Uber Safety Tips

Safety tips:

• Always use your seat belt. 
• Observe the situation prior to accepting a ride. If the situation doesn’t look right, walk away and make other arrangements. 
• Confirm the driver’s name and license plate before getting into the ride.
• If your Uber doesn’t show up, cancel the ride and call another Uber. 
• Students should also review Uber’s Safety Tips, Uber's Ride with Confidence Tools, and Public Safety’s Safety Tips for more information. We advise students to have these safety tips accessible to them whenever they travel.

Zipcar

Zipcars give students who don’t have access to a private car the opportunity for excursions.

Zipcars are available at Holy Cross for students and general public to rent. The cars are parked in the student lot behind the Hogan Campus Center. To be eligible to rent a car, drivers need to apply for a Zip Card and pay an annual fee. Rental costs are $7.50-8.50 an hour depending on the vehicle (including gas, insurance, and parking fees). Each car will have a fuel card for the purpose of refueling as needed (all costs incurred by Zipcar).
