The 2008 Saab 9-3: Luup alternative
If a rental car is the plan, the 2008 Saab 9-3 is worth a look; here is why. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.
What the figures tell you
The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Combined fuel use is 10.4 L/100 km: about 31 litres for 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $54.60 at our price setting.
Room inside
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Luggage space is 850 litres, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who the 9-3 suits
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Renting the 9-3 from CarmaCars
A request for your dates gets you an offer from a person. We have none on the site right now. Send a request for this exact car and we look for one for your dates. Similar cars are below if you need one sooner. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
What we check
You need an Ontario G2 or G licence, valid for the whole rental, and to be 18 or older. Each day of the rental carries a young driver fee if a driver is under 26. Your original licence, not a photo, comes with you to the handover.
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. The deposit is separate from the rental price and is returned after the rental. Before confirming, we verify the licence and identity of each driver.
Booking with CarmaCars
First you send a request with the car and the times. No card is charged for it. If the car is free, you get an offer with the full price; if not, we suggest another car. The booking is confirmed when you approve the offer and pay it.
Each car shows its rate for a day, a weekend day, a week and a month. Weekly pricing starts at 7 days, and a trip never costs more than that rate for a week. Give us 2 hours or more before the pickup and we can usually make it work.
Still deciding?
Ask for the car, read the offer, approve it if it suits you.
