(PRWEB) October 24, 2006 -- New company, electriccarhire.com (www.electriccarhire.com), launching in October 2006, is the first company in London to offer electric cars for hire. From just £325 per month, vehicles will be available to customers based inside the M25.

By hiring an electric car, not only will customers help the planet, they will also save money. For electric cars don’t pay the congestion charge, parking in central London is heavily subsidised or free, and they have far lower running costs than petrol vehicles.

The company uses the Sakura Maranello4, built in Italy and offering the very latest in electric car design and specification. They are fun to drive, nippy and quiet with a range of up to 62 miles. Recharging the vehicles could not be simpler, you just plug one end of the electric lead provided into the car and the other into the mains -– it is as simple as that. Either charge them at home overnight, or at work during the day –- London has an ever increasing number of car parks with free charging facilities.

Customers can hire a car for three months or more with an option to buy at the end after the first six months.

Managing director, James Tucker said, "We believe that as the public is becoming more and more concerned about environmental issues, now is the right time to launch this innovative service for London. By using these cars, customers can help save the planet and at the same time save themselves money."

To find out further information about this new service and to arrange an interview or a test drive, please call James Tucker on 0771 8801 558. The company's website can be found at www.electriccarhire.com.
