Renting the 2012 Mazda MX-5
The 2012 Mazda MX-5 for a rental car: the facts first, then the booking. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.
The numbers in plain words
It is powered by the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. 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.
The EPA rates it at 9.7 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 29 litres. At our price setting, it costs about $16.97 to drive 100 km.
Space, size and seats
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
When the MX-5 makes sense
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

A short online request with the car and your times gets things moving, at no cost. Our offer spells out the rate, the delivery fee if any, and the deposit. Only an approved, paid offer books the car.
The photos on a car's page are of that car. For longer stays, each booking of up to 365 days renews with a new agreement. At least 2 hours must separate the request from the pickup.
Rules for renters
Ontario G2 or G licences are accepted, for drivers 18 and older. Under 26? You can rent, with a daily young driver fee shown on the car's page. We need to see the card and the licence of the person renting.
Third-party liability is in the rate; for the car, bring OPCF 27, use your card's benefit, or add the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Your deposit is held for the rental and released after the car comes back and is checked. If another person will drive, add them; they go through the same check.
