Renting the 2012 Kia Optima
For a rental car, the 2012 Kia Optima could fit; below, the figures and how booking works. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.
What the specs mean
The 2.4L 4-cylinder hybrid with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Rated at 6.5 L/100 km combined, it needs around 20 litres for a 300 km round trip. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $30.24 at our price setting.
Size and space
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its 283 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who rents the Optima
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Renting it
None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. If you want this one, say so in the request; we confirm before you pay. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Booking in plain terms
Every booking starts as a request: the car, the dates and where you want it. Nothing is charged to send one. A person replies with an offer priced for your dates, not an estimate. Your card is charged only when you approve the offer.
You can check any car's calendar before you send a request. A rental of 7 days or longer is priced at the weekly rate. A request can be for today, as long as the pickup is at least 2 hours away.
Driver basics
An Ontario G2 or G licence and an age of 18 or more are the starting point. There is no upper age limit, and drivers under 26 pay a fee for each day. A card in the driver's own name is required at the handover.
Third-party liability is in the rate; for the car, bring OPCF 27, use your card's benefit, or add the CarmaCars Protection Plan. We hold the deposit shortly before pickup and release it after the return. Each driver named on the booking signs the rental agreement.

How much does fuel cost to drive the 2012 Kia Optima 100 km?
About $10.08 for fuel, from the EPA combined rating of 6.5 L/100 km (2.4L 4-cylinder hybrid, front-wheel drive, 6-speed automatic) 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?
