About the 1985 Ford Thunderbird
For a rental car, the 1985 Ford Thunderbird could fit; below, the figures and how booking works. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.
What the figures tell you
The engine is the 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Plan on about 37 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 12.4 L/100 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $57.66 at our price setting.
Space and size
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Its 425 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

How a booking comes together
You begin by requesting a car for your dates; the request is free. Our reply is an offer that lists the rate, the kilometres included and any delivery fee. Nothing is charged until you approve it and pay.
The rates you see on a car's page are the rates in your offer. Need it longer than 365 days? Renew with a new agreement when the booking ends. A pickup can be as soon as 2 hours after your request, when the car is free.
What to have ready
At pickup you must be 18 or older and carry your original G2 or G licence. We accept young drivers; those under 26 pay a daily fee. The card must be in the driver's name, and we check it with the licence in person.
Damage to the car is handled one of three ways: OPCF 27 on your policy, a credit card's rental car benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Each car's deposit is listed on its page, so you know it before you ask. Extra drivers are welcome; each one is checked and signs the agreement.
