Luup alternative with this car
For a rental car, the 2012 Lexus LS is one of many cars on CarmaCars, each with its own page. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.
The numbers in plain words
It uses the 5.0L 8-cylinder hybrid and all-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
It is rated 11.5 L/100 km combined: about 35 litres every 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $17.83.
How big it is
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. With 283 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
When the LS makes sense
Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Renting 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. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Requesting a car
First, a request: the car you like, when you need it, and where. No payment yet. A staff member reads the request and sends the offer. We reply within 2 hours. Nothing is charged until you approve it and pay.
Every car on the site has a page of its own, with its calendar and its rates. Weekly pricing starts at 7 days, and a trip never costs more than that rate for a week. With 2 hours of notice or more, a same-day pickup can work when the car is free.
Checking your details
You must be 18 or older and hold a valid Ontario G2 or G licence. From 26, no age fee applies; below it, a daily young driver fee does. At the handover we check your licence and the card in your name.
Before the keys change hands, one of three options must be in place for the car: OPCF 27, a card benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Deposits are listed car by car, so you can compare before you ask. Licence and identity checks happen before the booking is confirmed.
Talk to a person
The next step is yours: send a request whenever you are ready.
