What are the benefits of renting a hybrid car?
The Hybrid Renault Captur merges the best of both worlds by combining a traditional gasoline engine with an electric motor, allowing for reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions. This hybrid system provides the flexibility to drive on electric-only power for short city trips, or to utilize the combined power of both engines for longer journeys, maximizing efficiency and range.
- Lower Emissions: Drive with a smaller carbon footprint by utilizing the electric-only mode for short distances, significantly reducing emissions compared to conventional vehicles.
- Fuel Efficiency: Save on fuel costs with the hybrid system, which optimizes fuel use by switching between electric and gasoline power based on driving conditions.
- Quiet and Smooth Driving: Enjoy a quiet and smooth driving experience, particularly in urban settings where the electric motor operates silently at low speeds.
- Advanced Technology: Features like regenerative braking help recharge the battery during deceleration, extending your electric driving range and enhancing overall efficiency.
Please note: The charging cable is NOT included in the rental. It must be rented separately with the booking. You can add the charging cable during the booking process.
