Luup alternative with this car

This 1997 Lexus LS page is written for a rental car: the car first, then renting it 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.

Engine and fuel

The 4.0L 8-cylinder is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive. 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.

A combined rating of 12.4 L/100 km works out to about 37 litres per 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $217.

Space, size and seats

Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The EPA measures its luggage space at 396 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who the LS suits

It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Can you rent one?

Similar cars are below if you need one sooner. We have none on the site right now. Send a request for this exact car and we look for one for your dates. Ask for this exact car in your request, and we tell you what we can offer. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.

Who can rent

An Ontario G2 or G licence and an age of 18 or more: that is where it starts. Drivers under 26 can rent with a young driver fee each day. The payment card and the licence must match the driver's name.

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 never taken when you book; it comes about 1 hour before pickup. Each extra driver is checked the same way and signs the rental agreement.

How it works

Start with a request. Choose the car, the pickup time and the return time, and send it without paying anything. You then get an offer from us with the car, the dates and the total before tax. Your card is charged only when you approve the offer.

The calendar on each car's page helps you pick dates that work. Weekly pricing starts at 7 days, and a trip never costs more than that rate for a week. Pickups need at least 2 hours of notice from the time you send the request.

Next step

If a car here fits, request it for your dates.
