Toronto drivers can now rent a car for $1 a day. But there’s some fine print attached to CityFlitz’s service. Digital Journal TV finds out what’s driving this unique promotion.
Digital Journal — A new car rental program in Canada promises to give drivers the opportunity to rent cars for merely $1 a day. CityFlitz launched in Toronto recently, and offers 12 cars to drivers frustrated with high gas prices and insurance rates.
The cars available for Torontonians include Mini Coopers, Mini Clubmans and Smart cars. The public can sign up to start driving those cars in early September. The driver needs to be 23 with a valid “G” license, and must also own a credit card that includes rental car insurance coverage.
Cars come equipped with Wi-Fi Net access and a GPS tracking system. Users can rent a car for up to one week at a time.
So is CityFlitz’s deal too good to be true? Digital Journal TV explains the twist behind this auto-sharing service and how these cars became “mobile billboards.”
All you Digital Journal TV blooper fans: Stay tuned to the end of this segment for more David Silverberg tongue twisters.
