Policy for Renting and Driving Rental Company Vehicles on University Business
It is the responsibility of any employee renting and/or driving a rental company vehicle on university business to ensure that they are on the approved drivers list maintained by plant services prior to the date of the event.
Employees not on this list must not rent or drive a rental company vehicle for university business. A university approved driver has:
- An acceptable motor vehicle driving record (as defined elsewhere in this policy)
- Successfully completed the required training course
- Provided current driver license information
- Verified current personal automobile insurance with sufficient limits
Driver Approval Process
It is mandatory that all university drivers be properly certified for the specific style of vehicle being rented.
The university approved driver certification process can take up to five business days for processing driving records and insurance authorization. Plan ahead so that you can be approved in time for your deadline.
