Loaner Car in Ruby

Ruby: renting made simple

Renting a car in Ruby does not have to mean a trip to a rental counter. CarmaCars brings the car to you. The key point: Need a car while yours is at the dealer or the shop? Rent one by the day or the week, delivered to you. After a collision, your insurer may pay when your adjuster approves the rental. The offer shows the full price before you pay anything.

Drives worth the kilometres

Algonquin Park, about 270 km by road, makes a good day out for lakes, trails and fall colours. Or try Blue Mountain, about 160 km, for skiing in winter and the village in summer. Extra kilometres are charged at the rate on the car's page, never a surprise rate. Any drive out of Ontario needs our written consent, arranged in advance.

The useful parts

A car to drive matters most when yours is in the shop; we bring it to you. Tell us the claim number and the adjuster in your request if the rental is part of a claim. You do not need to visit a branch: everything starts online. If plans change before you approve the offer, nothing is charged.

Where we hand over the car

At about 250 km from our location in Toronto, Ruby is well within our delivery area. Each car's page shows its delivery fee, and the offer shows the total before you pay.

You are also welcome to collect the car at our location for free. A walkaround at the handover records any marks before you drive away. Airport handovers are possible at Toronto Pearson International Airport and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, so the car can be waiting when you land.

When it makes sense

Anyone whose own car is booked in for service for a few days. People with family in town who need a second car for a while.

Know the area

Next door to Ruby are Zadow, Castile and Silver Lake.

Pembroke Airport (YTA) is the closest airport, about 38 km from Ruby. Snow is part of winter driving here; choose winter tires in your request when the car offers them.

Before you rent

Renters must be at least 18 and hold an Ontario G2 or G licence. Young drivers, under 26, can rent too, with a fee for each day. Bring the card you paid with and your original licence to the handover.

The CarmaCars Protection Plan is priced in your offer by car and driver age, as one of three options for damage to the car. The deposit is never taken when you book; it comes about 1 hour before pickup. A quick licence and identity check happens before we confirm any booking.

What happens when you ask for a car

You start by asking: a car, a start time, an end time. Asking is free. The reply is an offer you can read in full before you decide anything. Payment happens only after you accept the offer.

Each car has its own page with its photos, its rates and its calendar. Stay as long as you need: up to 365 days a booking, then renew. A pickup can be as soon as 2 hours after your request, when the car is free.
