The Most Fuel-Efficient Rental Cars
Electric cars like the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt are now available as rental cars, as are a host of hybrids.

Ford Escape Hybrid
Gas Mileage: 32 mpg
Rental Availability: Widely available.
Rental Car Companies: Enterprise, Avis, National, Alamo
Rental Terms: Hourly and daily
As the only SUV on the green rental list, the Escape Hybrid is just about the most functional of the bunch—which, on vacation, can come in pretty handy. The mileage cited above is only for the front wheel drive version. The 4WD version is harder to come by as a rental and returns 29 mpg combined, which is still impressive for a 4WD vehicle.
In any case, if your vacation calls for a little off-road action or extra storage space, then the Escape Hybrid is a good call.
