Tips

Optional, charged to personal card

Some drivers accept Venmo or CashApp

Delays

Group members have up to 24 hours to close out rides

After 24 hours, rides automatically close

HopVans

students are to complete a 2-step process to be HopVan certified and drive the vehicles from the campus to the site, and then return to the South Garage

Students must complete an online training portion

Students also must schedule and complete a test drive

General rental costs are $20 per day plus $0.75 per mile driven

CSC Student Orgs are ONLY charged the mileage rate | $0.75 per mile driven

Can be seen as a more cost-effective approach to transportation

Major item to note is that many times HopVan charges do not show up in our system until about a month or two after its use

Charges are then shown on student orgs’ HopkinsGroups account
