Luup alternative: the 2012 Buick Regal
This page looks at the 2012 Buick Regal for anyone searching for Luup alternative. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.
Under the hood
The powertrain to know here is the 2.4L 4-cylinder hybrid, with front-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Plan on about 25 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 8.3 L/100 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $38.61 at our price setting.
Who it is for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Living with the Regal
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Luggage space is rated at 368 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Getting one from us
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. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Booking made plain
A booking with us starts as a request that you send without paying. Our offer spells out the rate, the delivery fee if any, and the deposit. If it suits you, approve it and pay. Until then, nothing is charged.
The calendar on each car's page helps you pick dates that work. Book by the week from 7 days, or by the month up to 365 days. Leave at least 2 hours between your request and the pickup.
What we ask of drivers
Drivers from 18 up, with an Ontario G2 or G licence, are welcome. Drivers under 26 can rent with a young driver fee each day. The payment card and the licence must match the driver's name.
You pick how damage to the car is handled before pickup: OPCF 27, a credit card benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. A deposit is held before each rental; the amount is on the car's page. Every renter goes through the same check of licence and identity before the car is confirmed.
