Thanks to Hertz, Electric Car Sharing Arrives in San Francisco

We’ve got a soft spot for rental cars, and we’re especially fond of those that can do their thing without a drop of gas. That’s why we were excited to hear about Hertz and their latest plans to invade San Francisco with green types of rental transportation.

They’re using that new Hertz On Demand thing to offer up electric car rentals through a partnership with the San Francisco Airport Marriott Waterfront. So if you need to take a quick spin to watch some airplanes or head into the city for business, the people at Hertz and Marriott have you covered.

The car sharing service offers up several slices of electric car fun, and it’s available on an hourly or daily basis depending on what you need. We also like that we can just hop the hotel shuttle after landing, and we can worry about picking up the rental car—and declining insurance—after setting into our room.

It’s not just limited to the airport either, as Hertz is the first car rental company to introduce rechargeable cars in downtown San Francisco as well. Over at the Mason Street location, the Nissan Leaf and EV Smart Car are currently available, and there’s even future plans to add the kind-of-electric kind-of-not Chevy Volt. So next time you’re in the City by the Bay, think about giving the green version of car sharing—electric style—a chance.
