Services and Policies:

  • Rental vehicles for any Capstone travel in Utah.
  • Rental cost will be charged to your team account
  • Special training is required for 12-passenger vans and box trucks.

NOTE: you do not make arrangements to rent a vehicle directly with the Vehicle Rental office. You must work with the Capstone office to make these arrangements.

NOTE: Special training is required to rent 12-passenger vans or box trucks, and to tow tandem-axle trailers. You can receive the training by going to training.byu.edu , selecting "Catalog" followed by "Risk Management and Safety", and choosing "CMV Training Program" (for box trucks or tandem-axle trailers) or "Van Driving" (on the third page, for vans) and following the instructions there. Please allow time to complete the training before you need to rent the vehicle.

If the car is needed before the Vehicle Rental office opens in the morning at 7 AM, you may pick it up before 4:30 PM the day before. You can also drop off the vehicle after 5:00 pm if needed –– park in “A” lot 29 on the south side of 900 North and leave the key in the drop box on fence.

Procedure for renting a vehicle

NOTE: In order to have access to the online Capstone Purchasing system, you must score at least 90% on the Capstone Purchasing Exam available on Learning Suite. You can take the exam as many times as you would like.
We encourage every member of every team to take the Capstone Purchasing Exam.
