The 2008 Ford Escape: Car subscription
This 2008 Ford Escape page is written for a car by the month: the car first, then renting it from us. There is no long contract: stop at the end of any booking. One booking runs up to 365 days and renews with a new agreement.
Reading the spec sheet
It is powered by the 2.3L 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. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 22 litres, from its 7.4 L/100 km rating. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $34.41 at our price setting.
Living with the Escape
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Who rents the Escape
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
In our fleet
This exact car is not in our fleet at the moment; a request asks us to look for one. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. Ask for this exact car in your request, and we tell you what we can offer. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Getting the car booked
You ask for the car you want for the dates you need. The request itself is free. The offer we send lists the car we confirm and the full price. Approving the offer and paying it confirms the booking.
The calendar on each car's page helps you pick dates that work. Book by the week from 7 days, or by the month up to 365 days. The minimum notice is 2 hours, so an afternoon pickup can be requested in the morning.
What we need from you
The minimum age is 18, and the licence must be an Ontario G2 or G, valid for the whole trip. There is no maximum age. Drivers under 26 pay a young driver fee each day. The name on the card has to match the name on the licence.
Liability to other people is included in every rate. For the car itself, pick your own policy (OPCF 27), a card with rental car benefits, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Expect a deposit before every rental; its amount is set by the car. Extra drivers are welcome; each one is checked and signs the agreement.
Your move
A request takes a few minutes and puts a real offer in front of you.
