Turo alternative: 2021 Ford Escape S in Danforth

Turo alternative with this car

For a rental car, here is what the 2021 Ford Escape S brings, and how to request one. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.

The Escape and Danforth

If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Danforth. Danforth is about 1,178 km from our Toronto location, beyond the area we deliver to.

Novinger, Connelsville and Nineveh are the neighbouring places on our list.

Reading the spec sheet

The 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo does the work, through an 8-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.

Plan on about 23 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.8 L/100 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $36.27 at our price setting.

The Escape in everyday use

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

When the Escape makes sense

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Driver requirements

The minimum age is 18, and the licence must be an Ontario G2 or G, valid for the whole trip. Young drivers are welcome: a daily fee applies under 26. The card you pay with must be yours, and you bring it to the handover.

You need one of three things in place for damage to the car: OPCF 27 on your own policy, a credit card that covers rentals, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is taken shortly before pickup, and the balance comes back after the return. Each driver named on the booking signs the rental agreement.

Booking in plain terms

To book, you request the car for your dates. There is no charge to send it and no obligation. We look at the request and send back an offer with the price for your exact dates. 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. A single booking can run up to 365 days. For longer, it renews month after month. A request can be for today, as long as the pickup is at least 2 hours away.
