University vehicle
To register as a vehicle user, you must contact Main Reception to receive your direct EHU registration link – you should never register directly via Co-Wheels as this may incur charges.
The provision and use of vehicles form an essential part of the University business operations. All University vehicles are provided and managed by the Facilities Management (FM) Department on behalf of Edge Hill University.
The University has 6 low-emission vehicles available for staff to use for business purposes.
These vehicles include:
- 6 x BMW 118 Series
- These 6 vehicles are provided with individual fuel cards, therefore you will not incur personal expenditure if you use them to refuel the vehicle
Only registered users will be allowed to book vehicles. To register to use a university car follow the instructions below. The Co-Wheels registration takes 24 hours.
