Renting for Ruby

Also close to Ruby: Alder, Laurin and Junction.

Reading the spec sheet

The 6.2L 8-cylinder supercharged with four-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Four-wheel drive helps on rough ground and deep snow; on dry roads it behaves like any other vehicle.

It is rated at 19.8 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 59 litres. Every 100 km costs about $34.65 in fuel at our price setting.

Living with the 1500

Being a pickup truck, it trades parking ease for a cargo bed.

When the 1500 makes sense

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Getting one from us

None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. If you want this one, say so in the request; we confirm before you pay. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now.

What you need to rent

You need to be 18 or older at pickup, with an Ontario G2 or G licence valid for the whole rental. Each day of the rental carries a young driver fee if a driver is under 26. Debit works on cars marked "no credit card needed"; the others take a credit card.

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. Each car shows its deposit, and we take it about 1 hour before pickup. Name every driver in your request, and each is checked before pickup.

Your request, our offer, your keys

A request is free and takes a few minutes: the car, your dates, and pickup or delivery. A staff member reads the request and sends the offer. We reply within 2 hours. Approve the offer to book the car. That is the moment you pay, not before.

The car pages show each car's rates, deposit and kilometres included. Bookings run from one day up to 365 days at a time. At least 2 hours must separate the request from the pickup.
