Luup alternative with this car

For a rental car, the 2008 Ford Explorer could fit; below, the figures 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.

Under the hood

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.

Its combined rating is 14.7 L/100 km, which means roughly 44 litres for 300 km. Expect about $22.79 per 100 km at our price setting.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Space, size and seats

As an SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.

Renting this car

Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. If you want this one, say so in the request; we confirm before you pay. 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 have ready

Ontario G2 or G licences are accepted, for drivers 18 and older. Young drivers are welcome: a daily fee applies under 26. The name on the card has to match the name on the licence.

If your own policy has OPCF 27 or your card covers rental cars, use that; otherwise add the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Deposits differ by car. Each car's page shows its amount. Each driver named on the booking signs the rental agreement.

Booking with CarmaCars

Choose a car, set the pickup and return times, and send the request. You pay nothing to ask. An offer follows, with the car we confirm and the full price for your dates. If it suits you, approve it and pay. Until then, nothing is charged.

The car pages show each car's rates, deposit and kilometres included. The longer the booking, the lower the rate a day tends to be. A pickup can be as soon as 2 hours after your request, when the car is free.
