    I need to repair my Prius plug-in for minor damage on the back side door and fender. All 3 auto body shops want 2 weeks to repair even Toyota. Although they rent Plugins but none has the HOV sticker I need to get on the car pool lane. What is bad is they can't save 1 sticker and I was told it is technically illegal to drive with 3 stickers AND i have to remove all 4 stickers and send them to Sacramento which will replace them MAYBE in 4 months according to other blogs. Does anyone know a rental agency that rents cars with HOV stickers..green ones in OC or near LAX?

    surely life doesn't end when you have to be on the freeway with the rest of the common folks, for 2 weeks.

    Drive around with the 3 stickers after the repair. No cop will have the time or energy to stop you

    Kemp, if your time for traveling is that valuable, you can rent a stickered model S - at least in so Cal & the bay area (i've seen 'em in a few other areas too) ... but you might never go back for your prius

    They actually have other vehicles which in some cases have stickers, too. Good luck!

    Not bad i can get plugin with green stickers $79 a day and Volt at $99 a day

    I was thinking of CNG white sticker rental. Since i have few charging areas for Leaf or TESLA


    It maybe 4 months if i have to replace them in Sacramento
