Luup alternative: the 1985 Lotus Esprit

The 1985 Lotus Esprit for a rental car: the facts first, then the booking. 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

The 2.2L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

Rated at 16.8 L/100 km combined, it needs around 50 litres for a 300 km round trip. At our price setting, it costs about $26.04 to drive 100 km.

How big it is

Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.

Can I rent it?

Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. 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. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.

Before you rent

At pickup you must be 18 or older and carry your original G2 or G licence. Drivers under 26 pay a young driver fee for each day, shown on each car's page. The card must be in the driver's name, and we check it with the licence in person.

Third-party liability is included in the rate. For damage to the car, you choose one of three options before pickup. The deposit is taken shortly before pickup, and the balance comes back after the return. Every renter goes through the same check of licence and identity before the car is confirmed.

Your booking, in three steps

Every rental begins with a request from you. It costs nothing and it does not hold the car. We confirm and price it, and the offer arrives in your account and by email. You have 24 hours to approve an offer, and payment comes with your approval.

Each car shows its rate for a day, a weekend day, a week and a month. The monthly rate covers a booking of up to 365 days. Last-minute plans are fine with at least 2 hours of notice.

Ask for the car, read the offer, approve it if it suits you.

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.

Licence: an Ontario G2 and G licence, valid for the whole rental. A licence from another province or country, an international one with its permit included, is accepted on a request and checked by a person before we confirm.

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.
