The main Enterprise Rent-A-Car branch in Indianapolis is located at:
In addition to these locations there are around 100 total locations throughout the state. Enterprise Rent-A-Car is privately owned and the Indiana University account will be honored at all locations throughout the country.
The Enterprise Rent-A-Car office located at 1601 North College (North Branch) is open during the following hours:
The Bloomington South Branch office is open during the following hours:
All rental vehicles need to be picked up during the above office hours and rental charges begin upon the traveler taking possession of the vehicle's keys.
If you need to leave for a trip prior to our office opening in the morning you are allowed to pickup the rental vehicle the night before your trip. If you pick your vehicle up between the hours of 4:00 pm until close of business we will not start the rental charges until your trip begins the following morning. We refer to this service feature as a “Jump Start” as we are starting the rental charges at a time later than we you take possession of the rental vehicle.
For example: A traveler wants a vehicle at 4:00am on a Tuesday morning. This traveler can pickup the rental on Monday evening between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm and we will not begin the rental charges until 5:00 am the following morning.
If you need to return a rental vehicle after our office is closed, there is a drop box for the keys at the Bloomington North Branch only. DO NOT lock the keys in the vehicle as we only carry one set of keys per vehicle.
All rental charges begin immediately when the renter takes possession of the rental vehicle. The only exception is if we provided a “Jump Start” service and the traveler picked the rental up at the close of business for an early morning (prior to our branch opening) departure. Rental charges stop at the time the vehicle is returned to our office and we are given the keys back. If a renter returns while we are closed the charges stop at the time they dropped the vehicle off to us. Each rental day is based on 24 hour clock. If a renter starts their rental at 9am they have until 9am the following day before an additional rental day charge would begin.
Any University traveler must be approved by Office of Insurance, Loss Control & Claims in order to rent a vehicle for University purposes. To be approved each traveler must fill out the Authorization Form for Motor Vehicle Records Check online via IU’s Office of Insurance, Loss Control & Claims website.
University policy requires that, as a condition for driving any vehicle on university business, drivers will give Indiana University authorization to conduct a Motor Vehicle Record (MRV) check and provide all necessary information for the check. Driving on university business will be prohibited if authorization to conduct a MVR check is not given.
Renters have 2 options for parking rental vehicles on campus. Indiana University has requested that travelers use their own campus parking permits and place them in the rental vehicle. If a traveler does not have a personal permit the University has provided Enterprise Rent-A-Car with hang tags to distribute for campus parking. These tags are available at the main campus locations only.
Travelers will be responsible for any parking tickets or moving violations they receive while traveling in rental vehicles.
All reservations must be made through the University’s travel website. As travelers reserve through the travel website you will be issued a “Trip #” and be directed to the Enterprise Rent-A-Car website. You will then have to select if your trip is going to originate in Indiana or outside Indiana. Once on the Enterprise Rent-A-Car website you can select which location you wish to rent at, your dates and times of travel, and the size vehicle you wish to rent.
** Please make sure all reservations are made under the name of the individual that will actually be picking up the rental vehicle.
** Please be sure to select a specific time at which you will be picking up the rental vehicle. If your pickup time needs to be changed, feel free to call the rental office directly or change your pickup time online.
If it is a regular business day and you've submitted your request between the hours of 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. you will receive an email notification containing the Enterprise link within two hours. If it is a regular business day and you have submitted your request after 4:00 p.m. your request will be processed by 9:00 a.m. the following business day.
It is up to the traveler or travel arranger to forward reservation and/or cancellation information to the fiscal officer of the account being used to charge the rental vehicle. Enterprise-Rent-A-Car personnel do not have access to University systems and therefore cannot determine the fiscal officer assigned to University accounts in which to transmit reservation information.

No, the optional Loss Damage Waiver is included in the rate program and should be declined. Accepting the Loss Damange Waiver Option would simply duplicate the negotiated program benefits. The Loss Damage Waiver is included on business and personal rentals. The Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) eliminates the renter from responsibility when the care is involved in either a collision or comprehensive incident (theft, fire, vandalism, damage to vehicle as a result of hitting another car/object).
When traveling in the United States, the University will not reimburse you for any optional coverages, such as the Loss Damage Waiver, Supplemental Liability Insurance, Personal Effects Coverage and Personal Accident Insurance.
