Who rents the Protege
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Size and space
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city.
Rent it for a week first
A week with the Protege answers more than any brochure. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Try the Protege on your commute, then decide.
Narrowing it down
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
