Collision replacement car: red 2021 Ford Explorer Timberline in Ruby

The 2021 Ford Explorer Timberline: Collision replacement car

If a car while yours is off the road is the plan, the 2021 Ford Explorer Timberline is worth a look; here is why. After a collision, your insurer may pay for the rental once your adjuster approves it. When your adjuster approves a rental, we can bill your insurance company directly.

Ruby and the Explorer

Ruby is about 943 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area. We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Ruby starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here.

If you are near Ruby, Huron, Arnold and Holcombe are close too.

Specs, explained

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 11.4 L/100 km, which means roughly 34 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $17.67.

Space and size

Being a full-size SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

Who rents the Explorer

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Our Explorer cars

Ask for this exact car in your request, and we tell you what we can offer. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now.

From your dates to the handover

You choose a car and your dates online and send a request. Sending it costs nothing. We answer with a written offer: the car, the dates, the price and the deposit. Pay when you approve, not a minute before.

The calendar on each car's page helps you pick dates that work. Trips of 7 days or more use the weekly rate, and shorter trips never cost more than it. A request can be for today, as long as the pickup is at least 2 hours away.

Who can rent

At pickup you must be 18 or older and carry your original G2 or G licence. Each day of the rental carries a young driver fee if a driver is under 26. Your original licence, not a photo, comes with you to the handover.

You pick how damage to the car is handled before pickup: OPCF 27, a credit card benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is separate from the rental price and is returned after the rental. Licence and identity checks happen before the booking is confirmed.
