Renting the 2016 BMW i8

Collision replacement car and the 2016 BMW i8: the figures first, then how to rent it from CarmaCars. 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.

What the specs mean

It runs the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo hybrid, with all-wheel drive. 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.

It is rated at 8.3 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 25 litres. On electricity alone it is rated for about 531 km before the gas engine takes over. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $12.87 at our price setting.

Space and size

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The EPA measures its luggage space at 142 litres, roughly about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.

Who the i8 suits

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Renting the i8 from CarmaCars

If you want this one, say so in the request; we confirm before you pay. Similar cars are below if you need one sooner. 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.

Requesting a car

Booking is by request, never instant. You send the car and the dates, and a person at CarmaCars reviews it. We answer with a written offer: the car, the dates, the price and the deposit. You have 24 hours to approve an offer, and payment comes with your approval.

Each car shows its own extra kilometre rate, so nothing surprises you later. A week or more is priced at the weekly rate, from 7 days. Give us 2 hours or more before the pickup and we can usually make it work.

What you need to rent

You need an Ontario G2 or G licence, valid for the whole rental, and to be 18 or older. The young driver fee covers drivers under 26; older drivers pay no age fee. At the handover we check your licence and the card in your name.

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. Each renter is checked the same way, before the booking is confirmed.
