Cost to drive the 2008 Subaru Forester

Car subscription with this car

This page joins two things: car subscription, and the 2008 Subaru Forester in plain words. There is no long contract: stop at the end of any booking. One booking runs up to 365 days and renews with a new agreement.

Under the hood

Power comes from the 2.5L 4-cylinder, driving through a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

Rated at 10.7 L/100 km combined, it needs around 32 litres for a 300 km round trip. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $165.90.

Who the Forester suits

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.

Practical details

It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy. At 878 litres, the trunk fits bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Renting this car

There is no exact match in our fleet today. Request it and we search for one, or take a similar car. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. A request for your dates gets you an offer from a person. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.

Checking your details

Ontario G2 or G licences are accepted, for drivers 18 and older. The daily young driver fee is shown on each car's page, for drivers under 26. Bring the card in your name that paid for the booking.

The CarmaCars Protection Plan is priced in your offer by car and driver age, as one of three options for damage to the car. The deposit comes about 1 hour before you get the car, not at booking. If another person will drive, add them; they go through the same check.

Booking made plain

Nothing to pay up front: the first step is simply a request. We check the calendar and your details, then send you an offer with the total. If the offer works for you, approve and pay to confirm. If not, you owe nothing.

Open a car to see its photos, rates, deposit and kilometres included. Rent for a day, a week or up to 365 days in one booking. Requests need at least 2 hours of notice before the pickup time.

Let us know

Send a request today, and approve the offer only if it works for you.

About $16.59 for fuel, from the EPA combined rating of 10.7 L/100 km (2.5L 4-cylinder, all-wheel drive, 4-speed automatic) at $1.55 a litre. You return the car with the same fuel it had at pickup.

How old do I need to be to rent?
