Want to rent a plug-in hybrid car in Costa Rica? Now you can

On Tuesday the businesses Edventure Travel and Adobe Rent-a-Car released the first 4×4 plug-in hybrid rental car, a new sustainable transportation option for those who prefer an eco-friendly choice.

The official release was carried out at the Saúl Bistró restaurant in Barrio Escalante, west of San José, and featured Peter Derrek Hof, ambassador for the Netherlands and Emilio Méndez of the brand Saúl E. Méndez.

The project founders, Katia Enríquez from Adobe Rent-A-Car and Ed Smit from Edventure Travel, also spoke at the event.

The 4×4 plug-in hybrid is a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV that can be charged with 110 volts on any power outlet with a duration of 8 hours and 50 km.
