The 2001 Kia Optima: Limo service

If a car with a driver is the plan, the 2001 Kia Optima is worth a look; here is why. Chauffeur bookings are by the hour, two hours minimum; send a request and we reply with the vehicle we can offer and the price.

Under the hood

Its 2.4L 4-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

It is rated at 11.2 L/100 km combined, so budget about 34 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $173.60.

Space, size and seats

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. With 368 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

When the Optima makes sense

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Can you rent one?

Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. Tell us your dates and we check this car or the closest match. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.

What to expect when you book

Nothing to pay up front: the first step is simply a request. Our reply is an offer that lists the rate, the kilometres included and any delivery fee. You decide: approve and pay, or let it go. No charge either way until you approve.

You can check any car's calendar before you send a request. Bookings run from one day up to 365 days at a time. Leave at least 2 hours between your request and the pickup.

What we check

An Ontario G2 or G licence and an age of 18 or more: that is where it starts. Young drivers, under 26, can rent too, with a fee for each day. Bring the card you paid with and your original licence to the handover.

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. Expect a deposit before every rental; its amount is set by the car. Every renter goes through the same check of licence and identity before the car is confirmed.

Questions, dates or both: put them in a request and we answer.

What you need to rent

Licence: an Ontario G2 and G licence, valid for the whole rental. A licence from another province or country, an international one with its permit included, is accepted on a request and checked by a person before we confirm.

An additional driver costs 25% of the daily rate for each day, and meets the same rules.

Third-party liability coverage is included in every rate. For damage to the car you need one of these before pickup: OPCF 27 on your own auto policy, Your credit card’s rental coverage and The CarmaCars Protection Plan. A claim on our fleet policy costs you the $2,500 deductible.

The deposit is a hold on your card, $500 to $5,000 depending on the car, never a charge.

At pickup, bring your original licence and the card you paid with.

Book at least 2 hours before pickup.

Cancelling: 95% back within 24 hours of booking when pickup is 48 hours or more away; 75% back 48 hours or more before pickup; 50% back 24 to 48 hours before; nothing back later.
