U.S. Government Rental Car Agreement #5: Maximum Rates

April 2026

Pursuant to U.S. Government Rental Car Agreement #5, Section 4, "Rates,” the Government rate is the base rate designated by a rental car company as the official rate for U.S. Federal Government travelers.

The base rate is the cost of the rental. The Company must quote daily, weekly, and monthly base rates in whole dollar amounts for U.S. locations, and in local currency amounts for international locations.

The base rate may not include:

1. Any applicable taxes, state and local Government fees and surcharges, and airport administrative or concession fees.
2. Local vehicle license and registration fees.
3. Any other fee whatsoever remitted to a third party or airport authority.

The maximum rate is the highest base rate a company may charge for a particular type of vehicle in a particular location. Once maximum rates are published, a Company may not charge more than the maximum rate at any time for any reason unless approved by the DTMO.

DTMO establishes the following maximum rates. These rates are effective for a period of one-year beginning April 1, 2026.
