Luup alternative with this car
This 2020 Buick Encore page is written for a rental car: the car first, then renting it from us. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.
Under the hood
Power comes from the 1.3L 3-cylinder turbo, driving through an automatic (CVT). The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Fuel use is rated 7.7 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 23 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $119.40.
Space, size and seats
As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier. At 4.35 m long, it is mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots.
When the Encore makes sense
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.
Our Encore cars
None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. If you want this one, say so in the request; we confirm before you pay. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
How a booking comes together
Choose the car and your times, then send a request. A request does not hold the car, and it costs nothing. Our team answers with an offer: the confirmed car, the dates and the full price. Payment happens only after you accept the offer.
Each car shows its rate for a day, a weekend day, a week and a month. For longer stays, each booking of up to 365 days renews with a new agreement. Leave at least 2 hours between your request and the pickup.
Before you rent
Renters must be at least 18 and hold an Ontario G2 or G licence. The daily young driver fee is shown on each car's page, for drivers under 26. Bring the card in your name that paid for the booking.
Liability to others is in the rate. Damage to the car is handled by your policy (OPCF 27), your card's rental benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan, priced in your offer. We take the deposit shortly before pickup and return it after the car comes back. We check your licence and identity before we confirm, the same way for every renter.

The next step is yours: send a request whenever you are ready.
