Turo alternative and the 2017 Mazda MX-5 GS

If a rental car is the plan, the 2017 Mazda MX-5 GS is worth a look; here is why. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.

Renting for Farmbrook

If you need it in Farmbrook itself, send a request and we will tell you honestly whether we can help. Farmbrook is about 532 km from our Toronto location, beyond the area we deliver to.

Park Ridge, Parkside Village and Parkside Estates are the closest places to Farmbrook on our list.

What the figures tell you

The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. 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.

Combined fuel use is 8.0 L/100 km: about 24 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $42 in energy at our price setting.

The MX-5 in everyday use

As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.

Who it is for

It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Can you rent one?

Your request can name this exact car; the offer confirms what we can give you. There is no exact match in our fleet today. Request it and we search for one, or take a similar car. Similar cars are below if you need one sooner.

How booking works

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. Offers stay open for 24 hours. Approve one and pay to book the car.

Compare cars side by side by opening their pages. From one day to 365, a single booking covers it. The minimum notice is 2 hours, so an afternoon pickup can be requested in the morning.

What to have ready

Every driver needs an Ontario G2 or G licence and must be 18 or older. There is no upper age limit, and drivers under 26 pay a fee for each day. We check that the card and the licence carry the same name.

You need one of three things in place for damage to the car: OPCF 27 on your own policy, a credit card that covers rentals, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Each car shows its deposit, and we take it about 1 hour before pickup. Extra drivers are welcome; each one is checked and signs the agreement.
