Car subscription with this car
Car subscription: the 1998 Kia Sephia. Here is the car in plain words, and how renting one from CarmaCars works. 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
The 1.8L 4-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The combined figure, 9.8 L/100 km, means roughly 29 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $45.57 in energy at our price setting.
What the Sephia is like
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. With 283 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who the Sephia suits
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Getting this car from us
Similar cars are below if you need one sooner. Your request can name this exact car; the offer confirms what we can give you. Request this exact car: a request asks us to look for one for your dates. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Who can rent
Every driver needs an Ontario G2 or G licence and must be 18 or older. The daily young driver fee is shown on each car's page, for drivers under 26. At the handover we check your licence and the card in your name.
If your own policy has OPCF 27 or your card covers rental cars, use that; otherwise add the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit amount depends on the car and is shown on its page. The checks are the same for everyone: licence, identity and the agreement.

The photos on a car's page are of that car. Short trips and long stays use the same request; the rate follows the length. Requests for later the same day work when there are at least 2 hours to spare.
