A note on Java

If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Java. Java is about 3,178 km from our Toronto location, beyond the area we deliver to.

Close by are Klinefelter, Ibis and Arrowhead Junction, each with its own page.

What the specs mean

The engine is the 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo, with four-wheel drive and a 10-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Four-wheel drive helps on rough ground and deep snow; on dry roads it behaves like any other vehicle.

It is rated at 11.4 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 34 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $176.70.

The Explorer in everyday use

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

Who rents the Explorer

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

In our fleet

Your request can name this exact car; the offer confirms what we can give you. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below.

From request to keys

To get started, send a request for the car and dates. You are not charged for it. Our offer spells out the rate, the delivery fee if any, and the deposit. Say yes to the offer and pay; that is when the booking is made.

The car pages show each car's rates, deposit and kilometres included. The monthly rate covers a booking of up to 365 days. A pickup can be as soon as 2 hours after your request, when the car is free.

Checking your details

An Ontario G2 or G licence and an age of 18 or more: that is where it starts. Young drivers, under 26, can rent too, with a fee for each day. A credit card in your name is needed, except on cars marked "no credit card needed", which take debit.

Damage to the car is handled one of three ways: OPCF 27 on your policy, a credit card's rental car benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. There is a deposit for each rental, taken shortly before pickup rather than at booking. If another person will drive, add them; they go through the same check.

Questions first?

Questions, dates or both: put them in a request and we answer.
