Increased rates coming for travel fees

USI has had a long relationship with Enterprise Rent-a-Car and Egencia online booking system (for airfares, etc.). Our pricing with Enterprise has remained the same for over a decade and our booking fees with Egencia have only increased by $1 in the same period. However, these travel partners have experienced cost increases that will result in the following price changes for USI.

Effective June 19, 2024, Egencia’s air transaction fee will increase from $8 to $10 a booking. Additionally, Egencia will introduce a $2 transaction fee on all hotel and car bookings.

Egencia continues to be a preferred travel partner because of its:  

• Access to the most comprehensive and competitive travel options, based on USI’s best practices.
• Preferred rates at more than 34,000 hotels across 170 countries.
• Up to 20% savings on top air routes negotiated with Egencia’s airline partners.

Effective July 1, 2024, Enterprise’s daily pricing will increase by $5 to $7 for intermediate and full-size vehicles and $20 for minivans.

Enterprise contracted rates for business rentals means:

• Rates apply to all U.S. locations and not just local branches.
• Full insurance coverage and unlimited miles are included.
• Young renter fee is waived for drivers* between the ages of 21 and 25.
• Customized web portal for business and leisure reservations.

Some perks for leisure rentals are available as well.

*All drivers for approved business travel, regardless of age, need to become an Authorized Driver with Risk Management.
