SUSTAINABILITY
We're committed to fostering innovation, new vehicle technologies and sustainable solutions.
Our roadmap into the future
The impact of our neighbourhood network on the future of sustainable transit is most clearly seen among urban populations where car hire plays an increasingly important role.
Our commitment
We believe that by embracing, promoting and practicing sustainability, we benefit along with the environment. It’s about getting people involved. It's good for our people, our customers and our business.

Cleaner Shuttle Buses
We are the first major player in the car hire industry to shift our fleet of US airport shuttle buses to five per cent biodiesel. Our goal is to have our entire US fleet of shuttle buses running on cleaner fuel.
A 20/20 Vision
In 2010, we announced a commitment to reduce both our energy use and costs by 20 per cent in five years. To date, electricity use has been reduced by 16.5 per cent, and natural gas use has been reduced by 7.6 per cent.
