About the 2017 Buick Encore
Here is the 2017 Buick Encore, for anyone after a rental car. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.
Reading the spec sheet
Its 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo drives through a 6-speed automatic. 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.
The combined figure, 8.1 L/100 km, means roughly 24 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $37.68 at our price setting.
Space, size and seats
The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic. Length: 4.27 m. Parking on city streets is easy.
Who rents the Encore
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

The steps
Choose a car, set the pickup and return times, and send the request. You pay nothing to ask. A real person reviews your request and sends an offer with the price spelled out. Only an approved, paid offer books the car.
Each car's calendar shows the days it is already booked. Book by the week from 7 days, or by the month up to 365 days. The minimum notice is 2 hours, so an afternoon pickup can be requested in the morning.
Checking your details
The minimum age is 18, and the licence must be an Ontario G2 or G, valid for the whole trip. There is no upper age limit, and drivers under 26 pay a fee for each day. We need to see the card and the licence of the person renting.
Every rate includes third-party liability. The car itself needs one of three options: OPCF 27, a card benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Deposits differ by car. Each car's page shows its amount. A quick licence and identity check happens before we confirm any booking.
