction rather than an ongoing fleet management arrangement.
