Vehicle Requests

The OEAS vehicles are primarily for the use of OEAS personnel, then, availability permitting, for use by special request from other departments in the College of Sciences. Requests from outside the College should include endorsements from the Chair/Center Director/Dean of the respective ODU entity and be submitted directly to the Chair, OEAS.

The charge vehicle use is $60/day, with a "day" referring to over 4 hours. For use of a vehicle for 2-4 hours, the charge will be $30. For use less than 2 hours, there is no charge.

When requesting a vehicle, first check the OEAS vehicle schedule website for availability. Then, fax the Vehicle Request Form to Billy Giocondo (Marine Superintendent - bgiocond@odu.edu) or Laura Gibson (Research Vessel Mate - llgibson@odu.edu). We will reply, usually by email. Check the OEAS web vehicle schedule for posting of your reservation.

Please try to provide at least a week's notice for your requested date. Continue to use the vehicle checkout sheets in the mailroom, where the vehicle keys are located.
