Rent a 2012 Lexus HS in Toronto

What to know about the 2012 Lexus HS

The 2012 Lexus HS at a glance, then the details.

What the figures tell you

The engine is the 2.4L 4-cylinder hybrid, with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow. The gearbox is a continuously variable automatic, so there are no gear changes to feel.

At 6.9 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 21 litres of fuel. City driving is rated 6.7 L/100 km and highway driving 7.2. A 300 km weekend costs about $32.10 in energy at our price setting.

Inside and out

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. For luggage, 340 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

A good match for

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.

How far it goes

For a trip out of Ontario, ask first: it needs our written consent. Each car shows the kilometres included each day and the rate for extra ones. Return the car with the same fuel it had at pickup.

Renting this car

Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. A request for your dates gets you an offer from a person. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.

What you need to rent

The minimum age is 18, and the licence must be an Ontario G2 or G, valid for the whole trip. Under 26? You can rent, with a daily young driver fee shown on the car's page. A credit card in your name is needed, except on cars marked "no credit card needed", which take debit.

If you have no auto policy and no card benefit, the CarmaCars Protection Plan is the third option, priced in your offer. A deposit is held for every rental, about 1 hour before you get the car. Additional drivers can be added; each one meets the same rules and signs the agreement.

Booking made plain

You start by asking: a car, a start time, an end time. Asking is free. The offer comes from a person, not a robot, and it carries the full price. When you approve the offer and pay, the car is booked for you.

The rates you see on a car's page are the rates in your offer. For longer stays, each booking of up to 365 days renews with a new agreement. Pickups need at least 2 hours of notice from the time you send the request.

Your move

The quickest way to a price is a request with your dates. It costs nothing.
