Renting the 2021 Ford Explorer Base

A note on Danforth

If you need it in Danforth itself, send a request and we will tell you honestly whether we can help. Danforth is about 1,414 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area.

The pages for Lula, Powell and Carter cover the areas next door.

Engine and fuel

The 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

A combined rating of 9.9 L/100 km works out to about 30 litres per 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $15.35 at our price setting.

Good uses for the Explorer

Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Size and space

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

Booking with CarmaCars

First, a request: the car you like, when you need it, and where. No payment yet. If the car is free, you get an offer with the full price; if not, we suggest another car. If it suits you, approve it and pay. Until then, nothing is charged.

You can see every car's calendar and rates before you send anything. The monthly rate covers a booking of up to 365 days. With 2 hours of notice or more, a same-day pickup can work when the car is free.

What you need to rent

You need to be 18 or older at pickup, with an Ontario G2 or G licence valid for the whole rental. If you are under 26, expect a young driver fee each day; there is no upper age limit. The card you pay with must be yours, and you bring it to the handover.

Three options cover damage to the car: OPCF 27 on your auto policy, a credit card with rental car benefits, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Your deposit is held for the rental and released after the car comes back and is checked. If another person will drive, add them; they go through the same check.

Next step

A request takes a few minutes and puts a real offer in front of you.
