The 2012 Mazda MX-5: Loaner car

Here is the 2012 Mazda MX-5, for anyone after a car while yours is off the road. After a collision, your insurer may pay for the rental once your adjuster approves it. When your adjuster approves a rental, we can bill your insurance company directly.

Reading the spec sheet

The 2.0L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed manual. 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.

A combined rating of 9.7 L/100 km works out to about 29 litres per 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $16.97, and a 300 km weekend about $50.91.

What to expect from the MX-5

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

Best uses

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move.

Renting it

A request for your dates gets you an offer from a person. 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. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.

What to bring

We need every driver to be at least 18, with an Ontario G2 or G licence. Each day of the rental carries a young driver fee if a driver is under 26. At the handover we check your licence and the card in your name.

You need one of three things in place for damage to the car: OPCF 27 on your own policy, a credit card that covers rentals, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Your deposit is held for the rental and released after the car comes back and is checked. Each driver named on the booking signs the rental agreement.

Request, offer, keys

Every booking starts as a request: the car, the dates and where you want it. Nothing is charged to send one. We reply with an offer for the car and the dates, priced in full. Approve it and the car is booked; decline it and nothing happens.

The calendar on each car's page helps you pick dates that work. From one day to 365, a single booking covers it. Requests need at least 2 hours of notice before the pickup time.

Ready when you are

Pick the car that fits the trip and send a request.
