Hi Rachel,

Thank you for doing this homework! Can you please check out the rate at
Enterprise? Then, we need to find out how many members are going to be using
the van.

Hi All,

 

I have done some minimal research on a 15 passenger van that I would to
share with all of you. I have one quote from Nelson at K&K motors for a 15
passenger van. It is $680.00 for four days with unlimited mileage. If we
provide him with tax exempt information then the total would be $636 for 4
days with unlimited mileage. To rent the van we would have to provide a $100
security deposit which is refundable should we cancel up to a week in
advance of our rental date. We would also have to factor in gas. We are
looking at approximately 490 miles round trip so I estimate gas to be around
$100.00 perhaps more. As mentioned my husband has agreed to drive.

 

I would like to offer a little food for thought in the event we want to rent
a van. Instead of giving each attendee a stipend of $25 (as in prior years),
we simply apply that stipend to the transportation cost reducing each
attendees cost by $25. An example of my thought would breakdown as follows: 

 

Rental Cost: $636.00 (assuming we can use the NFB Ohio tax exempt number)

# Of members attending: 12

Per Member Cost before chapter contribution: $53

Proposed chapter contribution: $25 per attendee using the van

Total Cost Per Attendee: $28 

Please note this cost would vary depending on the actual number of attendees
who use the van.

 

In my example the chapters estimated contribution would be $400. This is
$300 for the van rental and $100 in estimated fuel expenses. Since Mike is
driving we will not need to include more money for hotel and food. 

 

My suggestion is not a motion on the floor just one possible option among
many. Renting a van means that we would not have to worry about the stress
of borrowing one. What do you all think? I am happy to get additional quotes
if the group thinks renting a van is a viable option. 

 

Fond Regards,
