Turo alternative: 2017 Volkswagen Jetta Highline in Java

Turo alternative with this car

For a rental car, here is what the 2017 Volkswagen Jetta Highline brings, and how to request one. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.

Java and the Jetta

Under the hood

The powertrain to know here is the 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo, 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 at 7.2 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 22 litres. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $33.48 at our price setting.

The Jetta in everyday use

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. EPA lists 453 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.

Good uses for the Jetta

It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Booking made plain

Choose the car and your times, then send a request. A request does not hold the car, and it costs nothing. A person replies with an offer priced for your dates, not an estimate. You pay when you approve, and only then.

Every car has its own daily, weekend, weekly and monthly rate. A week or more is priced at the weekly rate, from 7 days. Requests for later the same day work when there are at least 2 hours to spare.

What you need to rent

You must be 18 or older and hold a valid Ontario G2 or G licence. Each day of the rental carries a young driver fee if a driver is under 26. We check that the card and the licence carry the same name.

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. Deposits differ by car. Each car's page shows its amount. Extra drivers are welcome; each one is checked and signs the agreement.

One more step

When the dates are set, a request gets you a real price.
