Want to know if the 2001 Kia Optima suits a rental car? Read on. 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
Its powertrain is the 2.4L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Rated at 11.2 L/100 km combined, it needs around 34 litres for a 300 km round trip. In energy, every 100 km costs about $17.36 at our price setting.
Who rents the Optima
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
What the Optima is like
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Luggage space is 368 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it from us
This exact car is not in our fleet at the moment; a request asks us to look for one. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. A request for your dates gets you an offer from a person. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
What we need from you
Ontario G2 or G licences are accepted, for drivers 18 and older. Drivers under 26 can rent with a young driver fee each day. A card in your name pays for the rental, and we see it with your licence at pickup.
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. The deposit amount depends on the car and is shown on its page. Everyone who will drive signs the agreement after the licence check.
What to expect when you book
Choose the car and your times, then send a request. A request does not hold the car, and it costs nothing. A staff member reads the request and sends the offer. We reply within 2 hours. Only an approved, paid offer books the car.
Every car has its own daily, weekend, weekly and monthly rate. Trips of 7 days or more use the weekly rate, and shorter trips never cost more than it. Plan for at least 2 hours between sending the request and picking up the car.
Send a request
Look through the cars, choose one, and send a request when it suits you.
