A note on Yameri

If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Yameri. Yameri is about 3,364 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area.

Also close to Yameri: San Francisco el Ocatal, San Francisco el Ocotal and Río Tiltepec.

What the figures tell you

Under the hood: the 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo and four-wheel drive. 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.

Its combined rating is 11.7 L/100 km, which means roughly 35 litres for 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $181.40 at our price setting.

Inside and out

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

Who it is for

Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

How to book

Choose a car, set the pickup and return times, and send the request. You pay nothing to ask. Then we send an offer. The offer shows the price before 13% HST and the deposit. Payment happens only after you accept the offer.

The calendar on each car's page helps you pick dates that work. Rent for a day, a week or up to 365 days in one booking. Same-day requests are fine with at least 2 hours of notice, when the car is free.

Who can rent

Drivers 18 and older can rent with a valid Ontario G2 or G licence. Drivers under 26 pay a young driver fee for each day, shown on each car's page. We check that the card and the licence carry the same name.

Three options cover damage to the car: OPCF 27 on your auto policy, a credit card with rental car benefits, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Each car shows its deposit, and we take it about 1 hour before pickup. Each driver named on the booking signs the rental agreement.
