If you are in the Athens area, you must re-fill the vehicle at the UGA Automotive Shop located on Riverbend Rd- otherwise use any gas station that accepts Wright Express (WEX) cards. Your pin # for the fuel card is part of your UGA ID (the six digits after 810 or 811). If you notice that something is wrong with the vehicle, please tell the Administrative Specialist when you return the vehicle. You must return the keys to Administrative Specialist immediately after using the vehicle. NO SMOKING IN UGA VEHICLES. No animals in UGA vehicles. Exception is allowed for service dogs.
