Luup alternative and the 2017 BMW i3
Renting the 2017 BMW i3 as a rental car works like any rental with us: a free request, an offer, then the keys. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.
Under the hood
The engine is the 0.6L 2-cylinder hybrid, with rear-wheel drive and a 1-speed automatic. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 20 litres, from its 6.7 L/100 km rating. On electricity alone it is rated for about 290 km before the gas engine takes over. A 300 km weekend costs about $31.17 in energy at our price setting.
Who rents the i3
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
The i3 in everyday use
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Its 425 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent this car
This exact car is not in our fleet at the moment; a request asks us to look for one. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. A request for your dates gets you an offer from a person. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Driver requirements
An Ontario G2 or G licence and an age of 18 or more are the starting point. There is no upper age limit, and drivers under 26 pay a fee for each day. We check that the card and the licence carry the same name.
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. There is a deposit for each rental, taken shortly before pickup rather than at booking. A quick licence and identity check happens before we confirm any booking.
Booking, step by step
Pick the car and the dates that suit you, then send a request. There is no payment at that point. Our reply is an offer that lists the rate, the kilometres included and any delivery fee. An offer is valid for 24 hours, and you pay only when you approve it.
Compare cars side by side by opening their pages. The longer the booking, the lower the rate a day tends to be. Same-day requests are fine with at least 2 hours of notice, when the car is free.
Let us know
A request costs nothing, and the offer tells you everything.

How much does fuel cost to drive the 2017 BMW i3 100 km?
About $10.39 for fuel, from the EPA combined rating of 6.7 L/100 km (0.6L 2-cylinder hybrid, rear-wheel drive, 1-speed automatic) at $1.55 a litre. You return the car with the same fuel it had at pickup.
How old do I need to be to rent?

How much is the deposit?
Between $500 and $5,000, depending on the car. It is taken about 1 hour before pickup, never when you book, and the balance is released within 7 business days after you return the car.
What coverage do I need?
Third-party liability is included in the rate. For damage to the car itself, have your own policy (OPCF 27), a credit card with rental car coverage, or add the CarmaCars Protection Plan, priced in your offer by car and driver age. At $2,500 or more we claim on our fleet policy and you pay the $2,500 deductible.
Can the car be delivered?
Yes, anywhere, including Toronto Pearson International Airport and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. Delivery starts at $75 plus the distance from our location, priced in your offer. Collecting the car yourself is free.
