Executive car service with this car

If you need a car with a driver, the 2001 Kia Optima is one option; this page explains the car 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 numbers in plain words

It runs the 2.4L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Fuel use is rated 11.2 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 34 litres. Expect about $17.36 per 100 km at our price setting.

A good match for

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Space and size

As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The EPA measures its luggage space at 368 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Can you rent one?

Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Want a car for specific dates? Put them in the request and we check. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.

What you need to rent

We rent to drivers aged 18 and up who hold an Ontario G2 or G licence. Young drivers, under 26, can rent too, with a fee for each day. Bring the card in your name that paid for the booking.

Before pickup, choose how damage to the car is handled: your auto policy (OPCF 27), your credit card's rental benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. A deposit applies to every rental. It is shown on the car's page and taken about 1 hour before pickup. Each driver named on the booking signs the rental agreement.

From request to keys

Every booking starts as a request: the car, the dates and where you want it. Nothing is charged to send one. We answer with a written offer: the car, the dates, the price and the deposit. An offer is valid for 24 hours, and you pay only when you approve it.

You can check any car's calendar before you send a request. From 7 days, the weekly rate takes over. Book ahead if you can; 2 hours is the shortest notice we take.
