Courtesy car: silver 2021 Ford Explorer Timberline in Ruby

Renting 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.

Renting for Ruby

If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Ruby. We have no location in Ruby; CarmaCars rents from Toronto, about 1,626 km away.

The pages for Hopewell, Beech Grove and Gatesville cover the areas next door.

What the specs mean

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.

Expect about 34 litres for every 300 km, going by its 11.4 L/100 km combined rating. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $17.67, and a 300 km weekend about $53.01.

Good uses for the Explorer

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Space, size and seats

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

In our fleet

If you want this one, say so in the request; we confirm before you pay. We have none on the site right now. Send a request for this exact car and we look for one for your dates. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now.

What happens when you ask for a car

Requests are free: choose a car, add your dates, and send it. We review it and reply with an offer that shows the whole price, delivery included when you asked for it. Pay when you approve, not a minute before.

The car pages show each car's rates, deposit and kilometres included. The longer the booking, the lower the rate a day tends to be. Book ahead if you can; 2 hours is the shortest notice we take.

What you need to rent

Drivers 18 and older can rent with a valid Ontario G2 or G licence. If you are under 26, expect a young driver fee each day; there is no upper age limit. Bring a card in your name; a card in someone else's name cannot be used.

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. The deposit is separate from the rental price and is returned after the rental. Additional drivers can be added; each one meets the same rules and signs the agreement.

Questions first?

Request a car, read the offer, and decide. That is the whole process.
