Most Eco-Friendly Car Hires

One of the problems when it comes to renting out cars is the niggling knowledge that the form of travel isn't exactly fantastic for the environment. Although there are worse ways to travel as well as better, cars aren't known for their eco-friendliness. Until now, that is.

Over the last few years, manufacturers have been turning their attention to creating new models of car that slash carbon footprints and other aspects of eco-unfriendliness in an attempt to both help salvage the environment and reduce car owners' guilt about these often-necessary vehicles.

So if you're heading on holiday any time soon and have dreams of hiring a car but have so far been too focussed on reducing your carbon footprint, you don't have to worry any more - plenty of car rental companies are adding a plethora of eco-friendly cars to their fleet that are perfect for getting you where you want to go, absolutely guilt free.

Top cars available from some companies include the Renault Twingo 1.5, which emits just 113g of CO2 per kilometre. There's also the iconic Smart Car, of which the Smart Fortwo emits just 103g/km! If you like your cars a little larger but still eco-friendly, the Volkswagen Polo keeps numbers low at 108g of CO2 per kilometre and the similarly impressive Peugeot 107 emits just 109g.

It's easy to see just how car rental companies are doing what they can in order to reduce emissions and let drivers head off on guilt-free holidays - and with so much to choose from, you won't need to worry about not getting your hands on a car that's perfect for you, whether you're travelling alone or heading on a bumper family holiday with the kids.

Hiring a car is an excellent way to get around, no matter where you are on holiday. If you're enjoying a rejuvenating trip through the countryside, a hired car can be an essential aspect of your holiday.

Even in the cities, hired cars have their uses. They can get you from place to place quickly and easily and add a whole new dimension to your experiences getting to know your new destination.

Now that it's possible to hire a vehicle that is eco-friendly as well as all of the other benefits you'll receive from renting, it's even easier to look into car rental guilt free, meaning all you have to do is enjoy your trip - and maybe purchase a good map!
