Mini's as in Mini Coopers?

The Budget rental in Chinatown use to have mini's with the CVT's.

Also, Co-operative auto has mini's that they rent out.

zipcar charges by the hour (or day)

Zip car is pretty affordable and they include a lot in their membership, they cover the gas and insurance you just pay by the hour

If I just want to rent a mini for a day, is it worth becoming a member of ZipCar?

[SumAznGuy]

You'll probably need to contact Zipcar or Co-operative auto to see how much their memberships cost.

But it is a pretty good alternative to a car rental agency. Co-op is great if you are near SFU while ZipCar is great if you are downtown.

yup, budget in china town used to have mini cooper and VW beetle

Rental companies probably thought having the Mini to rent was a good idea just because they are so unique.

Until they realized they are POS cars and the costs to keep them maintained made them a very poor choice in a rental fleet.

Mr. Rent-A-Car does have Minis. Theres 2 black convertibles, 1 silver convertible, and 1 red. Most of the cars were gone in the summer due to Discount Rent a car closing down and them forwarding everything to Mr. Rent-A-Car. I worked for them in the summer.. its legit.
