Renting the 1985 Ford Thunderbird
Here is the 1985 Ford Thunderbird, for anyone after a car by the month. 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.
Reading the spec sheet
Power: the 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo; drive: rear-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Rated at 12.4 L/100 km combined, it needs around 37 litres for a 300 km round trip. In money, 1,000 km costs about $192.20 at our price setting.
Practical details
As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. In plain terms, its 425 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who it is for
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Rent this car
Similar cars are below if you need one sooner. A request for your dates gets you an offer from a person. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Driver requirements
Our minimum age is 18; an Ontario G2 or G licence is required. If any driver is under 26, a young driver fee is added for each day. Your original licence, not a photo, comes with you to the handover.
Before pickup, choose how damage to the car is handled: your auto policy (OPCF 27), your credit card's rental benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit amount depends on the car and is shown on its page. Every renter goes through the same check of licence and identity before the car is confirmed.
How booking works
First you send a request with the car and the times. No card is charged for it. The offer comes from a person, not a robot, and it carries the full price. Payment happens only after you accept the offer.
A car's page shows the deposit and the kilometres included each day. From 7 days, the weekly rate applies; up to 365 days, a trip never costs more than the monthly rate. Leave at least 2 hours between your request and the pickup.
Make a request
Request a car, read the offer, and decide. That is the whole process.
