Luup alternative with this car
The 2016 BMW i8 is on this page for Luup alternative: here is what to know before you request one. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.
Engine and fuel
It runs 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.
Plan on about 25 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 8.3 L/100 km. It can cover about 531 km on electricity before switching to gas. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $38.61 at our price setting.
Size and space
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The trunk holds 142 litres by the EPA's count: about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
When the i8 makes sense
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Renting this car
Ask for your dates, and we reply with what we can offer. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
What to bring
An Ontario G2 or G licence and an age of 18 or more: that is where it starts. No maximum age, and a daily fee only for drivers under 26. We check that the card and the licence carry the same name.
Every rate includes third-party liability. The car itself needs one of three options: OPCF 27, a card benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. We take the deposit shortly before pickup and return it after the car comes back. Extra drivers are welcome; each one is checked and signs the agreement.
Your booking, in three steps
A booking with us starts as a request that you send without paying. A person replies with an offer priced for your dates, not an estimate. You pay when you approve, and only then.
Each car shows its rate for a day, a weekend day, a week and a month. Book one day, one week, or up to 365 days at once. At least 2 hours must separate the request from the pickup.
Ready to ask?
Ask for the car, read the offer, approve it if it suits you.
