Rent a 2014 Mazda MX-5 in Toronto

The 2014 Mazda MX-5 in plain words

Here is what the 2014 Mazda MX-5 offered, in numbers and plain words.

Under the hood

The 2.0L 4-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference. It has a manual gearbox, so you need to be comfortable with a clutch.

A combined rating of 9.7 L/100 km works out to about 29 litres per 300 km. The split is 10.5 L/100 km in town and 8.6 on the highway. A 300 km weekend costs about $50.91 in energy at our price setting. We count premium at $1.75 a litre for the cost figures on this page.

The MX-5 in everyday use

As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.

Good uses for the MX-5

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

How far it goes

Return the car with the same fuel it had at pickup. Each car shows the kilometres included each day and the rate for extra ones. Plan longer trips against the kilometres included each day.

Rent it from us

Put this car and your dates in a request, and we reply with an offer. Similar cars are below if you need one sooner. This exact car is not in our fleet at the moment; a request asks us to look for one. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.

Renting: the basics

If you are 18 or over and hold an Ontario G2 or G licence, you can rent. There is no upper age limit, and drivers under 26 pay a fee for each day. A credit card in your name is needed, except on cars marked "no credit card needed", which take debit.

Third-party liability comes with every rate. For the car itself: your own policy with OPCF 27, a card that covers rentals, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Each car's deposit is listed on its page, so you know it before you ask. If another person will drive, add them; they go through the same check.

What to expect when you book

The first step is a free request: which car, which dates, and how you want to get it. A real person reviews your request and sends an offer with the price spelled out. 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. Trips of 7 days or more use the weekly rate, and shorter trips never cost more than it. Same-day requests are fine with at least 2 hours of notice, when the car is free.

Next step

Look through the cars, choose one, and send a request when it suits you.
