Luup alternative with this car

Renting the 1997 Ford Taurus as a rental car works like any rental with us: a free request, an offer, then the keys. 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

The engine is the 3.0L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Combined fuel use is 11.8 L/100 km: about 35 litres for 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $18.29 at our price setting.

Living with the Taurus

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Luggage space is 1,076 litres, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

A good match for

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Can I rent it?

Your request can name this exact car; the offer confirms what we can give you. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. We have none on the site right now. Send a request for this exact car and we look for one for your dates. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.

Before pickup

Drivers need to be 18 or over, holding an Ontario G2 or G licence for the whole rental. Drivers below 26 pay a fee each day of the rental, and older drivers pay none. Your licence and the card you paid with come with you to the pickup.

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. We hold the deposit shortly before pickup and release it after the return. Each driver named on the booking signs the rental agreement.

Booking with CarmaCars

You ask for the car online with your dates, and nothing is charged to send it. Then we send an offer. The offer shows the price before 13% HST and the deposit. When you approve the offer and pay, the car is booked for you.

Each car shows its rate for a day, a weekend day, a week and a month. Trips of 7 days or more use the weekly rate, and shorter trips never cost more than it. Give us 2 hours or more before the pickup and we can usually make it work.

Questions first?

Look through the cars, choose one, and send a request when it suits you.
