Green Car Rental is now available from National Car Hire...but what is so green about National Car Hire? We all know that many companies claim they are 'green' when they often aren't!
We went to find out at the massive World Travel Market held at Excel in London this week. In addition to numerous green hotels (which we will write about in due course), we found National Car Rental showcasing their multinational green initiatives in response to demand for cost-effective, environmentally friendly travel solutions. National were proud to announce that they were the first green car rental brand in the UK to add information on average CO2 emissions for each car group.
Were we impressed with this? Well, it is a definitely a positive step in the right direction and we would like transparency to be offered from all car rental companies in terms of what average CO2 emissions are for each car group.
The only thing they might do to further improve their green credentials (but this will take time) is introduce all electric cars which have zero emissions as long as your electricity supplier is also green. So make sure you sign up to www.good-energy.co.uk or www.ecotricity.co.uk if you are serious about reducing your emissions immediately.
So if you don't already own the latest Lighting or GWiz All-Electric car and want to use a green car rental company, go with a high mpg green rental car such as those offered through National Car Hire. For information, the best cars are A or B Rated in terms of emissions. National have a full list of what they have available on their website and they have some excellent deals to. To take a look or enquire, we have enclosed a direct link below:
