Short term car lease: Red Shift

The Red Shift: Short term car lease

For a car by the month, here is what the Red Shift brings, and how to request one. One booking runs up to 365 days and renews with a new agreement. There is no long contract: stop at the end of any booking.

What the specs mean

The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.

A good match for

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Send a request with the model you want, and we look for one for your dates. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.

Booking with CarmaCars

You start by asking: a car, a start time, an end time. Asking is free. Our offer spells out the rate, the delivery fee if any, and the deposit. The car is yours for those dates once you approve and pay the offer.

Every car on the site has a page of its own, with its calendar and its rates. From 7 days, the weekly rate takes over. Requests need at least 2 hours of notice before the pickup time.

Licence, age and card

We rent to drivers aged 18 and up who hold an Ontario G2 or G licence. A daily young driver fee applies to drivers under 26, with no maximum age. Debit works on cars marked "no credit card needed"; the others take a credit card.

Liability to others is in the rate. Damage to the car is handled by your policy (OPCF 27), your card's rental benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan, priced in your offer. The deposit comes about 1 hour before you get the car, not at booking. Every driver's licence and identity are checked before we confirm.
