Courtesy car and the 2012 Lexus IS
Want the 2012 Lexus IS as a car while yours is off the road? Start here: the car in plain words, then how booking works. When your adjuster approves a rental, we can bill your insurance company directly. After a collision, your insurer may pay for the rental once your adjuster approves it.
Engine and fuel
The 2.5L 6-cylinder does the work, through a 6-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
The EPA rates it at 9.7 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 29 litres. A 300 km weekend costs about $50.91 in energy at our price setting.
Practical details
As a small car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Its 311 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Best uses
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Renting the IS from CarmaCars
We have none on the site right now. Send a request for this exact car and we look for one for your dates. Ask for your dates, and we reply with what we can offer. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
How a booking comes together
Choose a car, set the pickup and return times, and send the request. You pay nothing to ask. You get an offer that says exactly what the rental costs before tax. 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.
Who qualifies
At pickup you must be 18 or older and carry your original G2 or G licence. There is no upper age limit, and drivers under 26 pay a fee for each day. A credit card in your name is needed, except on cars marked "no credit card needed", which take debit.
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. The deposit is separate from the rental price and is returned after the rental. Name every driver in your request, and each is checked before pickup.
