RideAlike alternative: the 2012 MINI Cooper

The 2012 MINI Cooper is on this page for RideAlike alternative: here is what to know before you 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.

What the specs mean

The 1.6L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. 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 23 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.6 L/100 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $13.30 at our price setting.

What the Cooper is like

As a sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. EPA lists 170 litres of luggage space, enough for about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.

Who the Cooper suits

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Getting this car from us

Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. This exact car is not in our fleet at the moment; a request asks us to look for one. Ask for this exact car in your request, and we tell you what we can offer. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.

Licence, age and card

You must be 18 or older and hold a valid Ontario G2 or G licence. There is no maximum age. Drivers under 26 pay a young driver fee each day. A credit card in your name is needed, except on cars marked "no credit card needed", which take debit.

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. Deposits are listed car by car, so you can compare before you ask. Before confirming, we verify the licence and identity of each driver.

What happens when you ask for a car

Requests come first at CarmaCars. You name the car and the dates, and we take it from there. The reply is an offer you can read in full before you decide anything. Say yes to the offer and pay; that is when the booking is made.

The car pages show each car's rates, deposit and kilometres included. Book one day, one week, or up to 365 days at once. We need at least 2 hours of notice before a pickup.

Let us know
