** Print out the confirmation email for your membership and bring to the first tournament with your money
** If the captain contacts Treasurer Lindsey Gilman (lgilman@mit.edu) *3 weeks in advance* for new players who need memberships, she can get checks cut for the players.  Otherwise you should pay out of pocket and get reimbursed by Lindsey. For reimbursement, make sure to turn in a copy of the membership confirmation to Lindsey and a copy of the check.

*Instructions for Renting a Car (or 7-passenger minivan)*


Club sports travel is considered official MIT business.  Therefore, we can take advantage of MIT rental agreements and discounts with Avis and Budget.  Drivers must be at least 18 years old (no surcharge for drivers between 18 and 24 on the MIT account).  Do not purchase the optional Loss Damage Waiver, since MIT already has collision insurance covered in their rental agreement (detailed [here|https://controllers.mit.edu/index.php/site/insurance/policies_procedures/automobile/automobile_rentals]).  If you need the car before these locations open in the morning, you can either get the car the day before or call the location to ask about renting after hours.  Alternatively, you can ask the tournament director for a late start, or check if anyone on the team is a zipcar member and can rent a zipcar (which can be reserved starting at any time of day, but they cost \~$85 and transport up to 5 people).

Save the itemized receipt and give to the Treasurer (Lindsey Gilman) for reimbursement.  Note that the club generally does not reimburse for gas and tolls, so you may want to ask the team to chip in for those items.  You will have to refill the gas tank of the rental car before returning it.  Keep in mind that if you use the electronic toll pass provided in the rental car, you might be charged a convenience fee ($2.50 for Avis, free for zipcar), so add this in when you calculate how much you ask your teammates to chip in.
