Luup alternative and the 2008 Kia Optima
If you need a rental car, the 2008 Kia Optima is one option; this page explains the car and how booking works. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.
Specs, explained
The 2.4L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 5-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.
By the EPA's combined rating of 9.4 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 28 litres. That works out to about $14.57 per 100 km at our price setting.
The Optima in everyday use
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Its 396 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Good uses for the Optima
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Rent this car
Want a car for specific dates? Put them in the request and we check. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
How booking works
All you send at first is a request with the car and the dates, and it is free. A person replies with an offer priced for your dates, not an estimate. An offer is valid for 24 hours, and you pay only when you approve it.
Prices on each car's page are before tax, and the offer adds the tax. Rent for a day, a week or up to 365 days in one booking. Plan for at least 2 hours between sending the request and picking up the car.
What to bring
Ontario G2 or G licence holders aged 18 and up can request a car. A daily young driver fee applies to drivers under 26, with no maximum age. Debit works on cars marked "no credit card needed"; the others take a credit card.
If you have no auto policy and no card benefit, the CarmaCars Protection Plan is the third option, priced in your offer. Expect a deposit before every rental; its amount is set by the car. Each renter is checked the same way, before the booking is confirmed.

About $14.57 for fuel, from the EPA combined rating of 9.4 L/100 km (2.4L 4-cylinder, front-wheel drive, 5-speed automatic) at $1.55 a litre. You return the car with the same fuel it had at pickup.

What coverage do I need?
Third-party liability is included in the rate. 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, priced in your offer by car and driver age. At $2,500 or more we claim on our fleet policy and you pay the $2,500 deductible.
