The 2012 Kia Optima: Courtesy car
This page joins two things: courtesy car, and the 2012 Kia Optima in plain words. After a collision, your insurer may pay for the rental once your adjuster approves it. When your adjuster approves a rental, we can bill your insurance company directly.
What the specs mean
Power comes from the 2.4L 4-cylinder hybrid, driving through a 6-speed automatic. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
At 6.5 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 20 litres of fuel. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $10.08, and a 300 km weekend about $30.24.
Inside and out
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its 283 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Can I rent it?
Request this exact car: a request asks us to look for one for your dates. If you want this one, say so in the request; we confirm before you pay. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Your request, our offer, your keys
Tell us the car and the dates in a request. There is no fee for asking. Our team answers with an offer: the confirmed car, the dates and the full price. Your card is charged only when you approve the offer.
Each listing shows the daily, weekly and monthly rate of that car. Short trips and long stays use the same request; the rate follows the length. The minimum notice is 2 hours, so an afternoon pickup can be requested in the morning.
Checking your details
The minimum age is 18, and the licence must be an Ontario G2 or G, valid for the whole trip. There is no maximum age. Drivers under 26 pay a young driver fee each day. The payment card and the licence must match the driver's name.
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 comes about 1 hour before you get the car, not at booking. Every driver's licence and identity are checked before we confirm.
Next step
When you have your dates, send a request. It is free, and the offer shows the full price.

Third-party liability coverage is included in every rate. For damage to the car you need one of these before pickup: OPCF 27 on your own auto policy, Your credit card’s rental coverage and The CarmaCars Protection Plan. A claim on our fleet policy costs you the $2,500 deductible.
The deposit is a hold on your card, $500 to $5,000 depending on the car, never a charge.
