A new form of transportation in Blacksburg offers Tech students a little freedom while saving the environment.

It's called U Car Share.

The program, which is basically a car rental service, was developed by U-Haul.

It's different from traditional rentals because you can get a car by the hour and you only have to be 18 with a good driving record.

The six vehicles are parked in several different locations around campus.

You have to register online as a member and then reserve a vehicle.

Hourly rates start at $4.95 plus a mileage rate.

They aren't just for students.

Anyone in the area can rent the cars.

They can be used for overnight and weekend trips too.
