Car subscription and the 2021 Ford Explorer Platinum

The 2021 Ford Explorer Platinum is on this page for car subscription: here is what to know before you request one. One booking runs up to 365 days and renews with a new agreement. There is no long contract: stop at the end of any booking.

The numbers in plain words

Under the hood: the 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo and rear-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

It is rated 9.9 L/100 km combined: about 30 litres every 300 km. That works out to about $15.35 per 100 km at our price setting.

Space, size and seats

Being a full-size SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

Who rents the Explorer

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Rent this car

Tell us your dates and we check this car or the closest match. 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. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.

How booking works

The process opens with a request from you, which costs nothing and binds you to nothing. An offer follows, with the car we confirm and the full price for your dates. Say yes to the offer and pay; that is when the booking is made.

Each car page lists what is included and what costs extra. Short trips and long stays use the same request; the rate follows the length. Allow 2 hours or more between your request and the pickup time.

Checking your details

Drivers from 18 up, with an Ontario G2 or G licence, are welcome. Age fees stop at 26: younger drivers pay a daily young driver fee. At pickup, have your original licence and the payment card ready.

Third-party liability is included in the rate. For damage to the car, you choose one of three options before pickup. A deposit is held before each rental; the amount is on the car's page. Extra drivers are welcome; each one is checked and signs the agreement.

Ready to ask?

Look through the cars, choose one, and send a request when it suits you.
