Renting the 2012 Mazda 3
This 2012 Mazda 3 page is written for a rental car: the car first, then renting it from us. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.
The numbers in plain words
It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Its combined rating is 7.4 L/100 km, which means roughly 22 litres for 300 km. Expect about $11.47 per 100 km at our price setting.
Who it is for
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
What the 3 is like
As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The trunk holds 481 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.
In our fleet
A request for your dates gets you an offer from a person. This exact car is not in our fleet at the moment; a request asks us to look for one. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
What we need from you
We rent to drivers aged 18 and up who hold an Ontario G2 or G licence. From 26, no age fee applies; below it, a daily young driver fee does. We need to see the card and the licence of the person renting.
Every rate includes liability to others. Damage to the car is covered by your choice: OPCF 27, your card's rental benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Deposits differ by car. Each car's page shows its amount. Each driver named on the booking signs the rental agreement.
Booking with CarmaCars
Every rental begins with a request from you. It costs nothing and it does not hold the car. An offer follows, with the car we confirm and the full price for your dates. You decide: approve and pay, or let it go. No charge either way until you approve.
Prices on each car's page are before tax, and the offer adds the tax. For longer stays, each booking of up to 365 days renews with a new agreement. A request can be for today, as long as the pickup is at least 2 hours away.
Still deciding?
Choose a car above and send a request. A person replies with an offer, and you pay only if you approve it.
