Renting the 2004 Ford Explorer
This 2004 Ford Explorer page is written for a car with a driver: the car first, then renting it from us. Chauffeur bookings are by the hour, two hours minimum; send a request and we reply with the vehicle we can offer and the price.
The figures, translated
The powertrain to know here is the 4.0L 6-cylinder, with all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
It is rated at 14.7 L/100 km combined, so budget about 44 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $227.90.
Who rents the Explorer
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Room inside
As an SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
In our fleet
A request for your dates gets you an offer from a person. Similar cars are below if you need one sooner. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Renting: the basics
Drivers 18 and older can rent with a valid Ontario G2 or G licence. The daily young driver fee is shown on each car's page, for drivers under 26. At the handover we check your licence and the card in your name.
Third-party liability is in the rate; for the car, bring OPCF 27, use your card's benefit, or add the CarmaCars Protection Plan. We hold the deposit shortly before pickup and release it after the return. Each driver named on the booking signs the rental agreement.
Booking made plain
Choose the car and your times, then send a request. A request does not hold the car, and it costs nothing. A staff member reads the request and sends the offer. We reply within 2 hours. If it suits you, approve it and pay. Until then, nothing is charged.
Prices on each car's page are before tax, and the offer adds the tax. Book one day, one week, or up to 365 days at once. Leave at least 2 hours between your request and the pickup.
Ready when you are
A request takes a few minutes and puts a real offer in front of you.
