Rent a 2012 MINI Roadster in Toronto

The 2012 MINI Roadster, briefly

If you are looking at the 2012 MINI Roadster, here is what the figures say.

Under the hood

The engine is the 1.6L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and 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. With a manual gearbox, you change gears yourself.

Combined fuel use is 7.9 L/100 km: about 24 litres for 300 km. It uses 8.6 L/100 km in the city and 6.9 on the highway, by its rating. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $41.49 at our price setting. We count premium at $1.75 a litre for the cost figures on this page.

Living with the Roadster

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

Who the Roadster suits

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 family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Taking it further

For a trip out of Ontario, ask first: it needs our written consent. Each car shows the kilometres included each day and the rate for extra ones. Return the car with the same fuel it had at pickup.

Renting this car

Ask for this exact car in your request, and we tell you what we can offer. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.

Requesting a car

A short online request with the car and your times gets things moving, at no cost. You then get an offer from us with the car, the dates and the total before tax. If you approve, you pay and the car is yours for those dates.

The car pages show each car's rates, deposit and kilometres included. For longer stays, each booking of up to 365 days renews with a new agreement. Leave at least 2 hours between your request and the pickup.

Who can rent

Every driver needs an Ontario G2 or G licence and must be 18 or older. The daily young driver fee is shown on each car's page, for drivers under 26. A card in your name pays for the rental, and we see it with your licence at pickup.

Third-party liability is part of every rate, and damage to the car is handled by OPCF 27, a card benefit or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Each car's deposit is listed on its page, so you know it before you ask. Extra drivers are welcome; each one is checked and signs the agreement.

Ready when you are

Questions, dates or both: put them in a request and we answer.
