About the 2023 Buick Encore
Searching for Luup alternative and the 2023 Buick Encore? Here is what the car is like and how to rent one from us. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.
Under the hood
Under the hood: the 1.2L 3-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Combined fuel use is 7.8 L/100 km: about 23 litres for 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $12.09 at our price setting.
When the Encore makes sense
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
The Encore in everyday use
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
Getting this car from us
Similar cars are below if you need one sooner. 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. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
From request to keys
You request the car online with your dates, and nothing is charged to send it. We check the calendar and your details, then send you an offer with the total. Say yes to the offer and pay; that is when the booking is made.
The photos on a car's page are of that car. Short trips and long stays use the same request; the rate follows the length. With 2 hours of notice or more, a same-day pickup can work when the car is free.
What you need to rent
Every driver needs an Ontario G2 or G licence and must be 18 or older. If any driver is under 26, a young driver fee is added for each day. The card must be in the driver's name, and we check it with the licence in person.
Every rate includes third-party liability. The car itself needs one of three options: OPCF 27, a card benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Your deposit is held for the rental and released after the car comes back and is checked. If another person will drive, add them; they go through the same check.
