With the growing number of hybrid vehicles on the road, one might assume that all car rental agencies are now offering hybrids, but while many of the biggest ones are, they’re not always available at all locations. Another unfortunate reality is that renting a hybrid will often cost you more per day, most likely because car rental agencies aren’t getting the same deals on buying hybrids as they are on their other vehicles. If you can’t afford the increase, don’t worry. You can almost always find a vehicle to rent (at any agency) with good fuel efficiency and that’ll help reduce your impact, although when it comes to emissions a hybrid will always be a better choice. Or, better yet, plan a trip where you can use public transportation, which will save you money and be the most eco-friendly option of all.
