Eco-Friendly Car Rentals

The WeCar Enterprise Rent-a-Car System Helps Clean Up the Environment

— August 1, 2010 — Autos
The WeCar Enterprise Rent-a-Car system is a collaboration between the two companies allowing for a more eco-friendly car-sharing experience.

With electric cars now available to rent, this by-the-hour system is completely automated, allowing for a more convenient and greener method of car rental. Whether you need a rental to get to work or for a weekend getaway, this eco-friendly WeCar Enterprise Rent-a-Car system is definitely a greener option.

Implications - Consumers are not yet ready to adapt hybrid vehicles due to high costs. These rental electric cars, however, allow prospective buyers the opportunity to test out the product before making the purchase as well as offering consumers a chance to enjoy the prestige that comes along with owning a hybrid vehicle. Companies that sell high-end wares may want to consider a rental service to entice prospective customers.
Trend Themes
1. Electric Car Sharing - Companies can explore the opportunity of offering automated electric car-sharing systems as a more eco-friendly and convenient alternative to traditional car rentals.
2. Eco-friendly Test Drives - Car dealerships can consider offering rental electric cars to potential customers as a way to test out the product before making an expensive purchase of hybrid or electric cars.
3. Sustainable Transportation - Sustainability-focused entrepreneurs can explore starting their own eco-friendly car-sharing service or expanding their current offerings to include electric car rentals.
Industry Implications
1. Car Rental Services - Traditional car rental companies can pivot to offering automated electric car-sharing systems as a way to attract eco-conscious customers and compete with newer players in the market.
2. Automotive Retail - Car dealerships can innovate by offering rental electric cars to potential customers, providing them with a chance to experience the luxury and eco-friendliness of hybrid or electric cars before purchasing.
3. Sustainability Consulting - Consulting firms dedicated to sustainability can help traditional car rental companies and car dealerships develop more environmentally friendly transportation solutions and rental services.
