Renting the 2018 Buick Encore
For a rental car, the 2018 Buick Encore could fit; below, the figures and how booking works. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.
Reading the spec sheet
The engine is the 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Combined fuel use is 8.1 L/100 km: about 24 litres for 300 km. That works out to about $12.56 per 100 km at our price setting.
When the Encore makes sense
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
How big it is
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.

Getting the car booked
All you send at first is a request with the car and the dates, and it is free. Our offer spells out the rate, the delivery fee if any, and the deposit. Approve it and the car is booked; decline it and nothing happens.
The rates you see on a car's page are the rates in your offer. One booking runs up to 365 days, and a longer stay renews with a new agreement. Allow 2 hours or more between your request and the pickup time.
Before pickup
Ontario G2 or G licence holders aged 18 and up can request a car. If you are under 26, expect a young driver fee each day; there is no upper age limit. You show your original licence and your card when we hand you the keys.
Liability to other people is included in every rate. For the car itself, pick your own policy (OPCF 27), a card with rental car benefits, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is never taken when you book; it comes about 1 hour before pickup. Before confirming, we verify the licence and identity of each driver.
Talk to a person
Request a car, read the offer, and decide. That is the whole process.
