How do I rent an electric car?

I’m traveling for work soon, and I’ll need to rent a car once I land. I drive an electric car at home, and I’d like to drive one when I’m traveling as well. Can I request an electric car from a rental company?

Yes! Many rental car companies offer the option of
electric cars,
. If you have a specific model in mind, you can request it from the rental company while booking your trip.
Most major car rental companies, like Hertz and Enterprise, will offer electric cars, but there may be even more options depending on where you live.
Apps like
Turo
and
Getaround
allow you to rent a car directly from someone in your area. Some
Nissan dealerships
even offer electric car rentals to give you a chance to try before you buy.
