Customers can rent the model with unlimited mileage, at a special launch price of £9.99 (GBP) a day (up to 24 hours) and can also benefit from exemption from the Congestion Charge as well as free parking in designated areas.

The cars can be booked from www.hertz.co.uk and are available to rent from Hertz UK’s branches at London Heathrow Airport, Marble Arch, Old Kent Road, Russell Square and London City Airport, which are all equipped with charge points. Customers can also charge the vehicle at over 1,600 electric vehicle (EV) charge points across London.

Neil Cunningham, general manager, Hertz UK, said: “We are very confident that drivers who have never driven an EV before will now give this great experience a try, secure in the knowledge of the Nissan LEAF’s excellent driving range, and access to a large, citywide charging network.”
