Rollins College has many faculty, staff and students whose responsibilities require traveling and properly operating automobiles and other motorized vehicles, which include but are not limited to automobiles, trucks, golf carts and all terrain vehicles. The purpose of this policy is to define the process by which individuals are approved to operate a vehicle in connection with their responsibilities, to address certain aspects of the operation of those vehicles, and to provide further information and direction as set forth herein. Failure to comply with the policy may result in the withdrawal of driving or use privileges, or other disciplinary action.
In many cases, the College’s automobile insurance policy will provide primary insurance coverage for College owned vehicles and rental vehicles used on College business, unless the damages result from an intentional act or gross misconduct on the part of the individual driving the vehicle. Please be advised that whether or not there is coverage under the College’s automobile insurance policy for any particular damage or loss will be determined by the language and meaning of the policy. The College cannot predict in advance whether any particular damage or loss will be covered, and all statements made herein are subject to this limitation.
