To make reservations, use the corporate contract number found on the WSU Enterprise / National Rent-A-Car Program Summary. If you do not book using the contract number you will not be covered and will be personally liable for any claims.  When making an airline reservation, the travel agent can also make the reservation using the state contract rate for you and include this on your airline ticket.
