About the 2003 Ford Explorer
If a rental car is the plan, the 2003 Ford Explorer is worth a look; here is why. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.
Engine and fuel
The powertrain here is the 4.0L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Its combined rating is 13.8 L/100 km, which means roughly 41 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $213.90.
Living with the Explorer
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Who rents the Explorer
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Getting one from us
None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Want a car for specific dates? Put them in the request and we check. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
What we ask of drivers
Renters must be at least 18 and hold an Ontario G2 or G licence. If any driver is under 26, a young driver fee is added for each day. A card in your name pays for the rental, and we see it with your licence at pickup.
Choose before pickup how damage to the car is handled: your policy with OPCF 27, your card's rental benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. There is a deposit for each rental, taken shortly before pickup rather than at booking. Everyone who will drive signs the agreement after the licence check.
Request, offer, keys
Start with a request. Choose the car, the pickup time and the return time, and send it without paying anything. We reply with an offer for the car and the dates, priced in full. Your card is charged only when you approve the offer.
Open a car to see its photos, rates, deposit and kilometres included. For longer stays, each booking of up to 365 days renews with a new agreement. The shortest notice we accept before a pickup is 2 hours.
Ready when you are
If something here is unclear, ask in your request; we reply in plain words.

How much does fuel cost to drive the 2003 Ford Explorer 100 km?
About $21.39 for fuel, from the EPA combined rating of 13.8 L/100 km (4.0L 6-cylinder, rear-wheel drive, 5-speed manual) at $1.55 a litre. You return the car with the same fuel it had at pickup.
How old do I need to be to rent?

How much is the deposit?
Between $500 and $5,000, depending on the car. It is taken about 1 hour before pickup, never when you book, and the balance is released within 7 business days after you return the car.
What coverage do I need?
Third-party liability is included in the rate. 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, priced in your offer by car and driver age. At $2,500 or more we claim on our fleet policy and you pay the $2,500 deductible.
Can the car be delivered?
Yes, anywhere, including Toronto Pearson International Airport and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. Delivery starts at $75 plus the distance from our location, priced in your offer. Collecting the car yourself is free.
