About the 2012 Mazda 3
If a car while yours is off the road is the plan, the 2012 Mazda 3 is worth a look; here is why. 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 figures tell you
The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Fuel use is rated 7.4 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 22 litres. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $11.47.
Space and size
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. At 481 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.
When the 3 makes sense
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Getting one from us
We have none on the site right now. Send a request for this exact car and we look for one for your dates. Similar cars are below if you need one sooner. Put this car and your dates in a request, and we reply with an offer. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
How a booking comes together
Send a request for the car and dates you have in mind. It is free and it commits you to nothing. Our offer spells out the rate, the delivery fee if any, and the deposit. Your card is charged only when you approve the offer.
You can see every car's calendar and rates before you send anything. Need it longer than 365 days? Renew with a new agreement when the booking ends. Short notice is fine: 2 hours is the minimum before a pickup.
Licence, age and card
At pickup you must be 18 or older and carry your original G2 or G licence. Young drivers are welcome: a daily fee applies under 26. Bring the card you paid with and your original licence to the handover.
Liability to others is in the rate. Damage to the car is handled by your policy (OPCF 27), your card's rental benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan, priced in your offer. Expect a deposit before every rental; its amount is set by the car. Name every driver in your request, and each is checked before pickup.
