Our GSA Fleet Short-Term Rental program provides federal agencies with fast, affordable access to vehicle and equipment rentals for temporary needs—excluding travel.
Renting is simple. Log in to str.gsa.gov to:
You can also access your account details and rental history anytime.
Below are examples of vehicles and equipment available through the STR program.
All STR rentals include your unlimited drivers and no ownership or maintenance costs. Charges appear as a separate line item on your GSA monthly bill. Most rentals are tax exempt, and Government Administrative Rate Supplements, or GARS, do not apply in most states.
We add a fee to each request, based on the total award amount. In addition, starting in FY26, a 2% fee will apply to supplemental costs like tolls or damage. Fuel costs are fully passed through. See the table below for STR fees.
| STR award amount | Fee |
|---|---|
| Less than $851 | $50 |
| $851-$10,000 | 6% |
| $10,001-$25,000 | 5% |
| $25,001-$50,000 | 4% |
| More than $50,000 | 2% |

Traveler reimbursement is based on the location of the work activities and not the accommodations, unless lodging is not available at the work activity, then the agency may authorize the rate where lodging is obtained.
Unless otherwise specified, the per diem locality is defined as "all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city, including independent entities located within those boundaries."
Per diem localities with county definitions shall include"all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city as well as the boundaries of the listed counties, including independent entities located within the boundaries of the key city and the listed counties (unless otherwise listed separately)."
When a military installation or Government - related facility(whether or not specifically named) is located partially within more than one city or county boundary, the applicable per diem rate for the entire installation or facility is the higher of the rates which apply to the cities and / or counties, even though part(s) of such activities may be located outside the defined per diem locality.
