Black SUV service: 2017 Chevrolet Malibu LT in Java

Renting the 2017 Chevrolet Malibu LT

If a car with a driver is the plan, the 2017 Chevrolet Malibu LT is worth a look; here is why. Chauffeur bookings are by the hour, two hours minimum; send a request and we reply with the vehicle we can offer and the price. Winter tires are an add-on on the SUVs that offer them.

The Malibu and Java

If you need it in Java itself, send a request and we will tell you honestly whether we can help. Java is about 1,639 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area.

Around Java you will also find Selby, Lowry and Sitka.

Under the hood

The powertrain here is the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Expect about 23 litres for every 300 km, going by its 7.8 L/100 km combined rating. Driving 300 km costs roughly $36.27 at our price setting.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Room inside

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. EPA lists 453 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.

In our fleet

This exact car is not in our fleet at the moment; a request asks us to look for one. Meanwhile, 7 similar cars are listed below. Your request can name this exact car; the offer confirms what we can give you.

What to have ready

You need an Ontario G2 or G licence, valid for the whole rental, and to be 18 or older. A young driver fee applies each day for drivers under 26. At pickup, have your original licence and the payment card ready.

Liability to others is in the rate. Damage to the car is handled by your policy (OPCF 27), your card's rental benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan, priced in your offer. There is a deposit for each rental, taken shortly before pickup rather than at booking. Every renter goes through the same check of licence and identity before the car is confirmed.

Booking in plain terms

First, a request: the car you like, when you need it, and where. No payment yet. We reply with an offer for the car and the dates, priced in full. Say yes to the offer and pay; that is when the booking is made.

You can check any car's calendar before you send a request. Bookings run from one day up to 365 days at a time. Leave at least 2 hours between your request and the pickup.

One more step

When you have your dates, send a request. It is free, and the offer shows the full price.
