IndiGO Green

As continual warnings of pollution continue to flash many people and companies alike are adopting some form of go green policy. One of our suppliers in Northampton have recently increased their amount of green vehicles adding Nissan Leaf Electric cars to the equation. Indigo Car Hire offer green electric vehicles at several locations including Heathrow and Edinburgh and we also can offer hybrid vehicles for rental in several locations across the UK one of which being where we are based, Leeds. It only costs an estimated £1-2 to fully recharge one of the vehicles, green and money saving!

Expect to be seeing a lot more green vehicles on the road in the next coming years even in terms of car hire and company fleets, this increase of green vehicles may come faster than expected with people that own them seeing a reduced cost in tax and congestion charges. There is however one major problem with Green cars today, that problem is fuelling stations, although it’s getting better many fuel pumps don’t have an electric charger which is partially due to the time it takes to fuel an electric car which is a considerable amount longer than a petrol, the problem is solving this issue.

As electric cars continue to improve however it’s likely that more petrol stations will adopt the electric charges as they are so cost efficient, this in turn will increase the amount of green vehicles produced massively. We are only a step away from everyone owning a green vehicle but how long will that step take, it needs just one technological breakthrough in order to make it there. Hire with Indigo today and request an electric vehicle or hybrid and we will get this arranged for you, save money and save the planet at the same time!
