As part of their social responsibilities, Richmond CA car rental companies are now offering green car rentals all over Richmond CA. Making green cars available help encourage customers to use more energy-efficient cars when they travel or for other transportation purposes. Most of the major car rental companies now offer green cars as part of their fleet, so it won’t be difficult to find green cars for rent anymore.

However, there are a few reminders you need to know:

First, not all Richmond CA companies offer the same green car rental choices in all of their locations. Some cars may be available only in selected offices. So before you head over to any of Richmond CA car rental locations, give them a call first to check if they have what you’re looking for.

When choosing among the available choices, check out the MPGe ratings of the cars. This refers to “miles per gallon equivalent”, a new measurement unit that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency uses recently established to rate the efficiency of a car that’s running on electricity instead of gas. This is computed by converting the amount of energy that can be stored in a gallon of gas to the amount that can be stored in a single kilowatt of electricity. It is the official measurement used when it comes to green cars.

Best Richmond CA green car rentals you may be able to find include the Ford Escape, the Toyota Prius, and the Nissan Ultima. Some less common choices that you may find in select locations include the Nissan Leaf, which has an MPGe of 99, and the Chevrolet Volt with 93 MPGe.

Renting green cars will be more expensive, but their fuel efficiency can make up for that. Some companies may also offer special deals for Richmond CA green car rentals.
