The 2012 Toyota Highlander: Luup alternative
Here is the 2012 Toyota Highlander, for anyone after a rental car. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.
The figures, translated
Under the hood: the 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid and all-wheel drive. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
Plan on about 26 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 8.5 L/100 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $131.80 at our price setting.
When the Highlander makes sense
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.
How big it is
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
Can I rent it?
Your request can name this exact car; the offer confirms what we can give you. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. We have none on the site right now. Send a request for this exact car and we look for one for your dates. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Renting: the basics
Drivers need to be 18 or over, holding an Ontario G2 or G licence for the whole rental. We accept young drivers; those under 26 pay a daily fee. Cars marked "no credit card needed" accept a debit card in your name; the others need a credit card.
You pick how damage to the car is handled before pickup: OPCF 27, a credit card benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. We hold the deposit shortly before pickup and release it after the return. We confirm each driver's licence and identity the same way.
Booking in plain terms
The first step is a free request: which car, which dates, and how you want to get it. A person checks the request and sends you an offer with the full price. Your card is charged only when you approve the offer.
Every car lists its own deposit and the kilometres included each day. From 7 days, the weekly rate takes over. With 2 hours of notice or more, a same-day pickup can work when the car is free.
