About the 2018 BMW i3

For a car while yours is off the road, the 2018 BMW i3 is one of many cars on CarmaCars, each with its own page. When your adjuster approves a rental, we can bill your insurance company directly. After a collision, your insurer may pay for the rental once your adjuster approves it.

Under the hood

Its powertrain is the 0.6L 2-cylinder hybrid with rear-wheel drive. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

Plan on about 20 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 6.8 L/100 km. It can cover about 290 km on electricity before switching to gas. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $105.40.

Who the i3 suits

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

Room inside

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its 425 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.

Renting it

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. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.

Licence, age and card

From age 18, with an Ontario G2 or G licence, you can send a request. We accept young drivers; those under 26 pay a daily fee. Your original licence, not a photo, comes with you to the handover.

Before the keys change hands, one of three options must be in place for the car: OPCF 27, a card benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. A deposit is held before each rental; the amount is on the car's page. Each extra driver is checked the same way and signs the rental agreement.

Booking in plain terms

Choose the car and your times, then send a request. A request does not hold the car, and it costs nothing. Our reply is an offer that lists the rate, the kilometres included and any delivery fee. If it suits you, approve it and pay. Until then, nothing is charged.

The rates you see on a car's page are the rates in your offer. Rent for a day, a week or up to 365 days in one booking. The minimum notice is 2 hours, so an afternoon pickup can be requested in the morning.

Still deciding?

A request takes a few minutes and puts a real offer in front of you.
