# One pool fleet for the whole university, not one per department

For universities with vehicles spread across faculties and estates, staff claiming mileage for fieldwork and site visits, or a car-club contract on campus, Kerbway turns the vehicles you own or lease into one shared pool, booked through the Kerbway app.

Who it's for: Sustainability and travel plan managers, estates and facilities, procurement and finance.

## What Kerbway delivers

### From departmental vehicles to one pool

Cars and vans owned by individual departments often sit idle for most of the week. Make them bookable across the university from one Kerbway account, with rules on who can book what.

### Fieldwork without the mileage claims

Researchers and professional services staff book a pool vehicle instead of claiming mileage, and each booking is costed and allocated to the department, project or cost centre.

### An alternative to renting car-club access

If you pay a [car-club operator for access on campus](https://www.kerbway.com/compare/enterprise-car-club-alternative/), Kerbway puts the same self-service booking on vehicles the university controls.

### Carbon reporting that stands up

Miles moved off private cars, CO2 avoided and utilisation, ready for your carbon management plan and sustainability reporting.

### Driver checks for occasional drivers

Licence and ID checks are built into the app, including for staff who only drive a few times a year, with a record of every trip.

### Built for public procurement

Designed with public procurement in mind; we will note framework and consortium routes as we qualify for them.

## What you can count on

- One pool across faculties, campuses and estates.
- Fewer mileage claims, with every trip costed to the right budget.
- Carbon data for your sustainability reporting.
- The university keeps control of its vehicles and its data.

## The numbers we'll prove

We instrument every deployment from day one, so these become hard numbers from the pilot:

## Frequently asked questions

Can departments share vehicles fairly?

Yes. You set who can book which vehicles and when, and every booking is costed and allocated to the department that made it, so a shared vehicle does not turn into a budget argument.

We already have a car club on campus. What is the difference?

A car club gives you access to the operator’s vehicles. Kerbway puts the same booking and keyless access on vehicles the university controls. [See the two models side by side](https://www.kerbway.com/compare/enterprise-car-club-alternative/).

Do we need to own the vehicles?

No. Kerbway runs on vehicles the university owns or leases, from your existing supplier or through our vehicle-supply partners. Kerbway owns none of them and never takes over your fleet.

Can students use the vehicles?

Yes, if the university chooses to. Vehicles can be opened to students and staff for personal use outside working hours, with car-sharing insurance covering it. You set who can book, which vehicles and when.

What reporting do we get?

Utilisation, mileage, cost and CO2 by vehicle, department and campus, in one management dashboard.
