Enterprise Rent-a-Car WeCar - Hybrids by the Hour
Enterprise Rent-a-Car WeCar - Fuel Efficient News, Hybrid Rentals and Reviews - Automobile Magazine
With more people car pooling and using public transit to get to work or college, WeCar provides an alternative to driving a personal vehicle because of mid-day needs such as off-site meetings or appointments.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car just launched its WeCar vehicle sharing program. The national program is based on a similar concept pioneered by Zipcar (short rentals, web reservations, local pickups/drop off), but makes use of the huge Enterprise fleet and thousands of neighborhood locations. The WeCar fleet is populated by hybrids and other fuel-efficient vehicles, but there's a catch; your employer or school must be a member of the program before you can make a reservation.
