The 2015 BMW i8: Luup alternative
Searching for Luup alternative? Here is the 2015 BMW i8: what it is like and how to rent it. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.
What the figures tell you
Its powertrain is the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo hybrid with all-wheel drive. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
Combined fuel use is 8.3 L/100 km: about 25 litres for 300 km. It can cover about 531 km on electricity before switching to gas. That works out to about $12.87 per 100 km at our price setting.
Who the i8 suits
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
What the i8 is like
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. With 142 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Renting this car
Want a car for specific dates? Put them in the request and we check. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
How to book
You ask for the car you want for the dates you need. The request itself is free. We check the calendar and your details, then send you an offer with the total. You pay only once you approve the offer.
Each car shows its own extra kilometre rate, so nothing surprises you later. A rental of 7 days or longer is priced at the weekly rate. We need at least 2 hours of notice before a pickup.
Driver basics
Ontario G2 or G licence holders aged 18 and up can request a car. Drivers below 26 pay a fee each day of the rental, and older drivers pay none. At pickup, have your original licence and the payment card ready.
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. The deposit is never taken when you book; it comes about 1 hour before pickup. We confirm each driver's licence and identity the same way.
One more step
When you have your dates, send a request. It is free, and the offer shows the full price.
