We are unable to confirm specific models at this time, but we have and still are looking at ways in which we can improve our fleet and in particular the level of choice that customers have by working closely with manufacturers using the latest fuel technologies. We would love to know if you have driven any of the new technology cars and what you thought about them. Jane Hi Robert,

We do have a few vehicles on fleet with similar levels of emissions, however customers are only able to book and guarantee specific fuel type and emissions when opting for Avis ECO at present. If you have any other questions please let me know. Vicki Hi Adam,

I'm long term renting from you while the company I work for sorts out it's company car policy, so I'm trying to find out all the info on the car before it's due to be delivered on Friday. Is it the '1.6TDI S' - if so how does this compare to the Ford Focus Zetec 1.6 TDCI I've had for the past few months on power, emissions and general speed, as the 'Golf S' models seem to be lower spec and horsepower - or have you added any options on them to make them more pleasant? Is this the BlueMotion Golf or the standard 1.6TDI?

So nice to be able to travel in style and comfort (avoiding the cold trains) and still have a guilt free eco-conscience! :) Please add more cars to the collection soon with even lower emissions!

So what other cars can we expect to see in the “collection” and when? Got my first rental of the Eco Golf booked so will report back...
