# How to Create a Corporate Rental Agreement

## How to set the agreement type to a Corporate Agreement

A corporate rental agreement links the rental to a company profile, so the renter is one of the company's employees and the company's settings apply to the rental. The company must already have a profile in RentWorks+. To set one up, see [How to Create a Company Profile](https://help.rentworksplus.com/kb/how-to-create-a-company-profile?hsLang=en). 

##### Start a new rental agreement

**1.** Log in to RentWorks+. From the sidebar, select **Rental Agreements**.

![corporate-ra-01](https://help.rentworksplus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20Images/How%20to%20Create%20a%20Corporate%20Rental%20Agreement/corporate-ra-01.png?width=240&height=361&name=corporate-ra-01.png)

**2.** Click **Create a Walkup** to open a new rental agreement.

![corporate-ra-02](https://help.rentworksplus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20Images/How%20to%20Create%20a%20Corporate%20Rental%20Agreement/corporate-ra-02.png?width=670&height=111&name=corporate-ra-02.png)

**Note:** You can also start a corporate rental from the company's profile. Go to **Companies**, open the company, and click **New Rental**. The new agreement opens with **Corporate Account** and the company already selected.

##### Set the agreement type

**3.** At the top of the form, click **Agreement Type** and select **Corporate Account**. New rental agreements start as **Individual**.

![corporate-ra-03](https://help.rentworksplus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20Images/How%20to%20Create%20a%20Corporate%20Rental%20Agreement/corporate-ra-03.png?width=670&height=177&name=corporate-ra-03.png)

**4.** **Agreement Type** now shows **Corporate Account**. The form changes for a corporate rental: a required **Company** field is added under **Rental Details**, and the renter section becomes **Company Employee Selection**.

![corporate-ra-04](https://help.rentworksplus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20Images/How%20to%20Create%20a%20Corporate%20Rental%20Agreement/corporate-ra-04.png?width=670&height=115&name=corporate-ra-04.png)

##### Select the company

**5.** In the **Rental Details** panel, find the **Company** field. It is required for a corporate rental agreement.

![corporate-ra-05](https://help.rentworksplus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20Images/How%20to%20Create%20a%20Corporate%20Rental%20Agreement/corporate-ra-05.png?width=670&height=804&name=corporate-ra-05.png)

**6.** Click **Company** and type at least 2 characters of the company name or Corp ID, then select the company from the results.

![corporate-ra-06](https://help.rentworksplus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20Images/How%20to%20Create%20a%20Corporate%20Rental%20Agreement/corporate-ra-06.png?width=670&height=408&name=corporate-ra-06.png)

**7.** The company's details appear under the field. Tags show settings from the company profile, such as **Tax Exempt**, **PO Required**, and **Direct Bill**. If the company requires a PO, the **PO #** field becomes required. Enter the company's PO number for this rental as an example.

![corporate-ra-07](https://help.rentworksplus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20Images/How%20to%20Create%20a%20Corporate%20Rental%20Agreement/corporate-ra-07.png?width=670&height=995&name=corporate-ra-07.png)

**Note:** If the company does not appear in the search, it may not have a company profile yet. See [How to Create a Company Profile](https://help.rentworksplus.com/kb/how-to-create-a-company-profile?hsLang=en).

##### Select the company employee

**8.** In the **Company Employee Selection** section, click **Search Employee**. The employee you select is the primary renter.

![corporate-ra-08](https://help.rentworksplus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20Images/How%20to%20Create%20a%20Corporate%20Rental%20Agreement/corporate-ra-08.png?width=670&height=315&name=corporate-ra-08.png)

**9.** Search by **First Name**, **Last Name**, or **Phone** (at least 2 characters). Only employees of the selected company are listed. Click the employee to select them.

![corporate-ra-09](https://help.rentworksplus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20Images/How%20to%20Create%20a%20Corporate%20Rental%20Agreement/corporate-ra-09.png?width=670&height=398&name=corporate-ra-09.png)

**Note:** If the renter is not listed, they are not linked to the company yet. Click **Link existing customer** to link a customer who is already in RentWorks+, or **Add new employee** to create a new customer as an employee of the company.

**10.** The employee now appears in the section with the **Employee** tag, their email, phone number, and driver's license. Finish the rest of the agreement as usual (vehicle class, vehicle, rate, and any required fields listed in the **Summary**), then click **Create Agreement**.

![corporate-ra-10](https://help.rentworksplus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20Images/How%20to%20Create%20a%20Corporate%20Rental%20Agreement/corporate-ra-10.png?width=670&height=243&name=corporate-ra-10.png)

##### **Individual and corporate rentals compared**

Individual and corporate rental agreements use the same form. Choosing **Corporate Account** changes the following:

|  | Individual | Corporate Account |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Renter** | Any customer, found or added in **Renter & Additional Driver Selection**. Some fields like the phone number MUST be unique. | An employee of the selected company, found or added in **Company Employee Selection**. Company fields may be attached to employees, meaning phone numbers can be re-used. |
| **Company** | Not used. | Required. The rental is linked to the company and counts toward its rental history and revenue. |
| **PO #** | Optional. | Required when the company profile is set to **PO Required**. |
| **Company rules** | Standard rental rules apply. | Corporate rules on the company profile, such as a minimum driver age, are shown with the company and apply to the rental. |
| **Billing and defaults** | Set on the agreement for each rental. | Settings on the company profile, such as **Direct Bill**, **Tax Exempt**, negotiated rate codes, discounts, and rental preferences, apply to rentals booked under the company. |

**Note:** To change the billing, rates, or rental defaults for a company, update its profile. See [How to Create a Company Profile](https://help.rentworksplus.com/kb/how-to-create-a-company-profile?hsLang=en).
