Biodiesel is a great renewable fuel produced from natural oils found in plants. Raw materials for biodiesel range from used cooking oil from fast food restaurants to soybean oil purchased specifically for conversion into a motor fuel. Since biodiesel can be made domestically, it could have a tremendous impact on foreign policy and the economy. Renting a biodiesel car now is a way for citizens to show their support for this budding product.

Bio-Beetle’s vehicles are powered by B99.9 biodiesel, a fuel made from only vegetable oils. In Hawaii, most biodiesel is made from used cooking oil. In the Los Angeles, their biodiesel is often distilled from Walnut Oil. Bio-Beetle does not blend their vegetable oil derived biodiesel with any petroleum distillates or products.

Renting a biodiesel vehicle is not only a great way to minimize your impact on the environment when traveling; it can also help to familiarize you with biodiesel and biodiesel cars in general. If you think you may be interested in purchasing a biodiesel vehicle, renting a biodiesel car from a company such as Bio-Beetle is an excellent way to learn about how biodiesel cars differ from the car you drive now. You may find that biodiesel is the right choice for you. If so, great, if not, you’ll be thankful you rented a biodiesel car prior to such a major expenditure.

For small business owners and vacationers alike biodiesel car rental results in reduced expenses for fuel. Rates for biodiesel can run as little as half of a gallon of gasoline. This can really add up on long vacations or business trips, especially if there will be a lot of traveling around the destination. If your travels will be taking you to California, biodiesel rentals offer another benefit, especially in traffic jam-prone cities. In California, hybrid and alternative fueled vehicles are eligible for the carpool lane, regardless of number of occupants.
