perhaps also quite important... if the rental car company only has gas guzzlers, express your preference for smaller vehicles and try to communicate that as high up the company as you can... (preferably not the front desk!) these people need to get with green flow!

Why choose Green Limo?
Cleaner Ride
At Green Limo, size matters, and the smaller our ecological footprint, the better. That’s why we offer Toyota Prius instead of the our traditional car to take clients to the airport.
Our Toyota Prius vehicles emit on average an incredible 65% less CO₂ and up to 90% fewer smog-causing, health damaging pollutants than the our traditional car that make up the fleets of existing
Competitive Price
Our vehicles don’t need much fuel. In fact, the Prius uses only about one third the fuel consumed by regular sedan by Mercedes. We pass these savings to our customers, so by riding with Green Limo, not only are you doing your part to save the planet, you’re also saving yourself a little money.
