getting the green side of everything
it's a great idea to let people experience the feel of riding a hybrid car by letting it available for rent. i think it's a best way to commercialize the car.~<a href="http://www.car-stuff.com/gas-saving-products.html">hydrogen gas saver</a>

Small success story at Enterprise
My wife and I rented a Prius from Enterprise in Arizona for a 3-day vacation. Avis, Budget, National, Alamo all did not have any hybrids in Arizona. Hertz had 3 Prius's but they were at the Airport only, which has a hefty additional tax. At Enterprise, the hybrids are listed under "Exotic Cars", so there needs to be some education. At the local branch, the staff worked with me to reserve a hybrid specifically. (Company policy allows you to only reserve within a group.) For the trip, even though the cost was $55/day and $18 more than the cheapest and smallest alternative, we saved a few dollars and polluted less, through gas efficiency. The total trip of 800 miles used less than 18 gallons of gas, at an estimated 53 mpg. My advice to all: keep pushing! Ask for a hybrid. Let demand drive the market.

Renting a Hybrid still at its infancy level...
We are talking about 0.5% of the -entire- fleet of the major rental companies mentioned above. I guess it is indeed a challenge to get one and the rental companies have no incentive on making you a deal to rent one. Great! With all this demand for Hybrids and fuel efficient cars, may be I can get a good deal renting a Hummer next time I travel.
