  • FY26 Fleet Rates
  • Our rental rates calculator provides estimates for NAU, Budget, and Enterprise rentals.
  • All NAU rental vehicles include a fuel card. Use of these cards are generally limited to fuel and towing. As noted above, Fleet Services charges mileage, so proper use of the fuel cards will not be billed for rentals. Exception: any charges not approved by Fleet Services will be added to the rental bill.

  • If Fleet Services is unable to fulfill a vehicle request, an outside vendor such as Enterprise may be utilized. Fleet Services will still process and bill these rentals. We are often able to have these vehicles delivered to Fleet Services. However, during our busiest times, overwhelming requests and limited parking make delivery difficult, so we may require pick-up at the vendor.
  • For departure locations outside of NAU campus, Enterprise will be utilized. Customers must provide the physical address of the Enterprise departure and return locations. Enterprise locations available at Enterprise U.S. Locations
  • Our rental rates calculator provides estimates for NAU, Budget, and Enterprise rentals.
  • Outside vendor vehicles do not include a fuel card – fuel must be paid for with a P-Card or through reimbursement within your department.
  • Outside vendor vehicles must be returned with a full tank of fuel due to high refuel charges from the vendors.
