Vehicle Rental Services

The State of Texas awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The contracting organization is Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (Agency 716), and the award was executed on October 26, 2025. The Hertz Corporation, headquartered in Estero, Florida, will provide vehicle rental services under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing Code 97514. The contract represents a cumulative value of $210.76 based on a single purchase order placed under this term agreement.

The purchase order specifies one unit at a unit price of $210.76, with performance anticipated through the contract's term. As a state procurement, the transaction qualifies for Texas sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) due to exclusive use by the State of Texas or a Texas political subdivision, and is subject to federal excise tax exemptions as outlined in the contract terms. The relatively modest order value suggests this represents an initial or supplemental draw against the broader term contract framework established between the state and The Hertz Corporation.
