When you leave home for vacation, it’s getting easier bring your
green car ethics with you. Once focused more on southwestern states, the green
car rental concept has moved a bit north. The (Oregon)
Albany Democrat-Herald reports that
Enterprise Rent-A-Car now has five
biodiesel vehicles in its Portland fleet. The cars are five
Jeep Liberties that will run on B20. The Liberties still use 80-percent standard
diesel, so they’re not as impressive as the fleet of
Bio-Beetle New Beetles (and other car models) available in Los Angeles and on Maui. Bio-Beetles’ New Beetles run on B100 and are part of Bio-Beetles’ eco-conscious business practices. Other eco-rental agencies include
Fox Rent-a-Car, which offers
hybrids at some airports in California, Nevada and Arizona and
EV Rental, also located in those three states. If you don’t have a green car at home, rentals might be the perfect way to test out whether a
biodiesel or
hybrid car is right for you.
