Renting the 2012 Ford Explorer
Searching for Turo alternative? Here is the 2012 Ford Explorer: what it is like and how to rent it. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.
Engine and fuel
The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo does the work, through a 6-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Its combined rating is 10.4 L/100 km, which means roughly 31 litres for 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $16.12 at our price setting.
Who it is for
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Space and size
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
