Contract IDs and Billing Numbers
If your site uses EHI Rental Car Contracts, each user must be assigned a contract ID from EHI in order to see search results for car rentals. Contract IDs are unique for your company. EHI also provides billing numbers associated with contract IDs for managing billing. Billing numbers are not required.
You set up and assign contract IDs in the Admin Access section. Click the Admin Access tab (visible only to administrators) at the top of the Home page if it is not already open.
Setting Up Contract IDs
The user’s profile must contain at least one active contract ID. As a company administrator, you need to assign at least one contract ID to each user that will rent cars.
