Note: When you are using a rental vehicle, you or your department are taking on the liability of the care of the vehicle. Any damages beyond the normal wear and tear of the vehicle found after the reservation will be at the responsibility of the department renting the vehicle. This can come in either a direct bill from Transportation Services or a $500 deductible payment from Risk Management, depending on the cost of the repair. It is the driver's responsibility to report this to their business office if Transportation Services contacts them regarding any damages found in the post-inspection process.
