Self-Service Car Share
On-campus students have two options for inexpensive auto rental services, available by the hour, day or longer. Self-service car share can help reduce the number of cars on campus, introduce sustainable transportation to the GCU community and provide a cost-effective alternative to car ownership.
GCU Golf Cart Shuttles
GCU Golf cart shuttles operate Monday through Friday from 7 am - 10 pm. Shuttles bring passengers from campus parking garages to popular locations such as student housing or classroom building around campus. Visit the golf carts' schedule and routes here.
UhaulCarShare
UhaulCarShare partners with GCU to offer a car sharing program on campus. GCU students, faculty and staff can drive self-service cars by the hour or day 24/7. Use UhaulCarShare for running errands, shuttling friends and family to the airport, shopping or taking quick road trips during any time of the day or night. UhaulCarShare is far more convenient and cost effective than owning a car.
