22020.17 Use of Commercially Rented Vehicles

• When state pool cars are not available, it is permissible to rent vehicles available through commercial rental agencies. The most economical vehicle suitable for the purpose will be utilized as required under SAMState Administrative Manual 0756 and 4187.1 and DPADepartment of Personnel Administration (see CalHR) 599.627.

• The DGSDepartment of General Services enters into a service agreement to provide commercial automobile rentals at certain locations in California (SAMState Administrative Manual 4187.11.) Employees will have no choice as to the model of the vehicle assigned to them. This determination will be made by the vendor. State employees traveling to any of these locations will be required to use the contract vendor. Employees renting from other than the contract vendor in these locations may be personally liable. State employees should not secure rental car insurance, as the State of California is self-insured.
