Enterprise Rent-a-Car to Offer Nissan Leaf Rentals

Enterprise Rent-a-Car will be offering rentals of the Nissan Leaf electric vehicle next year, and the Leaf will probably be a very popular vehicle choice for car renters. The Ford F-Series which can be found at a local F-Series Inventory is a popular rental choice because of its capability to haul items and its usefulness. But, the Nissan Leaf will likely be a top choice for car renters who want to try out the Leaf's capabilities as an electric vehicle. Volkswagen will be releasing a hybrid model to compete with automakers like Nissan in the new electric and hybrid vehicle market.

The Chevy Volt may or may not also be included by Enterprise as a rental vehicle choice, although that would certainly make things more interesting. The Volt will be able to be purchased later this year from Louisville Chevrolet Dealers along with other top Chevy models. It would be interesting to see which model would garner more interest, although both models would likely be hard to rent due to a waiting list of interested customers.

Offering electric vehicles as rental options is a genius idea for introducing the electric vehicle to the domestic car market. A similar type of marketing technique would probably work for markets abroad as well. Automakers like GM and Nissan that have electric or hybrid models should do their best to offer their models to dealers to help interested buyers be able to use the model without risk.

Interested buyers can rent the Nissan Leaf without having to lease or purchased the model, and they can drive it for several hours to see what the model is capable of doing. By testing out the model, many buyers will be able to confront their doubts about electric or hybrid vehicles, and automakers like GM and Nissan only stand to benefit by offering their models to rental car agencies.

Nissan Leaf Popularity Surges!

Although the Nissan Leaf's initial popularity has decreased, it is certain that the Nissan Leaf will be one of the most popular electric vehicles on the market. The car has several thousands of pre-orders and it will likely be found at Bradenton used cars dealers. Check Peoria Volkswagen deals for competing offers as well and New Haven Acura to browse for Honda's luxury vehicle.

The Nissan Leaf currently has 15,000 pre-orders that require a $99 reservation fee. With the United States and Japan combined, the Nissan Leaf has over 20,000 pre-orders.

Nissan's Leaf is a fully electric vehicle that will compete with the Chevy Volt and the Toyota Prius for the top hybrid/electric vehicle market spot. The Chevy Volt can drive 40 miles without a recharge, but the Leaf is able to drive for up to 100 miles without a recharge.
There were rumors that other factors would affect how long the Leaf is capable of driving such as barometric pressure, however this claim turned out to be unfounded.

The Nissan Leaf's body is quite different from the Volt, but it is still an attractive enough model for many buyers. The Volt is a sleek sedan and the Leaf is a smaller compact 5 door hatchback. The Leaf is more tailored toward compact and subcompact hatchback fans. The Volt is tailored toward those who like sedans with a sportier look.

The Leaf will go on sale later this year, and Nissan plans to release more initial models than the Chevy Volt. The Volt is not expected to make an initial profit while the Leaf will likely be profitable for Nissan. Some websites have reported that the Nissan Leaf has more initial interest than the Chevy Volt, however the Volt's popularity seems to be catching on as the car is currently sold out of its initial models.
