Luup alternative and the 2018 Ford Taurus
Here is the 2018 Ford Taurus from the angle of someone 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.
What the specs mean
The 3.5L 6-cylinder, paired with a 6-speed automatic, drives it. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Fuel use is rated 11.2 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 34 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $173.60 at our price setting.
When the Taurus makes sense
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Space, size and seats
As a large sedan, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Its 566 litre trunk is enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

The steps
Send the request with your dates first; no money changes hands at that stage. We confirm and price it, and the offer arrives in your account and by email. If the offer works for you, approve and pay to confirm. If not, you owe nothing.
You can check any car's calendar before you send a request. A booking can be a single day or up to 365 days. Requests for later the same day work when there are at least 2 hours to spare.
Before you rent
You need an Ontario G2 or G licence, valid for the whole rental, and to be 18 or older. Age fees stop at 26: younger drivers pay a daily young driver fee. We need to see the card and the licence of the person renting.
You pick how damage to the car is handled before pickup: OPCF 27, a credit card benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. A deposit applies to every rental. It is shown on the car's page and taken about 1 hour before pickup. Each renter is checked the same way, before the booking is confirmed.
When you know your dates
Send your dates and we will reply with a car and a price.
