Van rental with this car
Here is the 2012 Kia Optima, for anyone after a van or a seven-seat car. Seven seats or more take a whole group in one vehicle.
The numbers in plain words
It runs the 2.4L 4-cylinder hybrid, with front-wheel drive. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The combined figure, 6.5 L/100 km, means roughly 20 litres for 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $10.08 in fuel at our price setting.
The Optima in everyday use
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. For luggage, 283 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who it is for
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Renting the Optima from CarmaCars
None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. A request for your dates gets you an offer from a person. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
What we check
You need an Ontario G2 or G licence, valid for the whole rental, and to be 18 or older. If any driver is under 26, a young driver fee is added for each day. Debit works on cars marked "no credit card needed"; the others take a credit card.
The CarmaCars Protection Plan is one of three options for damage to the car; the others are OPCF 27 on your policy or a card with rental car benefits. The deposit is never taken when you book; it comes about 1 hour before pickup. Each extra driver is checked the same way and signs the rental agreement.
How a booking comes together
You begin by requesting a car for your dates; the request is free. Back comes an offer you can read at your own pace, with every charge on it. If the offer works for you, approve and pay to confirm. If not, you owe nothing.
Each listing shows the daily, weekly and monthly rate of that car. Book one day, one week, or up to 365 days at once. Same-day requests are fine with at least 2 hours of notice, when the car is free.
Talk to a person
Tell us your dates and where you want the car, and we will do the rest.
