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

[Clendon Gibson]

Unfortunatly, this Enterprise rental place has moved. I am not sure where they went, but there aren't many Enterprise sites in Austin, so you could call them all in short order. Or it seems like one could look up the other sites for you.

The building that was the Enterprise rental was briefly made into the Kinky for Governor headquarters, but I think it is for lease again.

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.  :)
