Executive car service with this car

This page looks at the 2016 BMW i3 for anyone searching for executive car service. Chauffeur bookings are by the hour, two hours minimum; send a request and we reply with the vehicle we can offer and the price.

What the specs mean

Its 0.6L 2-cylinder hybrid drives through a 1-speed automatic. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

The EPA rates it at 6.0 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 18 litres. On electricity alone it is rated for about 241 km before the gas engine takes over. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $27.90 at our price setting.

Who the i3 suits

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Inside and out

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. With 425 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes a family's bags for a long weekend.

Getting this car from us

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. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.

Request, offer, keys

Choose the car and your times, then send a request. A request does not hold the car, and it costs nothing. We review it and reply with an offer that shows the whole price, delivery included when you asked for it. The car is yours for those dates once you approve and pay the offer.

The photos on a car's page are of that car. A booking can be a single day or up to 365 days. Requests for later the same day work when there are at least 2 hours to spare.

Licence, age and card

From age 18, with an Ontario G2 or G licence, you can send a request. A daily young driver fee applies to drivers under 26, with no maximum age. At the handover we check your licence and the card in your name.

Every rate includes third-party liability. The car itself needs one of three options: OPCF 27, a card benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Your deposit is held about 1 hour ahead of pickup and released after the return. Each driver named on the booking signs the rental agreement.

Your move

A request takes a few minutes and puts a real offer in front of you.

About $9.30 for fuel, from the EPA combined rating of 6.0 L/100 km (0.6L 2-cylinder hybrid, rear-wheel drive, 1-speed automatic) at $1.55 a litre. You return the car with the same fuel it had at pickup.
