Reservation of University Cars
The car is available on a first come first serve basis. Bumping can be done only when twenty-four (24) hour notice is given to the person being bumped and significantly more miles are going to be driven (twenty-five or more miles). If the car is reserved, a second person can sign as an "alternate". The "alternate" has first priority if original reservation is canceled.
Cancellation of Reservation
If the car has been reserved and is not going to be needed the requestor should remove the name from the book and notify backup of availability of the car. If the car is not used within one hour of sign up time, it becomes available to first backup or other users.
Keys to University Car
One set of keys are kept in the Business Office and another set is kept with Facilities. If access to a key is needed outside of normal business hours (8-5) the user can make special arrangements to sign out keys on day early. If the car is returned after business hours, key should be put in the drop box outside of the Business Office.
Fuel and Other Normal Maintenance
If the fuel is at 1/3 or less, a fill up is required before returning the car.

The University Voyager Credit Card should be used. If purchase cannot be made
using the credit card, the user may be reimbursed by the motor pool in Bloomington
after presenting the ORIGINAL receipts to the Business Office in Columbus. Personal
items are to be removed from the car when the car is returned. When using the
Voyager Credit Card, the 6 digit number next to the word vehicle is the
authorization number. There is also a customer assistance 800 number on the reverse
side of the Voyager Card.
Emergencies
A card is kept in the glove compartment telling the driver whom to call in case of
an accident or other emergency. Insurance information is also on the card.
