The MX-5 and Java

If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Java. CarmaCars is based in Toronto, about 442 km from Java, and does not deliver there.

Places around Java include Frankfort, Sharples and Raab Corners.

Engine and fuel

Its powertrain is the 2.0L 4-cylinder with 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.

Its combined rating is 8.0 L/100 km, which means roughly 24 litres for 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $140 at our price setting.

What to expect from the MX-5

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

When the MX-5 makes sense

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

What happens when you ask for a car

Choose a car, set the pickup and return times, and send the request. You pay nothing to ask. A person replies with an offer priced for your dates, not an estimate. Approve it and the car is booked; decline it and nothing happens.

Rates are set car by car and shown on each car's page. One booking runs up to 365 days, and a longer stay renews with a new agreement. The minimum notice is 2 hours, so an afternoon pickup can be requested in the morning.

Who qualifies

Drivers from 18 up, with an Ontario G2 or G licence, are welcome. A young driver fee applies each day for drivers under 26. Bring the card in your name that paid for the booking.

If your own policy has OPCF 27 or your card covers rental cars, use that; otherwise add the CarmaCars Protection Plan. A deposit is held before each rental; the amount is on the car's page. Everyone who will drive signs the agreement after the licence check.

Ready when you are
