University travelers may book hotels for a conference that are designated as the preferred location or room block by the conference organizer via the conference website. However, we encourage travelers to double-check rates via Anthony Travel or the Concur online booking tool, as conference rates are not always the best value.
Car Rentals
Car rentals must be booked through car rental agencies using the Concur online booking tool or with the University’s Travel Management Company, Anthony Travel. Note: A credit card in the driver’s name is required at time of pick up. The University offers a University Travel Card for anyone who requires a form of payment for University business and travel. For information on how to update your Concur profile with credit card information reference the Concur page, including Quick Start Guides.

Car Insurance
Travelers must NOT purchase collision and liability insurance for domestic travel from car rental agencies. Collision and liability (including deductibles) are covered by University insurance policies. Optional insurance coverage offered by vehicle rental companies is not reimbursable for domestic travel as these costs are already covered under the University's collision and liability insurance coverage.
