The ANU agreement with Flexicar (Hertz Australia) to provide car sharing services to The ANU commenced 16 April 2021.
Flexicar are committed to the relationships ANU has established in the ACT market and are providing the same amount of vehicles, at the same locations, across the university campus; their service coverage also extends nationally.
Initial Flexicar membership activation can take up to 48 hours due to 3rd-party check on licence numbers.
Please see Instructions for Registering a new ANU Account with Flexicar detailed below. You must request Unique Email Invitation Link to access ANU Rates.
ANU Parking and other council parking fees still apply – you must pay for your own public parking where signed – Flexicar vehicles each have a parking permit for their original pod location only; see ‘Fleet on Campus’ section below.
|
Registering with Flexicar for Business/Corporate Use
For business/corporate use of Flexicar, you must apply via email to receive unique invitation link to join:
- Email contracts.office@anu.edu.au in order to generate your unique link to ANU Business Rates, providing:
a. full.name@anu.edu.au email address for the new Driver;
b. GLC (for Flexicar Travel Expense); and
c. ≥220.2 Delegate Approval (“≥$10k Services”) [e.g. email/signature below/attached to request]
d. Business Unit/Division (typically provided in your email signature)
- UPCO will then verify and Generate a Unique Email Invitation Link for you to sign up to the ANU Business Rate Plan.
a. Once activated, you will have an ANU ‘Billing/Payment Method’ assigned to your account, which you can use for business purposes.
b. Not receiving email notifications? Please check/refresh your Junk Folder
If you have linked an ANU Purchase Card as “Payment Method” it must be removed immediately. ANU Purchase Cards are NOT approved for use with Flexicar as there is centralised, consolidated invoicing of all Flexicar Business Travel expenses; Purchase Card receipting is therefore an unnecessary and costly overhead for the ANU under these contract arrangements.
Registering with Flexicar for Personal Use
Personal use of Flexicar will require you to sign up using your own payment methods (i.e. bank cards); you must be already registered under ANU Business Rate Plan or you will not receive special ANU Rates.
If you are already registered as a Driver on the ANU Business Rate Plan, you will require separate additional ≥220.2 Delegate Approval (“≥$10k Services”) in order to add your own ‘Personal Payment Method’:
- In the Flexicar App, you can add your card details (for personal use) under ‘Payment Methods’ in the main menu;
- When prompted to choose a plan you will need to email contracts.office@anu.edu.au
a. The ANU Staff Rate Plan is not publicly listed; UPCO and Flexicar must manually verify and link you to the rates;
b.Further Delegate Approval required in order to link Personal Payment Method (while retaining ANU Payment Method).
Alternatively, public commercial plans are available via Flexicar directly, under Flexicar’s terms and conditions; these are not linked to ANU contract arrangements or special rates.
Students without an appropriate GLC for Travel Expenses and/or ANU Delegate to approve, are recommended to sign-up to commercial rate plans; see FAQs.
Considerations when Registering
Please be aware that some sign-ups may trigger an email from Flexicar asking for personal information; this may include:
- A colour copy of the front and back of your driver's licence
- A photo of you holding up your driver's licence
- If you have an International licence, you will need to send a copy of your passport as well
- If the address on your licence differs to the address on your application, please send a copy to verify your current address. A utility bill or bank statement will suffice.
This is required by a third-party (such as the Police) to undertake licence checks.
Please follow all emailed information (links and steps to activate your account); you can call Flexicar Member Care Team any time to follow-up any requirements/status to activate.
If you require any assistance please call Flexicar Member Care Team on 1300 36 37 80 or email info@flexicar.com.au. Please also review FAQs.
Change of Work Area or GLC
If you are moving to a new area of business at ANU, or if your area of business is updating General Ledger Codes:
You must notify ANU UPCO of any changes to your Driver GLC, or employment status at ANU, via contracts.office@anu.edu.au
