Cars for Berkeley

Luup Alternative for Rideshare Drivers in Berkeley: CarmaCars is a Toronto company, so here is what we can and cannot do. One thing to know: A car for Uber, Lyft or delivery work, rented from CarmaCars directly. Tell us when you book. Weekly and monthly rates first: trips of 7 days or more use the weekly rate, and one booking runs up to 365 days and renews. Luup, Uber and Lyft are named only to describe what you compared and the work; CarmaCars is not affiliated with, approved or endorsed by any of them. Rates are per car, so you can choose by budget.

What you get

You choose the car, we confirm it, and the offer shows every charge. Rent by the day, the week or the month, with the same simple request each time. A request is free and commits you to nothing. Rent by the day, by the week, or up to 365 days at a time.

Who rents from us

Visitors, locals between cars, families on a trip and people who need a second car for a while. Drivers who want to try a different kind of car for a week.

Before you rent

The minimum age is 18, and the licence must be an Ontario G2 or G, valid for the whole trip. The young driver fee covers drivers under 26; older drivers pay no age fee. Debit works on cars marked "no credit card needed"; the others take a credit card.

Liability to other people is included in every rate. For the car itself, pick your own policy (OPCF 27), a card with rental car benefits, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. We hold the deposit shortly before pickup and release it after the return. We verify licences and identity for every renter, with no exceptions.

How to book

Every booking starts as a request: the car, the dates and where you want it. Nothing is charged to send one. A staff member reads the request and sends the offer. We reply within 2 hours. If it suits you, approve it and pay. Until then, nothing is charged.

Rates are set car by car and shown on each car's page. Stay as long as you need: up to 365 days a booking, then renew. A pickup can be as soon as 2 hours after your request, when the car is free.
