Renting the 2015 BMW i8
For a car by the month, here is what the 2015 BMW i8 brings, and how to request one. There is no long contract: stop at the end of any booking. One booking runs up to 365 days and renews with a new agreement.
Specs, explained
The 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo hybrid, paired with a 6-speed automatic, drives it. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
Its combined rating is 8.3 L/100 km, which means roughly 25 litres for 300 km. On electricity alone it is rated for about 531 km before the gas engine takes over. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $128.70.
What to expect from the i8
As a small car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. For luggage, 142 litres means about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Who rents the i8
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Requesting a car
Start with a request. Choose the car, the pickup time and the return time, and send it without paying anything. We confirm and price it, and the offer arrives in your account and by email. Only an approved, paid offer books the car.
Each listing shows the daily, weekly and monthly rate of that car. From 7 days, the weekly rate applies; up to 365 days, a trip never costs more than the monthly rate. The minimum notice is 2 hours, so an afternoon pickup can be requested in the morning.
What to bring
Drivers 18 and older can rent with a valid Ontario G2 or G licence. There is no upper age limit, and drivers under 26 pay a fee for each day. Your licence and the card you paid with come with you to the pickup.
Third-party liability is in the rate; for the car, bring OPCF 27, use your card's benefit, or add the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Expect a deposit before every rental; its amount is set by the car. Every driver's licence and identity are checked before we confirm.
