Here is the 2021 Ford Escape SE from the angle of someone searching for Turo alternative. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.

Renting for Ruby

Ruby is about 1,626 km from our Toronto location, beyond the area we deliver to. If you need it in Ruby itself, send a request and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.

Next door to Ruby are Hopewell, Beech Grove and Gatesville.

What the figures tell you

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. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Plan on about 23 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.8 L/100 km. Expect about $12.09 per 100 km at our price setting.

Best uses

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Inside and out

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

In our fleet

Ask for your dates, and we reply with what we can offer. 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.

Before you rent

You need to be 18 or older at pickup, with an Ontario G2 or G licence valid for the whole rental. There is no maximum age. Drivers under 26 pay a young driver fee each day. The payment card and the licence must match the driver's name.

For damage to the car itself, have your own policy (OPCF 27), a credit card with rental car coverage, or add the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is never taken when you book; it comes about 1 hour before pickup. Each extra driver is checked the same way and signs the rental agreement.

Booking, step by step

The first step is a free request: which car, which dates, and how you want to get it. Our reply is an offer that lists the rate, the kilometres included and any delivery fee. If you approve, you pay and the car is yours for those dates.

The rates you see on a car's page are the rates in your offer. A booking can be a single day or up to 365 days. Plan for at least 2 hours between sending the request and picking up the car.

When you know your dates

Ready? Request the car. If you change your mind before approving the offer, nothing is charged.
