Booking a vehicle

Do you need transport in connection with a conference, meeting, field trip or study trip? The Faculty of Arts has seven official vehicles in Aarhus, and two official vehicles in Emdrup, which can all be used for such purposes in Denmark. These vehicles can only be used for official purposes in Denmark by staff and students at the Faculty of Arts. Drivers need a standard driving licence (category B).  

Follow the procedure below

1. Booking your vehicle

How to book a vehicle

You can book your vehicle using your Outlook calendar.:

1. Find your preferred vehicle's calendar and chek if it is available for the entire period you need it in. 
    (the vehicle can be found by "add calendar" and search "bil aarhus arts").

2. Select new meeting.

3. Select date and time.

4. Enter the driver's name and mobile number in the topic field 'Emne' (Just name one driver, even if there are several drivers).

5. State the purpose of the trip and the destination in the location field 'Sted'.

6. Send the meeting invitation to the vehicle

Please note

  • If you are a secretary and you are reserving the vehicle on behalf of colleagues and/or students, set up a meeting in the vehicle’s own Outlook calendar and invite the vehicle to the meeting. 
  • Please note that a vehicle can only be booked for up to one week at a time.
  • Remember to update your booking in Outlook if you have to make any changes.
  • If you make an all-day reservation, it is important that you change the vehicle’s status from available (‘ledig’) to reserved (‘optaget’).  

Special booking rules for students
Students cannot book vehicles themselves, and should contact the school secretariat, which is where the booking must be made (contact information). Students must complete and bring with them a driving permit which must be signed both by the student concerned and by the head of the school secretariat/deputy head of school (as authorised by the head of school). All drivers must complete a driving permit.

Download the driving permit.

You need to show the driving permit to the Maintenance Office in Aarhus when you pick up the keys.

Please note that you must complete a separate driving permit for each booking.
