Courtesy car: silver 2021 Ford Explorer Timberline in Basic

About the 2021 Ford Explorer Timberline

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

The Explorer and Basic

Basic is about 1,527 km from our Toronto location, beyond the area we deliver to. We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Basic starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here.

If you are near Basic, East Enterprise, Roy and West Enterprise are close too.

What the figures tell you

The powertrain here is the 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo with four-wheel drive and a 10-speed automatic. 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.

It is rated 11.4 L/100 km combined: about 34 litres every 300 km. That works out to about $17.67 per 100 km at our price setting.

How big it is

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

Is it right for your trip?

It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.

In our fleet

Put this car and your dates in a request, and we reply with an 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.

What you need to rent

Drivers from 18 up, with an Ontario G2 or G licence, are welcome. If any driver is under 26, a young driver fee is added for each day. Cars marked "no credit card needed" accept a debit card in your name; the others need a credit card.

Third-party liability is included in the rate. For damage to the car, you choose one of three options before pickup. The deposit is never taken when you book; it comes about 1 hour before pickup. If another person will drive, add them; they go through the same check.

Requesting a car

Send a request for the car and dates you have in mind. It is free and it commits you to nothing. A person replies with an offer priced for your dates, not an estimate. Say yes to the offer and pay; that is when the booking is made.

The rates you see on a car's page are the rates in your offer. Need it longer than 365 days? Renew with a new agreement when the booking ends. Same-day requests are fine with at least 2 hours of notice, when the car is free.
