Back in December 'Connect Bb Hertz' was officially launched and since then, the company has worked hard to bring the best and most popular electric cars to its catalog.
Today the success of this initiative took another step forward as the car rental company has just announced the first rental of the immensely popular Chevy Volt which they recently added to their service. The news marks another giant step forward for the viability of environmentally friendly vehicles as rental cars, and as Hertz is one of the key leaders in the industry it is hoped their successful example will inspire other companies to follow suit.
