Luup alternative with this car
Luup alternative: the 2017 Buick Encore. Here is the car in plain words, and how renting one from CarmaCars works. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.
What the specs mean
Under the hood: the 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
By the EPA's combined rating of 8.1 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 24 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $12.56, and a 300 km weekend about $37.68.
Size and space
The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic. It is 4.27 m long. Parking on city streets is easy.
Who rents the Encore
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Send a request for this exact car and we look for one for your dates. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Who can rent
Every driver must be 18 or older with an Ontario G2 or G licence. No maximum age, and a daily fee only for drivers under 26. A credit card in your name is needed, except on cars marked "no credit card needed", which take debit.
If you have no auto policy and no card benefit, the CarmaCars Protection Plan is the third option, priced in your offer. The deposit is taken about 1 hour before pickup, never when you book. Each driver named on the booking signs the rental agreement.
How renting with us works
Nothing to pay up front: the first step is simply a request. Our offer spells out the rate, the delivery fee if any, and the deposit. Only an approved, paid offer books the car.
Each car shows its rate for a day, a weekend day, a week and a month. A week or more is priced at the weekly rate, from 7 days. Short notice is fine: 2 hours is the minimum before a pickup.
