Luup alternative and the 2003 Lotus Esprit

Luup alternative and the 2003 Lotus Esprit: the figures first, then how to rent it from CarmaCars. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.

Engine and fuel

Power comes from the 3.5L 8-cylinder turbo, driving through a 5-speed manual. 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.

Plan on about 44 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 14.7 L/100 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $77.19 at our price setting.

Space, size and seats

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

Best uses

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Getting one from us

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. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.

Licence, age and card

Our minimum age is 18; an Ontario G2 or G licence is required. No maximum age, and a daily fee only for drivers under 26. Your licence and the card you paid with come with you to the pickup.

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. The deposit is never taken when you book; it comes about 1 hour before pickup. Every driver's licence and identity are checked before we confirm.

Each car has its own page with its photos, its rates and its calendar. From 7 days, the weekly rate takes over. Pickups need at least 2 hours of notice from the time you send the request.
