Renting the 2008 Lexus IS
Searching for Luup alternative and the 2008 Lexus IS? Here is what the car is like and how to rent one from us. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.
The figures, translated
The 2.5L 6-cylinder does the work, through a 6-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 29 litres, from its 9.8 L/100 km rating. That works out to about $17.15 per 100 km at our price setting.
Living with the IS
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The EPA lists 311 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who it is for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

Rules for renters
Every driver must be 18 or older with an Ontario G2 or G licence. If any driver is under 26, a young driver fee is added for each day. A card in the driver's own name is required at the handover.
Damage to the car is handled one of three ways: OPCF 27 on your policy, a credit card's rental car benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is separate from the rental price and is returned after the rental. The checks are the same for everyone: licence, identity and the agreement.
Your request, our offer, your keys
Your part at the start is short: choose a car and dates and send a free request. Our team answers with an offer: the confirmed car, the dates and the full price. If you approve, you pay and the car is yours for those dates.
Each car shows its own extra kilometre rate, so nothing surprises you later. For longer stays, each booking of up to 365 days renews with a new agreement. Plan for at least 2 hours between sending the request and picking up the car.
