Car subscription: the 1997 BMW Z3

This page looks at the 1997 BMW Z3 for anyone searching for car subscription. 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

Its 1.9L 4-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual. 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.

Combined fuel use is 10.0 L/100 km: about 30 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $17.50, and a 300 km weekend about $52.50.

Best uses

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Room inside

Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo. Length: 4.03 m. Parking on city streets is easy.

Can I rent it?

Similar cars are below if you need one sooner. Tell us your dates and we check this car or the closest match. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.

How it works

It begins with your request, sent online in a few minutes, with no payment. A person replies with an offer priced for your dates, not an estimate. When you approve the offer and pay, the car is booked for you.

Compare cars side by side by opening their pages. Rent for a day, a week or up to 365 days in one booking. A request can be for today, as long as the pickup is at least 2 hours away.

The rules, briefly

An Ontario G2 or G licence and an age of 18 or more: that is where it starts. A daily young driver fee applies to drivers under 26, with no maximum age. We need to see the card and the licence of the person renting.

Damage to the car is handled one of three ways: OPCF 27 on your policy, a credit card's rental car benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Each car shows its deposit, and we take it about 1 hour before pickup. We verify licences and identity for every renter, with no exceptions.

Ask us

Ask for the car, read the offer, approve it if it suits you.

How much does fuel cost to drive the 1997 BMW Z3 100 km?

About $17.50 for fuel, from the EPA combined rating of 10.0 L/100 km (1.9L 4-cylinder, rear-wheel drive, 5-speed manual) at $1.75 a litre for premium. You return the car with the same fuel it had at pickup.

How old do I need to be to rent?

18 or older at pickup, with an Ontario G2 or G licence valid for the whole rental. Drivers aged 18 to 20 pay a young driver fee of $35 a day, and 21 to 25 pay $20 a day.

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.

Can the car be delivered?
