During awards season, hundreds of A-list stars are driving – or being driven – to events like the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards in rented cars, which has given one company the idea of lending “green” cars to Hollywood stars.

The “green” movement in cars is popular these days not only for its cost savings at the pump, but because many people are trying to reduce their carbon footprint. The environmental impact is probably most important to the Hollywood elite who want to at least look like they’re doing their part.

It’s no surprise then that GreenSUV, a California company that rents hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles to celebrities, is getting attention from stars like Penelope Cruz.

According to TheDailyGreen.com, Cruz and fellow actress Meryl Streep used the car service to get the Academy Awards on Sunday and a number of stars used the service for the Golden Globes.

“I felt it was time for a luxury car service to take part in eliminating gas-guzzling, high-emission vehicles from the roads,” Green SUV CEO Damien Breen told the website. “We realize many people want to contribute to the environment, but can’t see themselves being driven around town in a Prius.”
