Vehicle Reservations

You can drive or sit back and relax with a driver for your next on or off-campus destination. Vehicles accommodate seating from one to 44. 

Daily Reservations and Driver Services

  • Vehicle rentals for less than 14 days.*
  • Reservations made through the Fleet Vehicle Reservation Form
    • Requires spend authorization from your Financial Officer.
  • Add a driver to enhance your trip.

Note: Effective Monday, March 4, failure to pick up a Fleet vehicle on the rental day or to cancel at least one business day prior to the scheduled rental date will result in a $50 no-show fee being billed to the associated University department. This change is being enacted to encourage cancellations to be made in a timely manner and ensure Fleet vehicles are available to as many potential customers as possible.
