Luup alternative with this car

Luup alternative: the 2021 Ford Escape SE. Here is the car in plain words, and how renting one from CarmaCars works. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.

A note on Ruby Junction

If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Ruby Junction. Ruby Junction is about 1,136 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area.

Around Ruby Junction you will also find Brooklyn, Hibbing and Redore.

Reading the spec sheet

Its powertrain is the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo with 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.

By the EPA's combined rating of 7.8 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 23 litres. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $36.27 at our price setting.

Inside and out

Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.

Who the Escape suits

It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

How booking works

Send the request with your dates first; no money changes hands at that stage. We answer with a written offer: the car, the dates, the price and the deposit. If you approve, you pay and the car is yours for those dates.

Each car has its own page with its photos, its rates and its calendar. A single booking can run up to 365 days. For longer, it renews month after month. Leave at least 2 hours between your request and the pickup.

What we need from you

Drivers 18 and older can rent with a valid Ontario G2 or G licence. Age fees stop at 26: younger drivers pay a daily young driver fee. A credit card in your name is needed, except on cars marked "no credit card needed", which take debit.

The CarmaCars Protection Plan is one of three options for damage to the car; the others are OPCF 27 on your policy or a card with rental car benefits. We hold the deposit shortly before pickup and release it after the return. Additional drivers can be added; each one meets the same rules and signs the agreement.
