The short answer for La Mesa

To be clear: CarmaCars rents cars in the Toronto area, not in La Mesa. Our deliveries stop at about 250 km from Toronto; La Mesa is roughly 3,480 km away.

Flying to La Mesa from Toronto? We can meet you at Toronto Pearson with a car when you land back. A rental can leave Ontario only with our written consent, agreed before you go. Write to us with the dates and the place, and we will give you a straight answer. Note that our prices are shown in Canadian dollars.

Common reasons to rent

Drivers who want to try a different kind of car for a week. People whose car is in the shop, people visiting family, and people trying a model before they buy.

What you get

Rent by the day, the week or the month, with the same simple request each time. Every car is a real listing with its own rates, so you compare before you ask. Rates are before 13% HST, and the offer shows the tax too. Prices are shown car by car, and the offer lists every charge.

Before pickup

An Ontario G2 or G licence and an age of 18 or more are the starting point. We accept young drivers; those under 26 pay a daily fee. At the handover we check your licence and the card in your name.

Three options cover damage to the car: OPCF 27 on your auto policy, a credit card with rental car benefits, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. A deposit is held before each rental; the amount is on the car's page. A quick licence and identity check happens before we confirm any booking.

The booking steps

Send a request for the car and dates you have in mind. It is free and it commits you to nothing. We answer with a written offer: the car, the dates, the price and the deposit. Pay when you approve, not a minute before.

Each car has its own page with its photos, its rates and its calendar. From 7 days, the weekly rate applies; up to 365 days, a trip never costs more than the monthly rate. With 2 hours of notice or more, a same-day pickup can work when the car is free.

At pickup, bring your original licence and the card you paid with.

Book at least 2 hours before pickup, for delivery to La Mesa or pickup in Toronto.
