Van rental: 2021 Chevrolet Malibu LS in Java

The 2021 Chevrolet Malibu LS: Van rental

If a van or a seven-seat car is the plan, the 2021 Chevrolet Malibu LS is worth a look; here is why. Seven seats or more take a whole group in one vehicle.

The Malibu and Java

CarmaCars is based in Toronto, about 1,072 km from Java, and does not deliver there. We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Java starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here.

Close by are Tara Village, South Side and Howe, each with its own page.

Specs, explained

Its 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo drives through an automatic (CVT). The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Expect about 22 litres for every 300 km, going by its 7.3 L/100 km combined rating. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $11.32.

What the Malibu is like

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Luggage space is rated at 368 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

When the Malibu makes sense

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Can you rent one?

From your dates to the handover

To book, you request the car for your dates. There is no charge to send it and no obligation. 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.

Rates are set car by car and shown on each car's page. The longer the booking, the lower the rate a day tends to be. Requests need at least 2 hours of notice before the pickup time.

What we check

You need to be 18 or older at pickup, with an Ontario G2 or G licence valid for the whole rental. If any driver is under 26, a young driver fee is added for each day. We need to see the card and the licence of the person renting.

Every rate includes third-party liability. The car itself needs one of three options: OPCF 27, a card benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. We take the deposit shortly before pickup and return it after the car comes back. Everyone who will drive signs the agreement after the licence check.
