I was recently introduced to a really great website that is sure to both save you money on your next car rental and also help make your next trip a little greener.
The site is called Cost To Drive http://www.CostToDrive.com and it tells you exactly that, how much it will cost to drive your route. It's a fairly simple concept - you enter your starting and ending addresses, the year make and model of your car, and the website calculates not only how much gas you will use but also how much it will cost to get you from point A to point B.
This is an excellent tool to use when you're shopping for a cheap rental car or a green rental car. You can calculate your trip using each of the available rental cars in your destination. From there you have everything you need to compare the actual cost of your rental options (monetary and environmental).
Remember if you have your heart set a hybrid car rental but can't find one in your destination...you can still make a difference by choosing the most fuel efficient rental car for your trip. Our Car Rental Search highlights these cars for you, and this tool will help you narrow down the very best option for your trip.
