Luup alternative with this car

Here is the 2008 Mazda 3 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.

What the figures tell you

Its powertrain is the 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

It is rated 8.7 L/100 km combined: about 26 litres every 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $13.49 in fuel at our price setting.

Practical details

Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. EPA lists 481 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.

Who rents the 3

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Getting this car from us

Ask for this exact car in your request, and we tell you what we can offer. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.

Who can rent

Ontario G2 or G licences are accepted, for drivers 18 and older. If any driver is under 26, a young driver fee is added for each day. Your licence and the card you paid with come with you to the pickup.

Third-party liability comes with every rate. For the car itself: your own policy with OPCF 27, a card that covers rentals, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. We take the deposit shortly before pickup and return it after the car comes back. Each driver named on the booking signs the rental agreement.

How a booking comes together

Pick the car and the dates that suit you, then send a request. There is no payment at that point. We look at the request and send back an offer with the price for your exact dates. An offer is valid for 24 hours, and you pay only when you approve it.

Each listing shows the daily, weekly and monthly rate of that car. Book by the week from 7 days, or by the month up to 365 days. Allow 2 hours or more between your request and the pickup time.
