Car service and the 2002 Kia Optima

Want the 2002 Kia Optima as a car with a driver? Start here: the car in plain words, then how booking works. Chauffeur bookings are by the hour, two hours minimum; send a request and we reply with the vehicle we can offer and the price.

Under the hood

The 2.4L 4-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Combined fuel use is 11.2 L/100 km: about 34 litres for 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel at our price setting.

When the Optima makes sense

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

The Optima in everyday use

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. EPA lists 368 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Our Optima cars

There is no exact match in our fleet today. Request it and we search for one, or take a similar car. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. Want a car for specific dates? Put them in the request and we check. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.

Booking with CarmaCars

A short online request with the car and your times gets things moving, at no cost. We confirm the details and send an offer. It lists the rental, any delivery and any add-ons. If the offer works for you, approve and pay to confirm. If not, you owe nothing.

Every car on the site has a page of its own, with its calendar and its rates. Book one day, one week, or up to 365 days at once. Leave at least 2 hours between your request and the pickup.

Driver basics

Ontario G2 or G licence holders aged 18 and up can request a car. Drivers under 26 can rent with a young driver fee each day. Payment is by a card in your name, shown with your licence at pickup.

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. The deposit is released after the return, once the car is checked. We check every driver; it takes a few minutes and protects everyone.
