If you’re trying to save the earth but still can’t stand the thought of using public transportation on your next trip, give Enterprise car rental a call. Besides offering to pick you up, they’ll also sign you up for an electric vehicle. The rental car firm plans to offer up plenty of Nissan Leaf cars starting early next year.
By January 2011, the rental car company will have signed the papers on 500 of the eco-chic cars, and eventually they’ll thrown down the cash to get some other alternative vehicles from other manufacturers. We’re thinking that means the Chevy Volt, but we’ll have to wait and see.
Unfortunately the new cars will only be available in certain markets, so you might have to plan your trip accordingly to experience the new technology. Phoenix, Tucson, Knoxville, Nashville, San Diego, Los Angeles, Portland, and Seattle all seem to be getting the green light for these new cars.
Even though we won’t be declining the eight types of optional insurance until next year, preparations for the electric cars will begin this fall, as Enterprise will start installing charging stations at select locations. Let's just hope that we'll actually be able to afford to rent one when they finally become available.
