The advantage to signing up through this group, which requires your @oberlin.edu email address, is that you won't have to separately submit a picture of your student ID. There may also be student-only specials in the future.


Driving Qualifications

Drivers between 18 and 22 years old must meet the following requirements, which are described in the Terms of Service:

This basically means you need a completely clean driving record - no accidents, speeding tickets, etc. - and must have had your license for at least two years. We order a copy of your Motor Vehicle Record from the state DMV where your license was issued. At this time we can only accept licenses from US states (not territories) and some Canadian provinces.


Student ID

Oberlin EV Carshare is funded by the City of Oberlin and Oberlin College and therefore signing up is limited to Oberlin residents and students at Oberlin College & Conservatory. If you don't sign up using your @oberlin.edu email address we will ask you to send a photo of your student ID.
