The 2021 MINI Cooper: Turo alternative
For a rental car, here is what the 2021 MINI Cooper brings, and how to request one. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.
What the specs mean
The engine is the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive and a 7-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The combined figure, 7.5 L/100 km, means roughly 23 litres for 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $13.13 at our price setting.
How big it is
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. In plain terms, its 255 litres of luggage space hold about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Who it is for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Rent it from us
None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Tell us your dates and we check this car or the closest match. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Driver requirements
Drivers from 18 up, with an Ontario G2 or G licence, are welcome. We accept young drivers; those under 26 pay a daily fee. Your original licence, not a photo, comes with you to the handover.
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. Deposits differ by car. Each car's page shows its amount. Every renter goes through the same check of licence and identity before the car is confirmed.
Request, offer, keys
To get started, send a request for the car and dates. You are not charged for it. We answer with a written offer: the car, the dates, the price and the deposit. You have 24 hours to approve an offer, and payment comes with your approval.
The calendar on each car's page helps you pick dates that work. 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.
Next step
If a car here fits, request it for your dates.
Cars and prices
The closest cars to this page on CarmaCars, ready to book now, start at $60 a day (2022 Chevrolet Malibu LS), $400 a week and $1,500 for 30 days. Want this exact car? Request it and we look for one for your dates.

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.
