Java and the Malibu

If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Java. Java is about 1,639 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area.

Next door to Java are Selby, Lowry and Sitka.

Specs, explained

The engine is the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Rated at 7.8 L/100 km combined, it needs around 23 litres for a 300 km round trip. Driving 300 km costs roughly $36.27 at our price setting.

Room inside

As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. EPA lists 453 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.

Renting: the basics

You need to be 18 or older at pickup, with an Ontario G2 or G licence valid for the whole rental. If any driver is under 26, a young driver fee is added for each day. The card you pay with must be yours, and you bring it to the handover.

Every rate includes third-party liability. The car itself needs one of three options: OPCF 27, a card benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is separate from the rental price and is returned after the rental. Each extra driver is checked the same way and signs the rental agreement.

Booking made plain

Pick the car and the dates that suit you, then send a request. There is no payment at that point. An offer follows, with the car we confirm and the full price for your dates. You decide: approve and pay, or let it go. No charge either way until you approve.

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. Pickups need at least 2 hours of notice from the time you send the request.
