Q. Who do I use when I need to rent a vehicle?
A. Enterprise Rent-A-Car and National Car Rental are the preferred providers for Radford

locally (in Virginia, excluding
Northern VA) and National be utilized for all destination rentals (airport rentals
outside of VA).

A. All reservations should be made utilizing the Online Reservation System, which
can be accessed through the portal. Main campus employees are encouraged to call the local Enterprise branch
at (540) 731-3028 to make reservations that have special circumstances (rentals beginning
or ending on a weekend, rentals partially paid by the University and partially paid
by the renter, etc.) to ensure the lowest cost is extended to the University. Radford
University Carilion (RUC) employees should call their local Roanoke area branch for
rentals that have special circumstances. The Downtown Roanoke branch (540-343-8000)
is the closest to RUC but employees may choose another branch if it is more convenient.
