The 2008 MINI Cooper, explained
Here is the 2008 MINI Cooper, with its figures explained in plain words.
The numbers in plain words
The 1.6L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 6-speed manual. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow. It has a manual gearbox, so you need to be comfortable with a clutch.
Plan on about 22 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.4 L/100 km. In the city it is rated at 8.4 L/100 km, and on the highway 6.4. Expect about $12.95 per 100 km at our price setting. We count premium at $1.75 a litre for the cost figures on this page.
Road trips
Each car shows the kilometres included each day and the rate for extra ones. Trips outside Ontario need our written consent, agreed before you go. Return the car with the fuel it had at pickup, or a fee applies.
A good match for
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
The Cooper in everyday use
As a sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. For luggage, 170 litres means about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Getting this car from us
A request for your dates gets you an offer from a person. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Requirements
You must be 18 or older and hold a valid Ontario G2 or G licence. Drivers below 26 pay a fee each day of the rental, and older drivers pay none. The card you pay with must be yours, and you bring it 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. Each car shows its deposit, and we take it about 1 hour before pickup. Each extra driver is checked the same way and signs the rental agreement.
From request to keys
Booking is by request, never instant. You send the car and the dates, and a person at CarmaCars reviews it. Our offer spells out the rate, the delivery fee if any, and the deposit. Approve it and the car is booked; decline it and nothing happens.
The car pages show each car's rates, deposit and kilometres included. Bookings run from one day up to 365 days at a time. Last-minute plans are fine with at least 2 hours of notice.
Next step
Send a request with your dates, and we will come back with an offer.
