Are there any car rental companies out there (preferably the more well known ones) that allow you to specify whether you want a diesel or petrol car in the same way as you can specify car size?

    National at Heathrow operate the Choices scheme which allows you to pick any car from a particular section of the car park. They always have a mix of petrol and diesel.

    This is actually a great idea, one I've never thought of too much really. I recently used 121 car hire to book my car rental, and being a diesel man myself I ended up having to get this sorted over the phone because I was unsure what car they would book for me.
