About the 2003 Ford Explorer
Here is the 2003 Ford Explorer, for anyone after a car with a driver. Chauffeur bookings are by the hour, two hours minimum; send a request and we reply with the vehicle we can offer and the price.
Specs, explained
The powertrain to know here is the 4.0L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Combined fuel use is 13.8 L/100 km: about 41 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $64.17 in energy at our price setting.
Size and space
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Who the Explorer suits
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Getting one from us

Your request, our offer, your keys
Tell us the car and the dates in a request. There is no fee for asking. Our team answers with an offer: the confirmed car, the dates and the full price. The car is yours for those dates once you approve and pay the offer.
Each car shows its rate for a day, a weekend day, a week and a month. A week or more is priced at the weekly rate, from 7 days. Last-minute plans are fine with at least 2 hours of notice.
Before pickup
Drivers from 18 up, with an Ontario G2 or G licence, are welcome. No maximum age, and a daily fee only for drivers under 26. Cars marked "no credit card needed" accept a debit card in your name; the others need a credit card.
If you have no auto policy and no card benefit, the CarmaCars Protection Plan is the third option, priced in your offer. The deposit is released after the return, once the car is checked. Extra drivers are welcome; each one is checked and signs the agreement.
