Vehicle Rentals

The TCBES program has two 4wd vehicles available for use by students, staff, and faculty (you must have a UH or RCUH affiliation). A Toyota 4Runner and a Chevrolet Suburban. The vehicles may only be rented for school or research-related purposes.

Note: Suburban rentals relating to research in Kohala will be prioritized over non-Kohala based research rentals. Kohala-based Suburban rentals may be reserved up to six months out. Non-Kohala-based rentals may only be reserved within 30 days of the present date.

Drivers of TCBES vehicles must have taken and passed the UH Hilo van safety training - no exceptions. For vehicle reservations or to return completed forms, please contact tcbescar@hawaii.edu.

If the TCBES vehicle is unavailable, the LOHE lab has two vehicles that can be occasionally rented out, the Toyota Tundra and the Dodge Ram. Please contact Ann Tanimoto-Johnson at annmt@hawaii.edu to ask about availability and procedures.
