About the 2012 Nissan Frontier
Here is the 2012 Nissan Frontier, for anyone after a rental car. 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 specs mean
Under the hood: the 2.5L 4-cylinder and rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
The combined figure, 11.3 L/100 km, means roughly 34 litres for 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $175.20 at our price setting.
Best uses
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Size and space
As a pickup truck, it has an open bed for things that would never fit in a trunk.
Can you rent one?
Your request can name this exact car; the offer confirms what we can give you. We have none on the site right now. Send a request for this exact car and we look for one for your dates. Similar cars are below if you need one sooner. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Licence, age and card
The minimum age is 18, and the licence must be an Ontario G2 or G, valid for the whole trip. If you are under 26, expect a young driver fee each day; there is no upper age limit. The name on the card has to match the name on the licence.
The CarmaCars Protection Plan is one of three options for damage to the car; the others are OPCF 27 on your policy or a card with rental car benefits. A deposit is held for every rental, about 1 hour before you get the car. A quick licence and identity check happens before we confirm any booking.
What to expect when you book
First you send a request with the car and the times. No card is charged for it. We confirm the details and send an offer. It lists the rental, any delivery and any add-ons. The booking is confirmed when you approve the offer and pay it.
The calendar on each car's page helps you pick dates that work. From 7 days, the weekly rate takes over. At least 2 hours must separate the request from the pickup.

Third-party liability coverage is included in every rate. For damage to the car you need one of these before pickup: OPCF 27 on your own auto policy, Your credit card’s rental coverage and The CarmaCars Protection Plan. A claim on our fleet policy costs you the $2,500 deductible.
The deposit is a hold on your card, $500 to $5,000 depending on the car, never a charge.
At pickup, bring your original licence and the card you paid with.
Book at least 2 hours before pickup.
