Central Pool Vehicles
Deakin University
The Supply Group are responsible for maintaining a fleet of Central Pool vehicles which are available for staff to hire for the purpose of business travel.
Central Pool vehicles should only be used when assigned or departmental pool vehicles are unavailable.
Staff using Central Pool vehicles should familiarise themselves with the policies, procedures and conditions governing the operation and use of University Motor Vehicles.
In the event of an accident, a copy of the Motor Vehicle Accident Procedure is located in the glove-box of all central pool vehicles.
Central Pool vehicles are located on all campuses and bookings can be made by completing and forwarding a Central Pool Vehicle Booking form to the respective booking location. These booking forms are available for bookings prior to 1 November, 2008 for Geelong and Waterfront campuses and prior to 1 January, 2009 for all other campuses.
For bookings after these respective dates, bookings MUST be made using the Webfleet Central Pool Online Booking System. To use this system, users must first complete and submit the On-Line Booking System Application Form and submit to the Fleet Management Unit, Logistics (G) for processing.
All central pool vehicles are provided with Shell fuel cards and e-TAGs. Fuel and toll charges are included in the hire charge rates.
Vehicles can only be refuelled at a Shell service station and the fuel is charged to the University on presentation of the fuel card. It is compulsory that an odometer reading is given at the time of refuelling. Vehicles must be returned with at least half a tank of fuel.
When travelling on toll roads, the e-TAG in the vehicle will beep each time a toll sensor is passed. The fees are automatically charged back to the University. If an e-TAG does not beep when passing toll sensors please advise your vehicle booking officer immediately.
