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.

What you need to rent
