Engine and fuel

The powertrain here is the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

By the EPA's combined rating of 7.8 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 23 litres. Driving 300 km costs roughly $36.27 at our price setting.

Who it is for

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Living with the Escape

The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.

Renting it

There is no exact match in our fleet today. Request it and we search for one, or take a similar car. Ask for this exact car in your request, and we tell you what we can offer. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below.

What we need from you

An Ontario G2 or G licence and an age of 18 or more: that is where it starts. No maximum age, and a daily fee only for drivers under 26. The card must be in the driver's name, and we check it with the licence in person.

Third-party liability is in the rate; for the car, bring OPCF 27, use your card's benefit, or add the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is released after the return, once the car is checked. Every renter goes through the same check of licence and identity before the car is confirmed.

The booking steps

Choose a car, set the pickup and return times, and send the request. You pay nothing to ask. The offer comes from a person, not a robot, and it carries the full price. Approve the offer to book the car. That is the moment you pay, not before.

Compare cars side by side by opening their pages. Longer trips cost less a day: the weekly rate starts at 7 days. With 2 hours of notice or more, a same-day pickup can work when the car is free.
