Turo alternative with this car
If you need a rental car, read about the 2004 Ford Explorer here, then request it. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.
Reading the spec sheet
Power comes from the 4.0L 6-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
Fuel use is rated 14.7 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 44 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $227.90.
When the Explorer makes sense
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.
What the Explorer is like
As an SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Renting it
Ask for this exact car in your request, and we tell you what we can offer. We have none on the site right now. Send a request for this exact car and we look for one for your dates. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Request, offer, keys
You ask for the car you want for the dates you need. The request itself is free. The offer we send lists the car we confirm and the full price. The car is yours for those dates once you approve and pay the offer.
Every car has its own daily, weekend, weekly and monthly rate. Stay as long as you need: up to 365 days a booking, then renew. Leave at least 2 hours between your request and the pickup.
Before you rent
Our minimum age is 18; an Ontario G2 or G licence is required. 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.
The CarmaCars Protection Plan is priced in your offer by car and driver age, as one of three options for damage to the car. There is a deposit for each rental, taken shortly before pickup rather than at booking. Every driver's licence and identity are checked before we confirm.

The deposit is a hold on your card, $500 to $5,000 depending on the car, never a charge.
