The figures, translated

It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder and 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.

Its combined rating is 8.0 L/100 km, which means roughly 24 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $14, and a 300 km weekend about $42.

Practical details

Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.

Best uses

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Renting it

Put this car and your dates in a request, and we reply with an offer. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates.

What happens when you ask for a car

Booking is by request, never instant. You send the car and the dates, and a person at CarmaCars reviews it. If the car is free, you get an offer with the full price; if not, we suggest another car. Approving the offer and paying it confirms the booking.

Each car shows its rate for a day, a weekend day, a week and a month. From one day to 365, a single booking covers it. The shortest notice we accept before a pickup is 2 hours.

Licence, age and card

Every driver must be 18 or older with an Ontario G2 or G licence. If you are under 26, expect a young driver fee each day; there is no upper age limit. We check that the card and the licence carry the same name.

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. We hold the deposit shortly before pickup and release it after the return. Every driver's licence and identity are checked before we confirm.

Questions, dates or both: put them in a request and we answer.
