Renting the 1997 Lotus Esprit
Luup alternative: the 1997 Lotus Esprit. Here is the car in plain words, and how renting one from CarmaCars works. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.
Reading the spec sheet
The 3.5L 8-cylinder turbo 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.
The EPA rates it at 14.7 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 44 litres. At our price setting, it costs about $25.73 to drive 100 km.
Practical details
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Our Esprit cars
Tell us your dates and we check this car or the closest match. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
How it works
Requests are free: choose a car, add your dates, and send it. The reply is an offer you can read in full before you decide anything. Approve the offer to book the car. That is the moment you pay, not before.
Each car's calendar shows the days it is already booked. One booking runs up to 365 days, and a longer stay renews with a new agreement. With 2 hours of notice or more, a same-day pickup can work when the car is free.
Rules for renters
You need to be 18 or older at pickup, with an Ontario G2 or G licence valid for the whole rental. Young drivers are welcome: a daily fee applies under 26. Bring the card in your name that paid for the booking.
For damage to the car itself, have your own policy (OPCF 27), a credit card with rental car coverage, or add the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Your deposit is held for the rental and released after the car comes back and is checked. We verify licences and identity for every renter, with no exceptions.
