For a rental car, here is what the 1998 Ford Explorer brings, and how to request one. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.
What the figures tell you
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.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 41 litres, from its 13.8 L/100 km rating. Every 100 km costs about $21.39 in fuel at our price setting.
Who the Explorer suits
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits groups, airport runs with luggage and family trips.
Size and space
As a van, it puts space for people and luggage first.
Can I rent it?
Put this car and your dates in a request, and we reply with an offer. We have none on the site right now. Send a request for this exact car and we look for one for your dates. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
From your dates to the handover
Booking starts online: pick the car, set the times, and send the request at no cost. We confirm and price it, and the offer arrives in your account and by email. If the offer works for you, approve and pay to confirm. If not, you owe nothing.
Each car shows its rate for a day, a weekend day, a week and a month. From 7 days, the weekly rate takes over. Plan for at least 2 hours between sending the request and picking up the car.
What we ask of drivers
Drivers need to be 18 or over, holding an Ontario G2 or G licence for the whole rental. The daily young driver fee is shown on each car's page, for drivers under 26. Your original licence, not a photo, comes with you to the handover.
Liability to other people is included in every rate. For the car itself, pick your own policy (OPCF 27), a card with rental car benefits, 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. Additional drivers can be added; each one meets the same rules and signs the agreement.
