Luup alternative and the 2008 Ford Escape

The 2008 Ford Escape is on this page for Luup alternative: here is what to know before you request one. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.

Engine and fuel

The powertrain here is the 2.3L 4-cylinder hybrid with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Expect about 22 litres for every 300 km, going by its 7.4 L/100 km combined rating. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $114.70.

The Escape in everyday use

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

Good uses for the Escape

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Can you rent one?

Similar cars are below if you need one sooner. 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. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.

Checking your details

An Ontario G2 or G licence and an age of 18 or more are the starting point. A daily young driver fee applies to drivers under 26, with no maximum age. Bring the card you paid with and your original licence to the handover.

Third-party liability is part of every rate, and damage to the car is handled by OPCF 27, a card benefit or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Each car shows its deposit, and we take it about 1 hour before pickup. Name every driver in your request, and each is checked before pickup.

Requesting a car

Send the request with your dates first; no money changes hands at that stage. The offer we send lists the car we confirm and the full price. The booking is confirmed when you approve the offer and pay it.

The calendar on each car's page helps you pick dates that work. A week or more is priced at the weekly rate, from 7 days. Last-minute plans are fine with at least 2 hours of notice.

Ready to ask?

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