Renting the 2006 Kia Optima
For a rental car, the 2006 Kia Optima 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.
The figures, translated
Under the hood: the 2.4L 4-cylinder and 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.
Fuel use is rated 9.4 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 28 litres. Expect about $14.57 per 100 km at our price setting.
Good uses for the Optima
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
The Optima in everyday use
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The EPA measures its luggage space at 396 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Licence, age and card
At pickup you must be 18 or older and carry your original G2 or G licence. Under 26, a young driver fee applies for each day of the rental. The card you pay with must be yours, and you bring it to the handover.
Third-party liability is included in the rate. For damage to the car, you choose one of three options before pickup. A deposit is held before each rental; the amount is on the car's page. Extra drivers are welcome; each one is checked and signs the agreement.
The booking steps
Send a request for the car and dates you have in mind. It is free and it commits you to nothing. The reply is an offer you can read in full before you decide anything. If the offer works for you, approve and pay to confirm. If not, you owe nothing.
Each car shows its own extra kilometre rate, so nothing surprises you later. Stay as long as you need: up to 365 days a booking, then renew. Book ahead if you can; 2 hours is the shortest notice we take.
