Europcar is enhancing its eco-friendly credentials by adding greener cars to its fleet.

The UK group is to include the PEUGEOT 308 in its list of cars, which include the hatchback, HDi 90 and 110 bhp diesel models.

Fleet director of Europcar UK Group Tim Bailey comments: "As a highly innovative and eco-friendly vehicle, the 308 fits perfectly into Europcar's focus of helping customers drive efficiently while reducing CO2 emissions and the expense on their pockets."

Car insurance customers are reminded that the 308 is highly fuel efficient, making it an economically viable option for many people.

It is great for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint, the company asserts.

The cars are available for rental at 250 locations throughout the UK.
