Hertz and Enterprise are putting one small green step forward in 2011 with the announcement that they will rent EVs. The rental car giants are set to add several EVs to their fleets, including the Volt, Leaf and iMev.
Offering customers the option to rent EVs is a move that I expect to be greeted with enthusiasm by the growing eco-conscious society. Read below to see Hertz’s and Enterprise’s plans to rent EVs along with details on their fleet sizes.

"Hertz plans to make 500 to 1,000 all-electric cars available in the U.S in 2011, while Enterprise said they will be receiving 500 EVs in January. Both companies have named the Nissan LEAF to be included in their new fleets while Hertz has also indicated that it will be purchasing an unknown quantity of the Mistubishi i-MiEV, Chevy Volt, and electric cars from Coda and Smart. The Hertz ConnectByHertz program will see the vehicles rented at a by-the-hour rate in a car sharing style arrangement."
