The 2018 Kia Optima: Luup alternative

If you need a rental car, read about the 2018 Kia Optima here, then request it. 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 powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder hybrid with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Expect about 17 litres for every 300 km, going by its 5.6 L/100 km combined rating. Driving 300 km costs roughly $26.04 at our price setting.

What to expect from the Optima

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The EPA lists 368 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who rents the Optima

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

Rent this car

There is no exact match in our fleet today. Request it and we search for one, or take a similar car. Want a car for specific dates? Put them in the request and we check. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.

Checking your details

You need to be 18 or older at pickup, with an Ontario G2 or G licence valid for the whole rental. Age fees stop at 26: younger drivers pay a daily young driver fee. A card in the driver's own name is required at the handover.

Liability to other people is included in every rate. For the car itself, pick your own policy (OPCF 27), a card with rental car benefits, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is released after the return, once the car is checked. Each driver named on the booking signs the rental agreement.

Getting the car booked

The process opens with a request from you, which costs nothing and binds you to nothing. We confirm and price it, and the offer arrives in your account and by email. You decide: approve and pay, or let it go. No charge either way until you approve.

Every car has its own daily, weekend, weekly and monthly rate. Stay as long as you need: up to 365 days a booking, then renew. Allow 2 hours or more between your request and the pickup time.

Ask us

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