Renting for Haystack

Haystack is about 3,647 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 Haystack.

Around Haystack you will also find Petaluma, Lakeville and Penngrove.

Under the hood

The 2.0L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 6-speed automatic. 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.

The EPA rates it at 7.8 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 23 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $13.65 at our price setting.

Is it right for your trip?

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 to expect from the MX-5

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

Renting it

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

Checking your details

You need an Ontario G2 or G licence, valid for the whole rental, and to be 18 or older. Age fees stop at 26: younger drivers pay a daily young driver fee. Bring the card in your name that paid for the booking.

If you have no auto policy and no card benefit, the CarmaCars Protection Plan is the third option, priced in your offer. The deposit is released after the return, once the car is checked. Extra drivers are welcome; each one is checked and signs the agreement.

How booking works

Start with a request. Choose the car, the pickup time and the return time, and send it without paying anything. A real person reviews your request and sends an offer with the price spelled out. You decide: approve and pay, or let it go. No charge either way until you approve.

The rates you see on a car's page are the rates in your offer. One booking runs up to 365 days, and a longer stay renews with a new agreement. Same-day requests are fine with at least 2 hours of notice, when the car is free.

When you know your dates

A request costs nothing, and the offer tells you everything.
