The Explorer in grey

Our grey cars, when we have them, appear first in the list. If you want it in grey, say so in your request and we look for one for your dates. The colour is part of what we confirm in the offer.

What the figures tell you

The 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

A combined rating of 9.9 L/100 km works out to about 30 litres per 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $46.05 at our price setting.

Who the Explorer suits

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

The Explorer in everyday use

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

What happens when you ask for a car

Start with a request. Choose the car, the pickup time and the return time, and send it without paying anything. You then get an offer from us with the car, the dates and the total before tax. Only an approved, paid offer books the car.

The rates you see on a car's page are the rates in your offer. Weekly pricing starts at 7 days, and a trip never costs more than that rate for a week. The shortest notice we accept before a pickup is 2 hours.

Rules for renters

You need to be 18 or older at pickup, with an Ontario G2 or G licence valid for the whole rental. The young driver fee covers drivers under 26; older drivers pay no age fee. Cars marked "no credit card needed" accept a debit card in your name; the others need a credit card.

Every rate includes liability to others. Damage to the car is covered by your choice: OPCF 27, your card's rental benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. There is a deposit for each rental, taken shortly before pickup rather than at booking. Everyone who will drive signs the agreement after the licence check.

When the dates are set, a request gets you a real price.
