Renting the 2012 Ford Taurus
Searching for Turo alternative? Here is the 2012 Ford Taurus: 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.
The figures, translated
The powertrain here is the 3.5L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The EPA rates it at 11.1 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 33 litres. That works out to about $17.21 per 100 km at our price setting.
What to expect from the Taurus
As a large sedan, it is easy to drive and park in the city. EPA lists 566 litres of luggage space, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A good match for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
