Executive car service: the 2018 Ford Explorer
The 2018 Ford Explorer for a car with a driver: the facts first, then the booking. Chauffeur bookings are by the hour, two hours minimum; send a request and we reply with the vehicle we can offer and the price.
Engine and fuel
The 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
A combined rating of 10.8 L/100 km works out to about 32 litres per 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $16.74 at our price setting.
When the Explorer makes sense
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
How big it is
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
In our fleet
Put this car and your dates in a request, and we reply with an offer. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
How it works
Every booking starts as a request: the car, the dates and where you want it. Nothing is charged to send one. We confirm and price it, and the offer arrives in your account and by email. Approve it and the car is booked; decline it and nothing happens.
Rates are set car by car and shown on each car's page. A single booking can run up to 365 days. For longer, it renews month after month. Same-day requests are fine with at least 2 hours of notice, when the car is free.
What to have ready
If you are 18 or over and hold an Ontario G2 or G licence, you can rent. 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.
Every rate includes liability to others. Damage to the car is covered by your choice: OPCF 27, your card's rental benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Each car shows its deposit, and we take it about 1 hour before pickup. If another person will drive, add them; they go through the same check.
Next step
Ready? Request the car. If you change your mind before approving the offer, nothing is charged.
