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 - scroll down to Section 2.04 for Rental Cars). 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, check if anyone on the team can rent a zipcar.

Save the itemized receipt and give to Lindsay 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), so add this in when you calculate how much you ask your teammates to chip in.
