The College offers rentals (and, if needed, drivers) for student activities (not for student personal use), cultural events, campus visits, or College business. All vehicles are rented on a daily basis and will not be pro-rated for partial-day usage.
Requested time for a vehicle is the time scheduled. Should you change times at the last minute, we cannot guarantee that a vehicle will be available.
It is important, too, that you return all vehicles on time. Our fleet is limited and vehicles need to be cleaned and readied for the next renter. Please make sure that you replace the gas that you use, prior to returning the vehicle.
Please return vehicles refueled to the same amount of gas as when you departed campus. If refueling is not done, you will be charged the refill cost, and $25 service fee.
Outside rentals
If necessary, we can also rent vehicles from outside agencies. Departments will be charged at the rate we are assessed. An additional fee will be added for driver time if we pick-up and return the vehicle.
Vehicle Rentals and Field Trips
Vehicle rental and field trips are for Gettysburg College business only.
Please return vehicles refueled to the same amount of gas as when you departed campus. If refueling is not done, you will be charged the refill cost, and service fee.
