Specs, explained

The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder with rear-wheel drive and 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.

By the EPA's combined rating of 7.9 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 24 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $41.49 at our price setting.

Who rents the MX-5

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Space and size

As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. Our car of this kind seats 2.

Can you rent one?

Put this car and your dates in a request, and we reply with an offer. 1 of our cars match this page; each shows its rates and calendar.

From request to keys

You begin by requesting a car for your dates; the request is free. You get an offer that says exactly what the rental costs before tax. You pay when you approve, and only then.

A car's page shows the deposit and the kilometres included each day. A week or more is priced at the weekly rate, from 7 days. Pickups need at least 2 hours of notice from the time you send the request.

What we ask of drivers

You need to be 18 or older at pickup, with an Ontario G2 or G licence valid for the whole rental. Each day of the rental carries a young driver fee if a driver is under 26. Bring the card you paid with and your original licence to the handover.

Choose before pickup how damage to the car is handled: your policy with OPCF 27, your card's rental benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Expect a deposit before every rental; its amount is set by the car. Each renter is checked the same way, before the booking is confirmed.
