Green holiday car rentals - Telegraph Other initiatives in the area include special electric-car tour collaborations between hotels and guesthouses, offering six-night breaks, such as the bed, breakfast, dinner and provision of an electric Twizy, from £595, organised by Welshroadtrips.com. Travellers receive maps with routes designed for electric vehicles (often on quieter, more scenic country roads), along with a satnav unit. The two-night locations are around 40 miles apart, with stopping-off points at scenic locations en route. In the Lake District, two Renault Twizys, based at The Langdale Hotel, Ambleside, are available to hire from £10 an hour, as part of the GoLakes programme, backed with £6.9 million of funds from the Department for Transport and aimed at boosting sustainable travel. Travellers to the New Forest can hire one of eight Renault Twizys from Cycle Experience, next to Brockenhurst station, as well as from selected two- and five-star hotels as part of a major venture by the New Forest Destination Partnership. The cars come with a New Forest Card that offers savings at local shops, restaurants and attractions where the Twizys" batteries can be topped up free of charge. Rental costs are £42 in winter and £49 in summer, and will soon include an app to help drivers plan tours. It's not just in rural areas that electric holiday cars thrive. Europcar (europcar.co.uk) offers plug-in Peugeots and Nissans, from £51 a day, from numerous sites across Greater London, as well as from Glasgow, Heathrow and Luton airports. Hertz (hertz.com) has electric Mitsubishis, Nissans and other models in London and Oxford, from around £36 a day. With a little planning, it's really not so difficult for motoring holidays to be green.
