Car subscription and the 2014 BMW i8
Renting the 2014 BMW i8 as a car by the month works like any rental with us: a free request, an offer, then the keys. One booking runs up to 365 days and renews with a new agreement. There is no long contract: stop at the end of any booking.
Engine and fuel
Under the hood: the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo hybrid and all-wheel drive. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
Fuel use is rated 8.3 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 25 litres. On electricity alone it is rated for about 531 km before the gas engine takes over. At our price setting, it costs about $12.87 to drive 100 km.
What to expect from the i8
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The trunk holds 142 litres by the EPA's count: about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Who the i8 suits
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits short daily drives on electricity with gas for longer trips.
Renting the i8 from CarmaCars
A request for your dates gets you an offer from a person. We have none on the site right now. Send a request for this exact car and we look for one for your dates. Similar cars are below if you need one sooner. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
What we ask of drivers
Drivers from 18 up, with an Ontario G2 or G licence, are welcome. From 26, no age fee applies; below it, a daily young driver fee does. A card in the driver's own name is required at the handover.
Three options cover damage to the car: OPCF 27 on your auto policy, a credit card with rental car benefits, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. 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.
Booking, step by step
Every booking starts as a request: the car, the dates and where you want it. Nothing is charged to send one. A person replies with an offer priced for your dates, not an estimate. Nothing is charged until you approve it and pay.
Every car lists its own deposit and the kilometres included each day. The monthly rate covers a booking of up to 365 days. Leave at least 2 hours between your request and the pickup.
Ask us
Questions, dates or both: put them in a request and we answer.

About $12.87 for fuel, from the EPA combined rating of 8.3 L/100 km (1.5L 3-cylinder turbo hybrid, all-wheel drive, 6-speed automatic) at $1.55 a litre. You return the car with the same fuel it had at pickup.
How old do I need to be to rent?

Third-party liability is included in the rate. For damage to the car itself, have your own policy (OPCF 27), a credit card with rental car coverage, or add the CarmaCars Protection Plan, priced in your offer by car and driver age. At $2,500 or more we claim on our fleet policy and you pay the $2,500 deductible.
