After you have submitted an Online Reservation, you will receive a Confirmation Email with the reservation number and date/time of your scheduled pick up. The evening prior to your pick up date, the Motor Pool staff will also send you a Reminder Email simply for your information or if you happened to misplace your confirmation.
When you arrive at the Motor Pool, please be sure to keep your Driver’s License with you as the staff will check it during the dispatch process. At the time your vehicle is dispatched, you will receive a rental booklet with a dispatch sheet that will be used to fill out your return date & time information.

If you have any questions, please call (541) 737-4141.
