U-Haul adds green rides to car-share program

U-Haul has made moving simpler for many Americans, and its car-sharing program is cutting rates and adding more environmentally friendly rides in an effort to win over consumers.

The registration fee is being slashed from $50 to $25, and members of other car-sharing organizations can have the member fee waived.
