The 1997 Ford Explorer: Luup alternative
If you need a rental car, the 1997 Ford Explorer is one option; this page explains the car and how booking works. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.
What the figures tell you
Under the hood: the 4.0L 6-cylinder and rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
The EPA rates it at 13.1 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 39 litres. That works out to about $20.31 per 100 km at our price setting.
The Explorer in everyday use
Being a van, it carries people and their bags without fuss.
Who the Explorer suits
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Can you rent one?
There is no exact match in our fleet today. Request it and we search for one, or take a similar car. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. Ask for this exact car in your request, and we tell you what we can offer. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
How a booking comes together
You ask for the car you want for the dates you need. The request itself is free. You receive an offer with the price, the deposit and what is included. Approve it and the car is booked; decline it and nothing happens.
Every car has its own daily, weekend, weekly and monthly rate. From 7 days, the weekly rate applies; up to 365 days, a trip never costs more than the monthly rate. With 2 hours of notice or more, a same-day pickup can work when the car is free.
Requirements
You must be 18 or older and hold a valid Ontario G2 or G licence. If you are under 26, expect a young driver fee each day; there is no upper age limit. Your original licence, not a photo, comes with you to the handover.
Third-party liability is in the rate; for the car, bring OPCF 27, use your card's benefit, or add the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Deposits are listed car by car, so you can compare before you ask. Licence and identity checks happen before the booking is confirmed.

About $20.31 for fuel, from the EPA combined rating of 13.1 L/100 km (4.0L 6-cylinder, rear-wheel drive, 5-speed manual) at $1.55 a litre. You return the car with the same fuel it had at pickup.
How old do I need to be to rent?

Between $500 and $5,000, depending on the car. It is taken about 1 hour before pickup, never when you book, and the balance is released within 7 business days after you return the car.
What coverage do I need?
Third-party liability is included in the rate. For damage to the car itself, have your own policy (OPCF 27), a credit card with rental car coverage, or add the CarmaCars Protection Plan, priced in your offer by car and driver age. At $2,500 or more we claim on our fleet policy and you pay the $2,500 deductible.
Can the car be delivered?
Yes, anywhere, including Toronto Pearson International Airport and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. Delivery starts at $75 plus the distance from our location, priced in your offer. Collecting the car yourself is free.
