Avis adds Altima hybrid

Altima hybrid is now part of the 'cool car' collection

In addition to the Toyota Prius, Avis will also add the Nissan Altima hybrid to their list of available hybrid vehicles for rent. So, if you've been contemplating a hybrid for your next purchase, rent one from Avis and test drive the technology of the future.

Unfortunately, however, the ability to rent hybrids is limited by state. According to Avis, "The Nissan Altima Hybrid will be available at Avis locations throughout California. The Toyota Prius is available at locations in California, Portland, Ore., Seattle and Washington, D.C. The Toyota Prius hybrid will also be available in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, New York City and Philadelphia by the end of the year. Both the Nissan Altima Hybrid and the Toyota Prius are available with guaranteed reservations."
