The BMW i8: Turo alternative

This page joins two things: Turo alternative, and the BMW i8 in plain words. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.

Specs, explained

No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Size and space

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with.

In our fleet

Want a car for specific dates? Put them in the request and we check. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.

How renting with us works

You start by asking: a car, a start time, an end time. Asking is free. We send the offer to your account and your email, with the total shown. Say yes to the offer and pay; that is when the booking is made.

Rates are set car by car and shown on each car's page. From 7 days, the weekly rate takes over. Book ahead if you can; 2 hours is the shortest notice we take.

Driver requirements

You must be 18 or older and hold a valid Ontario G2 or G licence. No maximum age, and a daily fee only for drivers under 26. Bring the card in your name that paid for the booking.

Third-party liability comes with every rate. For the car itself: your own policy with OPCF 27, a card that covers rentals, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is never taken when you book; it comes about 1 hour before pickup. Before confirming, we verify the licence and identity of each driver.

What you need to rent

Drivers must be 18 or older at pickup. A young driver fee applies by age: 18 to 20, $35 a day and 21 to 25, $20 a day; from 26 there is none.

Licence: an Ontario G2 and G licence, valid for the whole rental. A licence from another province or country, an international one with its permit included, is accepted on a request and checked by a person before we confirm.

An additional driver costs 25% of the daily rate for each day, and meets the same rules.

Third-party liability coverage is included in every rate. For damage to the car you need one of these before pickup: OPCF 27 on your own auto policy, Your credit card’s rental coverage and The CarmaCars Protection Plan. A claim on our fleet policy costs you the $2,500 deductible.

The deposit is a hold on your card, $500 to $5,000 depending on the car, never a charge.

At pickup, bring your original licence and the card you paid with.

Book at least 2 hours before pickup.

Cancelling: 95% back within 24 hours of booking when pickup is 48 hours or more away; 75% back 48 hours or more before pickup; 50% back 24 to 48 hours before; nothing back later.

Other standard fees, from the fee schedule: ldw (loss damage waiver) $30 a day, vlf (vehicle licence fee) $20 a day, t&ldw (theft and loss damage waiver) $35 a day, pap/pec (personal accident and effects coverage) $12 a day, smoking $300, cleaning $75, baby seat $15 a day, deductible $2,500, recharging: per 10% of battery $10 each, winter tire $15 a day, lost key or fob: fee $50, pet cleaning $150, cleaning, excessively dirty (heavy soiling or odour) $300 and toll: administration fee per toll invoice $15.
