In S.F., you drive the car electric

San Francisco was the first city to outlaw plastic grocery bags and require citizens to compost and recycle. So it should be no surprise that two hotels in the City by the Bay now offer their guests the use of all-electric vehicles.
The San Francisco Airport Marriott Waterfront has joined forces with Hertz to let guests enter an electric-vehicle-sharing program for free. Marriott guests can reserve the cars -- including the Nissan Leaf and the EV Smart car -- on a first-come, first-served basis. Guests are responsible for $6 to $8 hourly rental fees. Marriott officials said they hope to expand the program to the chain's hotels in Los Angeles.
