In the Motoring Section of today's Daily Telegraph:

Toyota is offering two-day test drives to potential buyers (that's all of us no doubt :D ?) of the Yaris supermini. The contact number that enables you to in effect rent a car free of charge for 2 days is 0845 275 5555.

    That is what I'd like to know, and also if you have to refill it with petrol before you give it back... :D

    Just booked mine, enquired about a deposit and the answer was no, and the lovely guy checked the Ts and Cs about refilling with petrol - he said he couldn't see anything, but I might double check that

    That's good if you dont have to refill it with Petrol. Vauxhall do the same for any of their cars for 3 days I think

    I currently have the Toyota Aygo (even smaller) out on a Toyota 2 day test drive. There wasn't a deposit as such, but we did hve to agree to a credit card swipe with authorization to take up to £250 if there was any damage. They gave it to us with the bare minimum of petrol in it, so then we just added what we thought we'd need at the petrol station (we put £7 worth in).
    If you need a car for a couple of days or are considering buying one of the Toyotas I'd definately reccomend it. We picked it up Sunday morning, and we're returning it tonight, so we're getting much more than 48 hrs use. We were considering getting an Aygo, and this has convinced us, we really want one now, so hopefully we'll be able to sort one out ASAP.

    yes i phoned up- they want a £250 deposit but its not actually taken- mainly they want your card details- but of course you are gonna be responsible for any damage, parking tickets, speeding fines. Thanks for the info on the petrol.

    One more thing- is there a milage restriction? I know im being cheeky but was hoping to take the car to london about a 500 mile round journey from my area.
    Thanks

    Thats a good question - I want to go to Bedford and back if I get it on the w/e I want it - 200 miles in all. If I remember I will ask when the local dealer calls me

    There was no milage restriction on ours. The only restrictions were that you hadn't had more than one accident or 3 penalty points (or something similar) in the last 3 years and were over 21.
    We returned it last night with no problems at all. Only problem is that I fell madly in love with the cr and miss it now it's gone. Not much of a problem as I arranged to buy one tody - very excited!!
