Hybrid rental cars

Anyone know where in Albuquerque we could rent a Prius or other hybrid for a week? Thanks!



Hybrid rental cars


I think I%26#39;ve seen ads for Hertz that mention hybrids. Since they rent primarily Fords, chances are that it will be something like an Escape or Explorer hybrid, but I%26#39;m just guessing here.

Budget rents Altima and Prius hybrids...not sure if they have them in ABQ.




Here is a website with general information about ';Hybrid'; or ';Green'; rentals.

FYI: Both of our Toyota dealers rent Prius Hybrids in Albuquerque.





';Toyota Rent a Car';





American Toyota, 5995 Alameda Ave. NE, Alb. NM.



(505) 823-4440 (Alameda Ave. is in the north end of the city...dealership at Alameda/I-25.





Karl Malone Toyota, 10401 Copper Ave. NE, Alb. NM.



1-800-964-6145. Address is in far, SE end of Alb.





I do not know about their prices vis-a-vis the national rental companies, nor do I know their policies about airport pickups, etc.





Apparently the three largest rental companies with hybrids, are currently Enterprise, National, and Alamo. Enterprise, I recently read, has doubled it%26#39;s available fleet of hybrids nation-wide in the past year. Enterprise (I believe) is Albuquerque%26#39;s largest renter. From what I could see in my brief searches, all the major rental car companies offer some hybrids, or other ';green cars,'; but the numbers of, and types of each, vary widely.





After the Toyota dealers, Enterprise would probably be your best choice here in Albuquerque.





Enterprise: 1-800-325-8007. Good hunting!




Thank you all so much. A hybrid would make our trip even more awesome! Gonna make some phone calls...
