Executive car service with this car
For a car with a driver, the 2003 Ford Explorer could fit; below, the figures and how booking works. 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
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.
Rated at 13.8 L/100 km combined, it needs around 41 litres for a 300 km round trip. At our price setting, it costs about $21.39 to drive 100 km.
Who rents the Explorer
It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Space, size and seats
Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Getting one from us
If you want this one, say so in the request; we confirm before you pay. We have none on the site right now. Send a request for this exact car and we look for one for your dates. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
How it works
Pick the car and the dates that suit you, then send a request. There is no payment at that point. Our team answers with an offer: the confirmed car, the dates and the full price. Approve it and the car is booked; decline it and nothing happens.
Each car's calendar shows the days it is already booked. Book by the week from 7 days, or by the month up to 365 days. Book ahead if you can; 2 hours is the shortest notice we take.
What we ask of drivers
Every driver must be 18 or older with an Ontario G2 or G licence. Under 26? You can rent, with a daily young driver fee shown on the car's page. Cars marked "no credit card needed" accept a debit card in your name; the others need a credit card.
Third-party liability is in the rate; for the car, bring OPCF 27, use your card's benefit, or add the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is taken shortly before pickup, and the balance comes back after the return. The checks are the same for everyone: licence, identity and the agreement.
Talk to a person
When the dates are set, a request gets you a real price.
