VEHICLE RENTAL

To reserve a vehicle online, log into your Cyberbear account and click on the U-Drive tab.   Call a Transportation Services' dispatcher for assistance at 243-2024 or contact us via email if you have questions. Cancellations need to be made twenty-four (24) hours prior to scheduled pickup to avoid a one day use charge.

Please note that the online reservation must include the driver’s entire name, and the 790 number. All individuals must be authorized by the department or renting entity to drive the vehicle. If an individual's name does not appear in the Cyberbear U-Drive list they are not authorized to drive the vehicle unless authorized by Risk Management. When renting a vehicle with an occupancy rating greater than 7, the driver(s) must be large vehicle certified, or must have proof of a current CDL with a passenger endorsement.

Entities that are not represented by the State Risk Management and Tort Defense Division must provide Transportation Services with proof of third party liability coverage on an annual basis.
