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.
