Luup alternative with this car

This 1998 Kia Sephia page is written for a rental car: the car first, then renting it from us. 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

Its 1.8L 4-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Its combined rating is 9.8 L/100 km, which means roughly 29 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $45.57 in energy at our price setting.

What the Sephia is like

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. For luggage, 283 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Good uses for the Sephia

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Getting this car from us

Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. Put this car and your dates in a request, and we reply with an offer. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.

How booking works

Pick your car, enter your dates and send the request. That is all you do at first, and it is free. We check the calendar and your details, then send you an offer with the total. You decide: approve and pay, or let it go. No charge either way until you approve.

You can check any car's calendar before you send a request. Book by the week from 7 days, or by the month up to 365 days. Plan for at least 2 hours between sending the request and picking up the car.

Driver requirements

Our minimum age is 18; an Ontario G2 or G licence is required. If you are under 26, expect a young driver fee each day; there is no upper age limit. You show your original licence and your card when we hand you the keys.

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. The deposit is taken about 1 hour before pickup, never when you book. Each extra driver is checked the same way and signs the rental agreement.

What you need to rent

Drivers must be 18 or older at pickup. A young driver fee applies by age: 18 to 20, $35 a day and 21 to 25, $20 a day; from 26 there is none.

An additional driver costs 25% of the daily rate for each day, and meets the same rules.

Third-party liability coverage is included in every rate. For damage to the car you need one of these before pickup: OPCF 27 on your own auto policy, Your credit card’s rental coverage and The CarmaCars Protection Plan. A claim on our fleet policy costs you the $2,500 deductible.

The deposit is a hold on your card, $500 to $5,000 depending on the car, never a charge.

At pickup, bring your original licence and the card you paid with.

Book at least 2 hours before pickup.

Cancelling: 95% back within 24 hours of booking when pickup is 48 hours or more away; 75% back 48 hours or more before pickup; 50% back 24 to 48 hours before; nothing back later.
