Minivan rental: orange 2021 Ford Explorer Base in Kickapoo

Minivan rental: the 2021 Ford Explorer Base

If a van or a seven-seat car is the plan, the 2021 Ford Explorer Base is worth a look; here is why. Seven seats or more take a whole group in one vehicle.

Renting for Kickapoo

CarmaCars is based in Toronto, about 1,391 km from Kickapoo, and does not deliver there. If you need it in Kickapoo itself, send a request and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.

Fort Leavenworth, Lowemont and Leavenworth are the neighbouring places on our list.

What the figures tell you

The 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo, paired with a 10-speed automatic, drives it. 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.

Combined fuel use is 9.9 L/100 km: about 30 litres for 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $153.50 at our price setting.

The Explorer in everyday use

The higher seat of a full-size SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.

Best uses

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Our Explorer cars

Ask for your dates, and we reply with what we can offer. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now.

Your booking, in three steps

You begin by requesting a car for your dates; the request is free. We answer with a written offer: the car, the dates, the price and the deposit. If the offer works for you, approve and pay to confirm. If not, you owe nothing.

A car's page shows the deposit and the kilometres included each day. Bookings run from one day up to 365 days at a time. With 2 hours of notice or more, a same-day pickup can work when the car is free.

What we check

Drivers 18 and older can rent with a valid Ontario G2 or G licence. There is no maximum age. Drivers under 26 pay a young driver fee each day. Cars marked "no credit card needed" accept a debit card in your name; the others need a credit card.

If your own policy has OPCF 27 or your card covers rental cars, use that; otherwise add the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is taken shortly before pickup, and the balance comes back after the return. Extra drivers are welcome; each one is checked and signs the agreement.
