[ausev] Can you rent a Prius Hybrid here ???

[Moe Pitman]

I think it was 2004 when Toyota recalled the battery in our 2001 Prius
-- They put us in a new Prius rental for a couple of days.  It came from
Enterprise at 701 Ben White Blvd., on the SW corner at I-35.

I don't know if they have one currently, but they had one then.

Good luck! (and let me know if I win the $50.  :)
