About the 2001 Lotus Esprit
This page looks at the 2001 Lotus Esprit for anyone 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.
The numbers in plain words
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.
It is rated 12.4 L/100 km combined: about 37 litres every 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $217 at our price setting.
Good uses for the Esprit
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Size and space
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Renting this car
A request for your dates gets you an offer from a person. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Request, offer, keys
First you send a request with the car and the times. No card is charged for it. Our reply is an offer that lists the rate, the kilometres included and any delivery fee. Approve it and the car is booked; decline it and nothing happens.
Each car page lists what is included and what costs extra. For longer stays, each booking of up to 365 days renews with a new agreement. At least 2 hours must separate the request from the pickup.
Driver basics
Every driver needs an Ontario G2 or G licence and must be 18 or older. Each day of the rental carries a young driver fee if a driver is under 26. A credit card in your name is needed, except on cars marked "no credit card needed", which take debit.
The CarmaCars Protection Plan is priced in your offer by car and driver age, as one of three options for damage to the car. Deposits differ by car. Each car's page shows its amount. Before confirming, we verify the licence and identity of each driver.
Next step
If a car here fits, request it for your dates.
