Courtesy car: 2021 Tesla Model 3 Performance in Downs

Renting the 2021 Tesla Model 3 Performance

Courtesy car: the 2021 Tesla Model 3 Performance. Here is the car in plain words, and how renting one from CarmaCars works. 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.

A note on Downs

Downs is about 1,398 km from our Toronto location, beyond the area we deliver to. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Downs.

Engine and fuel

Power comes from the electric motor, driving through a 1-speed automatic. It is fully electric: no gas at all, and you return it with the charge it had at pickup. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

At 18.6 kWh/100 km, a 300 km day uses roughly 56 kWh. On paper it goes 507 km between charges, less in winter. That works out to about $2.79 per 100 km at our price setting.

Best uses

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Inside and out

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The EPA lists 425 litres for luggage, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.

In our fleet

A request for your dates gets you an offer from a person. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates.

Booking in plain terms

You ask for the car you want for the dates you need. The request itself is free. Someone on our team confirms the car is free for those dates and sends you an offer with every charge listed. Approve the offer to book the car. That is the moment you pay, not before.

The car pages show each car's rates, deposit and kilometres included. A week or more is priced at the weekly rate, from 7 days. A request can be for today, as long as the pickup is at least 2 hours away.

Rules for renters

If you are 18 or over and hold an Ontario G2 or G licence, you can rent. No maximum age, and a daily fee only for drivers under 26. Debit works on cars marked "no credit card needed"; the others take a credit card.

If your own policy has OPCF 27 or your card covers rental cars, use that; otherwise add the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is separate from the rental price and is returned after the rental. If another person will drive, add them; they go through the same check.
