A note on Ruby

We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Ruby starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here. Ruby is about 250 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area.

Nearby places include Zadow, Castile and Silver Lake.

Under the hood

Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, driving through a 7-speed automatic. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

The EPA rates it at 8.8 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 26 litres. It can cover about 644 km on electricity before switching to gas. In energy, every 100 km costs about $13.64 at our price setting.

Inside and out

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length. At 4.68 m long, it is mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots.

Who it is for

Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Renting it

A request for your dates gets you an offer from a person. This exact car is not in our fleet at the moment; a request asks us to look for one. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now.

What you need to rent

If you are 18 or over and hold an Ontario G2 or G licence, you can rent. If you are under 26, expect a young driver fee each day; there is no upper age limit. The card must be in the driver's name, and we check it with the licence in person.

Third-party liability comes with every rate. For the car itself: your own policy with OPCF 27, a card that covers rentals, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is never taken when you book; it comes about 1 hour before pickup. Every renter goes through the same check of licence and identity before the car is confirmed.

Booking in plain terms

You start by asking: a car, a start time, an end time. Asking is free. You get an offer that says exactly what the rental costs before tax. Approve the offer to book the car. That is the moment you pay, not before.

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. Short notice is fine: 2 hours is the minimum before a pickup.

Still deciding?

When the dates are set, a request gets you a real price.
