Luup alternative and the 2008 Ford Taurus
If a rental car is the plan, the 2008 Ford Taurus is worth a look; here is why. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.
Under the hood
The engine is the 3.5L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
A combined rating of 11.6 L/100 km works out to about 35 litres per 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $17.98 at our price setting.
A good match for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Practical details
Being a large sedan, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Luggage space is rated at 595 litres: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. 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. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
How it works
Booking is by request, never instant. You send the car and the dates, and a person at CarmaCars reviews it. Our team answers with an offer: the confirmed car, the dates and the full price. 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. The longer the booking, the lower the rate a day tends to be. Requests for later the same day work when there are at least 2 hours to spare.
Before pickup
Ontario G2 or G licence holders aged 18 and up can request a car. No maximum age, and a daily fee only for drivers under 26. The card you pay with must be yours, and you bring it to the handover.
Liability to others is in the rate. Damage to the car is handled by your policy (OPCF 27), your card's rental benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan, priced in your offer. The deposit is released after the return, once the car is checked. Every driver's licence and identity are checked before we confirm.
