About the 1997 Ford Explorer
For a car with a driver, here is what the 1997 Ford Explorer brings, and how to request one. Chauffeur bookings are by the hour, two hours minimum; send a request and we reply with the vehicle we can offer and the price.
What the figures tell you
It uses the 4.0L 6-cylinder and rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
By the EPA's combined rating of 13.1 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 39 litres. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $60.93 at our price setting.
A good match for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Room inside
A tall roof and wide doors make it easy to load people and bags.
Rent this car
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. Ask for your dates, and we reply with what we can offer. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
What we ask of drivers
Drivers need to be 18 or over, holding an Ontario G2 or G licence for the whole rental. The young driver fee covers drivers under 26; older drivers pay no age fee. Bring the card you paid with and your original licence to the handover.
The CarmaCars Protection Plan is one of three options for damage to the car; the others are OPCF 27 on your policy or a card with rental car benefits. A deposit applies to every rental. It is shown on the car's page and taken about 1 hour before pickup. The checks are the same for everyone: licence, identity and the agreement.
Booking in plain terms
Your part at the start is short: choose a car and dates and send a free request. We look at the request and send back an offer with the price for your exact dates. Your card is charged only when you approve the offer.
Each car page lists what is included and what costs extra. The longer the booking, the lower the rate a day tends to be. Give us 2 hours or more before the pickup and we can usually make it work.
One more step
When you have your dates, send a request. It is free, and the offer shows the full price.
