  2. Volunteers should rent 7 passenger vans from Enterprise or Hertz whenever possible.
  3. Volunteers who use their personal cars for the use of Special Olympics will not be reimbursed for gas or mileage.
  4. 12-passenger vans CANNOT be rented under any circumstances. No exceptions. This includes renting a 12-passenger van with the back seat removed.
  5. 15-passenger vans CANNOT be rented under any circumstances. No exceptions. This includes renting a 15-passenger van with the back seat removed.
