Renting the 1985 Ford Thunderbird
Collision replacement car and the 1985 Ford Thunderbird: 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.
The figures, translated
Its 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo drives through a 5-speed manual. 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.
Expect about 37 litres for every 300 km, going by its 12.4 L/100 km combined rating. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $57.66 at our price setting.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
What to expect from the Thunderbird
As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. For luggage, 425 litres means a family's bags for a long weekend.
Renting it
Want a car for specific dates? Put them in the request and we check. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. This exact car is not in our fleet at the moment; a request asks us to look for one. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
The rules, briefly
We rent to drivers aged 18 and up who hold an Ontario G2 or G licence. If any driver is under 26, a young driver fee is added for each day. The payment card and the licence must match the driver's name.
If your own policy has OPCF 27 or your card covers rental cars, use that; otherwise add the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Expect a deposit before every rental; its amount is set by the car. If another person will drive, add them; they go through the same check.
The steps
A request is free and takes a few minutes: the car, your dates, and pickup or delivery. A person checks the request and sends you an offer with the full price. An offer is valid for 24 hours, and you pay only when you approve it.
The car pages show each car's rates, deposit and kilometres included. Book by the week from 7 days, or by the month up to 365 days. The shortest notice we accept before a pickup is 2 hours.
Talk to a person
Pick a car, send a request, and decide once you see the offer.
