With regard to rental of vehicles, the prohibited items list states: Commercial Vehicles General rule: Purchase cardholders shall not use their cards to purchase commercial vehicles. Sales, rental and lease of vehicles and classified requirements or other requirements that require written contract terms and conditions are prohibited. Commercial or GSA Vehicles, RENTAL/LEASE of (Without Drivers) general rule: Purchase cardholders are not authorized to use their purchase cards to rent/lease commercial or GSA vehicles. The most compelling reason for this restriction is due to liability. Using the purchase card does not provide for contract terms and conditions, thereby leaving the government vulnerable. The travel card basic contract provides for the liability issue with regard to rental cards, whereas the purchase card basic contract does not.
