Luup alternative with this car
If a rental car is the plan, the 2005 Mazda RX-8 is worth a look; here is why. 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
Under the hood: the 1.3L 2-cylinder and 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.
At 13.1 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 39 litres of fuel. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $68.79 at our price setting.
Who it is for
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Room inside
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Its 227 litres of luggage space fit about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Getting one from us
Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. There is no exact match in our fleet today. Request it and we search for one, or take a similar car. A request for your dates gets you an offer from a person. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
What to bring
Every driver must be 18 or older with an Ontario G2 or G licence. We accept young drivers; those under 26 pay a daily fee. The card you pay with must be yours, and you bring it to the handover.
Third-party liability is part of every rate, and damage to the car is handled by OPCF 27, a card benefit or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. A deposit is held for every rental, about 1 hour before you get the car. Each driver named on the booking signs the rental agreement.
Requesting a car
First you send a request with the car and the times. No card is charged for it. Our offer spells out the rate, the delivery fee if any, and the deposit. You have 24 hours to approve an offer, and payment comes with your approval.
Every car lists its own deposit and the kilometres included each day. Trips of 7 days or more use the weekly rate, and shorter trips never cost more than it. With 2 hours of notice or more, a same-day pickup can work when the car is free.
Ask us
A request takes a few minutes and puts a real offer in front of you.

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.
