The 1997 Ford Probe: Collision replacement car
Want the 1997 Ford Probe as a car while yours is off the road? Start here: the car in plain words, then how booking works. When your adjuster approves a rental, we can bill your insurance company directly. After a collision, your insurer may pay for the rental once your adjuster approves it.
Specs, explained
Its 2.0L 4-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Combined fuel use is 9.4 L/100 km: about 28 litres for 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $14.57 in fuel at our price setting.
What the Probe is like
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. EPA lists 538 litres of luggage space, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
When the Probe makes sense
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Rent it from us

Booking in plain terms
To book, you request the car for your dates. There is no charge to send it and no obligation. Next comes our offer, with the confirmed car and every charge on one page. Say yes to the offer and pay; that is when the booking is made.
The car pages show each car's rates, deposit and kilometres included. Short trips and long stays use the same request; the rate follows the length. Last-minute plans are fine with at least 2 hours of notice.
What we need from you
Every driver must be 18 or older with an Ontario G2 or G licence. If any driver is under 26, a young driver fee is added for each day. Payment is by a card in your name, shown with your licence at pickup.
Damage to the car is handled one of three ways: OPCF 27 on your policy, a credit card's rental car benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is taken shortly before pickup, and the balance comes back after the return. Every driver's licence and identity are checked before we confirm.
Questions first?
