My family travelled to California in December to visit my family. Even after 10 years in NYC, I still miss living in California. I want to blog about car rentals. Yep, car rentals and renting eco-friendly (relatively speaking) cars. We don't own a car, but we rent whenever we need a car. Whenever we can, we rent a green alternative kind of car. Which means slowly we are gaining personal experience with several kinds of car rentals in Los Angeles...and many options are available elsewhere.

We are willing to spend somewhat extra for a green car, particularly since you save money on gas. But sometimes the difference in cost is too much, so we just rent a regular car with good gas milage. But I always feel better when we can rent an actual green car. Below I describe our experiences with electric, hybrid and biodiesel cars.
