RideAlike alternative: red 2021 Honda Civic EX in Farmbrook

RideAlike alternative: the 2021 Honda Civic EX

For a rental car, here is what the 2021 Honda Civic EX brings, and how to request one. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.

The Civic and Farmbrook

We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Farmbrook starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here. Farmbrook is about 509 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area.

Nearby places include Hannover, Crestwood Village and Mountain Village.

Under the hood

Power comes from the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through an automatic (CVT). The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

The EPA rates it at 6.9 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 21 litres. At our price setting, it costs about $10.70 to drive 100 km.

Living with the Civic

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. With 736 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Who it is for

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

In our fleet

If you want this one, say so in the request; we confirm before you pay. Meanwhile, 8 similar cars are listed below. There is no exact match in our fleet today. Request it and we search for one, or take a similar car.

Getting the car booked

You begin by requesting a car for your dates; the request is free. A staff member reads the request and sends the offer. We reply within 2 hours. If the offer works for you, approve and pay to confirm. If not, you owe nothing.

The photos on a car's page are of that car. For longer stays, each booking of up to 365 days renews with a new agreement. Pickups need at least 2 hours of notice from the time you send the request.

Before pickup

An Ontario G2 or G licence and an age of 18 or more: that is where it starts. A daily young driver fee applies to drivers under 26, with no maximum age. The card must be in the driver's name, and we check it with the licence in person.

For damage to the car itself, have your own policy (OPCF 27), a credit card with rental car coverage, or add the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is never taken when you book; it comes about 1 hour before pickup. We confirm each driver's licence and identity the same way.
