Car Sharing
 
 
Connect by Hertz (a division of the Hertz Corporation) offers vehicles by the hour or by the day for low rates that include fuel, insurance, maintenance, and campus parking.  The OSU fleet currently consists of Toyota Camrys, Ford Escapes, Toyota Prius Hybrids and a Mini Cooper, many of which are EPA SmartWay certified for low emissions.  Fourteen vehicles spread out over six locations around campus (with an additional vehicle coming late-Fall Quarter, 2009) ensures that a vehicle will be close to you when you need it.
