About the 2002 Kia Optima

This page joins two things: Luup alternative, and the 2002 Kia Optima in plain words. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.

Engine and fuel

The 2.4L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

The EPA rates it at 11.2 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 34 litres. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $17.36 at our price setting.

Inside and out

As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Luggage space is rated at 368 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

When the Optima makes sense

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Renting this car

None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Ask for this exact car in your request, and we tell you what we can offer. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.

Driver requirements

You need to be 18 or older at pickup, with an Ontario G2 or G licence valid for the whole rental. Under 26? You can rent, with a daily young driver fee shown on the car's page. Your original licence, not a photo, comes with you to the handover.

Three options cover damage to the car: OPCF 27 on your auto policy, a credit card with rental car benefits, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is taken shortly before pickup, and the balance comes back after the return. We check your licence and identity before we confirm, the same way for every renter.

Your request, our offer, your keys

The first step is a free request: which car, which dates, and how you want to get it. You then get an offer from us with the car, the dates and the total before tax. You pay only once you approve the offer.

Each car shows its own extra kilometre rate, so nothing surprises you later. Need it longer than 365 days? Renew with a new agreement when the booking ends. Leave at least 2 hours between your request and the pickup.

Send a request

Choose a car above and send a request. A person replies with an offer, and you pay only if you approve it.
