"For the past 50 years, Enterprise Rent-A-Car has steadily grown its business by consistently talking and listening to its customers", said Susie Irwin, vice president and general manager for Enterprise in Sacramento. "Customers of Enterprise's downtown branches have expressed great interest in renting environmentally friendly vehicles, and we are responding by concentrating the largest number of hybrid and fuel-efficient vehicles at a specific, convenient rental location."
This is the first Enterprise "Green Branch" in CA, although the company has 4 more in the United States along with 8 E85/Flex Fuel stations across the country.
Enterprise (along with sister companies National and Alamo) offer customers the opportunity to benefit the environment by offsetting the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of their rental cars. Customers can opt in to pay $1.25 per rental, and will fund certified offset projects through TerraPass that work to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Then the company's charitable foundation will match customer contributions dollar-for-dollar, up to $1 million per year. One more way to make your trip to Sacramento carbon neutral.
The company's charitable foundation is also funding $50 million worth of trees...that works out to 50 million trees in the next 50 years! They are working with the Arbor Day Foundation and the U.S. Forest Service to plant the trees on public lands across the United States.
A big thanks goes out to Enterprise Rent-A-Car for giving visitors (and locals) in the Sacramento area a greener option for their rental car choices. We are honored that Sacramento was chosen as the place to kick off greener rentals in the state of California!
