Default Denver Prius Rental???

I'm going to Denver for a couple of days and would like to rent a Prius if possible.

Anybody know whether this is possible?

About 50% of Toyota dealers participate in a rental program
TRAC
Some of them apparently rent Prius. I'm thinking of checking this out myself (for MA not CO). Good luck and let us know how it works out.

Economy car, but we saved more than that each day that we used it on
our trip to Maine.

They told us that, out of 600 cars at that location, they have 40
Priuses. They can take requests for it, but can't guarantee that one
will be available (we lucked-out). So, if flying into Boston, you
might try calling ahead and asking for one.

The funny thing is, most people renting them don't know what it is
and have to be talked into it. When using it locally, as most
business travelers do, they are surprised that they only put in a
dollar's worth of gas before dropping it off.

At some point, Enterprise will sell their Priuses, and they already
show up in the drop-down lists on their website:

Now if only I could rent a Prius while my Insight is in for scheduled maintainence....
