Collision replacement car: red 2018 Mazda MX-5 GS in Knobs

The 2018 Mazda MX-5 GS: Collision replacement car

Collision replacement car: the 2018 Mazda MX-5 GS. Here is the car in plain words, and how renting one from CarmaCars works. After a collision, your insurer may pay for the rental once your adjuster approves it. When your adjuster approves a rental, we can bill your insurance company directly.

Renting for Knobs

Knobs is about 692 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Knobs.

Other places near Knobs: Johnson Crossroads, Elmhurst and Union.

Reading the spec sheet

It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder and rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

The EPA rates it at 8.0 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 24 litres. A 300 km weekend costs about $42 in energy at our price setting.

When the MX-5 makes sense

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

The MX-5 in everyday use

As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.

Renting this car

Ask for your dates, and we reply with what we can offer. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now.

Getting the car booked

First, a request: the car you like, when you need it, and where. No payment yet. Our team answers with an offer: the confirmed car, the dates and the full price. If the offer works for you, approve and pay to confirm. If not, you owe nothing.

You can check any car's calendar before you send a request. The longer the booking, the lower the rate a day tends to be. Requests for later the same day work when there are at least 2 hours to spare.

Licence, age and card

You must be 18 or older and hold a valid Ontario G2 or G licence. Under 26, a young driver fee applies for each day of the rental. We need to see the card and the licence of the person renting.

You pick how damage to the car is handled before pickup: OPCF 27, a credit card benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit comes about 1 hour before you get the car, not at booking. If another person will drive, add them; they go through the same check.

One more step

When you have your dates, send a request. It is free, and the offer shows the full price.
