Renting the 2003 Ford Explorer
Here is the 2003 Ford Explorer from the angle of someone searching for car service. Chauffeur bookings are by the hour, two hours minimum; send a request and we reply with the vehicle we can offer and the price.
Engine and fuel
The powertrain to know here is the 4.0L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Expect about 41 litres for every 300 km, going by its 13.8 L/100 km combined rating. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $21.39 at our price setting.
How big it is
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
Best uses
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.
Getting this car from us
Want a car for specific dates? Put them in the request and we check. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
From request to keys
Pick the car and the dates that suit you, then send a request. There is no payment at that point. We send the offer to your account and your email, with the total shown. You decide: approve and pay, or let it go. No charge either way until you approve.
Each listing shows the daily, weekly and monthly rate of that car. The longer the booking, the lower the rate a day tends to be. Pickups need at least 2 hours of notice from the time you send the request.
Driver basics
From age 18, with an Ontario G2 or G licence, you can send a request. We accept young drivers; those under 26 pay a daily fee. Your original licence, not a photo, comes with you to the handover.
Choose before pickup how damage to the car is handled: your policy with OPCF 27, your card's rental benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Each car shows its deposit, and we take it about 1 hour before pickup. We check every driver; it takes a few minutes and protects everyone.
Ask us
Tell us your dates and where you want the car, and we will do the rest.
