Click on “Business Travel” and then below Florida Entity, select “Colleges and Universities” and, under Division; select “Florida International University”. The corporate discount numbers will automatically populate. Travelers are strongly encouraged to use only airport locations for trips involving air travel.

If you choose not to use the Reservation Portal and instead access the Avis website or Budget website, the toll-free line, or apps, please make sure to add FIU’s Business use AWD # B133407 or Budget’s Business use code T417711. For all leisure travel, FIU Departments must use Avis AWD# D203100 and Budget BCD# F002000.

To make 3rd party arrangements on behalf of an individual traveling with a PCard for the University, the Cardholder will be required to establish a “Billing ID,” to do so, Cardholders will:

Obtain a wizard number, complete the Avis billing agreement form and the Budget billing agreement form.
- Avis
- Budget

Be contacted by an Avis/Budget representative will contact you to complete the process and establish an individual billing account.

NOTES: This Billing ID must be kept secure and not shared with others.

Students cannot use the State Contract unless on official business travel for a department and the department has set up the student’s reservation on their billing pin # (that they receive when they complete the forms on links above). Only fulltime (40 hour work) staff can use the Leisure Travel benefit. 20 school/20work employees can’t use the Leisure Travel benefit.

Renters are strongly encouraged to make reservations as soon as a need for travel is identified.
Reservations should be made using theAvis/Budget reservation portal for the State of Florida:
RESERVATIONPORTAL: https://www.carrental.com/abgPartners/sof/
Reservations can be made using the Avis website, Avis mobile app, Budget website, or Budget mobile app but the State strongly recommends using the State Reservation Portal. Renters
should not use the “Pay Now” option on the retail websites or mobile apps as it voids many
of our contract provisions and is always non refundable, do no prepay. Renters should use the
appropriate Avis Worldwide Discount (AWD) or Budget Corporate Discount (BCD) code to
receive the contracted rates shown on the price sheet but if using retail websites or aps please
email floridahelp@avisbudget.com from your work email address to receive your Agency code
or our leisure code. Renters may not share their AWD or BCD code with family and friends.
