Renting the 1997 Lexus SC

Here is the 1997 Lexus SC from the angle of someone searching for Luup alternative. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.

Under the hood

Its powertrain is the 3.0L 6-cylinder 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.

Expect about 37 litres for every 300 km, going by its 12.4 L/100 km combined rating. Driving 300 km costs roughly $65.10 at our price setting.

Space and size

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. For luggage, 255 litres means about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.

A good match for

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Renting the SC from CarmaCars

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. Similar cars are below if you need one sooner. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.

Before pickup

We need every driver to be at least 18, with an Ontario G2 or G licence. A young driver fee applies each day for drivers under 26. A card in the driver's own name is required at the handover.

Every rate includes third-party liability. The car itself needs one of three options: OPCF 27, a card benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is separate from the rental price and is returned after the rental. We confirm each driver's licence and identity the same way.

What to expect when you book

Booking is by request, never instant. You send the car and the dates, and a person at CarmaCars reviews it. Our offer spells out the rate, the delivery fee if any, and the deposit. Your card is charged only when you approve the offer.

Each car page lists what is included and what costs extra. A booking can be a single day or up to 365 days. We need at least 2 hours of notice before a pickup.

Ready when you are

Pick the car that fits the trip and send a request.
