Convertible rental: orange 2021 Tesla Model 3 Performance in Ruby

The 2021 Tesla Model 3 Performance: Convertible rental

If a convertible is the plan, the 2021 Tesla Model 3 Performance is worth a look; here is why.

The Model 3 and Ruby

CarmaCars is based in Toronto, about 250 km from Ruby, and does not deliver there. We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Ruby starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here.

Neighbouring areas include Zadow, Castile and Silver Lake.

Under the hood

Under the hood: the electric motor and all-wheel drive. It is fully electric: no gas at all, and you return it with the charge it had at pickup. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

It uses 18.6 kWh per 100 km, so 300 km takes about 56 kWh of charge. The EPA rates its range at 507 km. Winter cold and fast highway driving cut that down. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $27.90.

Who it is for

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Inside and out

Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. At 425 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.

Getting one from us

None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Meanwhile, 7 similar cars are listed below. Ask for this exact car in your request, and we tell you what we can offer.

What to expect when you book

The first step is a free request: which car, which dates, and how you want to get it. We look at the request and send back an offer with the price for your exact dates. Nothing is charged until you approve it and pay.

Each car's calendar shows the days it is already booked. Bookings run from one day up to 365 days at a time. Give us 2 hours or more before the pickup and we can usually make it work.

What we need from you

You need to be 18 or older at pickup, with an Ontario G2 or G licence valid for the whole rental. The daily young driver fee is shown on each car's page, for drivers under 26. A card in your name pays for the rental, and we see it with your licence at pickup.

Liability to other people is included in every rate. For the car itself, pick your own policy (OPCF 27), a card with rental car benefits, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is never taken when you book; it comes about 1 hour before pickup. We check every driver; it takes a few minutes and protects everyone.

Questions first?

Ask for the car, read the offer, approve it if it suits you.
