From the EPA combined rating at $1.75 a litre for premium (our current Toronto price setting). You return the car with the same fuel it had at pickup, so this is what you pay for the driving.

About the 2003 MINI Cooper

This page joins two things: RideAlike alternative, and the 2003 MINI Cooper in plain words. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.

Specs, explained

The powertrain here is the 1.6L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Plan on about 25 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 8.4 L/100 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $14.70, and a 300 km weekend about $44.10.

Who the Cooper suits

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Practical details

As a sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. Its 198 litres of luggage space fit about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.

Renting it

Tell us your dates and we check this car or the closest match. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. There is no exact match in our fleet today. Request it and we search for one, or take a similar car. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.

What to expect when you book

A request is free and takes a few minutes: the car, your dates, and pickup or delivery. We confirm the details and send an offer. It lists the rental, any delivery and any add-ons. Your card is charged only when you approve the offer.

Every car has its own daily, weekend, weekly and monthly rate. Need it longer than 365 days? Renew with a new agreement when the booking ends. Give us 2 hours or more before the pickup and we can usually make it work.

What we ask of drivers

Ontario G2 or G licences are accepted, for drivers 18 and older. The daily young driver fee is shown on each car's page, for drivers under 26. We check that the card and the licence carry the same name.

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. Each car shows its deposit, and we take it about 1 hour before pickup. Each extra driver is checked the same way and signs the rental agreement.

Over to you

Send a request with your dates, and we will come back with an offer.
