Vehicle Information:
All hybrid vehicles are automatic transmission. Our Toyota Corolla hybrid is equipped with both a fuel tank for unleaded petrol and also has an electric motor. Hybrid vehicles tend to be more efficient for city driving, as the electric motor starts the vehicle and only uses the electric motor when driving up to 15 mph. During normal driving on motorways etc, the normal petrol engine is used as this is most efficient. The engine can also power the generator while cruising, which produces electricity and stores it in the batteries for later use.
This vehicle is priced at £7.40 per hour or £59.20 for any 24-hour period along with our standard £0.23 per mile charge to cover petrol costs. A fuel card is also provided within the vehicle should you need to refuel during your journey (we ask that the vehicle is returned with at least a quarter tank full). The fuel card provided is accepted at most major petrol stations, please see Fuel Card Site Locator for all locations.
The Toyota Corolla Hybrid comfortably seats 5. We also have a number of Corolla Touring Sport Estate vehicles available for hire which are within the same price bracket.
Start-up procedure:
- Once you're ready to get going with your journey, you will need to depress your foot fully down on the brake pedal and press the engine start/stop power button. Be aware that hybrid vehicles are almost silent when powered on so you will need to check that the green ready sign is displaying on the dashboard.
- When leaving the vehicle, please ensure you place the gear selector back in park (P).
