Turo alternative: blue 2018 Nissan Kicks SR in Java

The 2018 Nissan Kicks SR: Turo alternative

Turo alternative: the 2018 Nissan Kicks SR. Here is the car in plain words, and how renting one from CarmaCars works. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.

Renting for Java

We have no location in Java; CarmaCars rents from Toronto, about 1,639 km away. We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Java starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here.

Selby, Lowry and Sitka are the closest places to Java on our list.

The numbers in plain words

The powertrain to know here is the 1.6L 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.

Plan on about 22 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.2 L/100 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $33.48 in energy at our price setting.

Inside and out

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. EPA lists 708 litres of luggage space, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Good uses for the Kicks

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

In our fleet

This exact car is not in our fleet at the moment; a request asks us to look for one. Similar cars are below if you need one sooner. A request for your dates gets you an offer from a person.

Booking, step by step

A short online request with the car and your times gets things moving, at no cost. We answer with a written offer: the car, the dates, the price and the deposit. Approve the offer to book the car. That is the moment you pay, not before.

Each car shows its own extra kilometre rate, so nothing surprises you later. Bookings run from one day up to 365 days at a time. At least 2 hours must separate the request from the pickup.

The rules, briefly

Every driver must be 18 or older with an Ontario G2 or G licence. Young drivers are welcome: a daily fee applies under 26. Bring a card in your name; a card in someone else's name cannot be used.

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. We hold the deposit shortly before pickup and release it after the return. Each renter is checked the same way, before the booking is confirmed.

Let us know
