Under the hood

Its 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo drives through a 10-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Four-wheel drive helps on rough ground and deep snow; on dry roads it behaves like any other vehicle.

It is rated at 11.4 L/100 km combined, so budget about 34 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $17.67 to drive 100 km.

Practical details

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

A good match for

It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Requesting a car

Send the request with your dates first; no money changes hands at that stage. A real person reviews your request and sends an offer with the price spelled out. You pay when you approve, and only then.

Each car shows its rate for a day, a weekend day, a week and a month. A rental of 7 days or longer is priced at the weekly rate. Pickups need at least 2 hours of notice from the time you send the request.

Who qualifies

From age 18, with an Ontario G2 or G licence, you can send a request. There is no upper age limit, and drivers under 26 pay a fee for each day. Payment is by a card in your name, shown with your licence at pickup.

Three options cover damage to the car: OPCF 27 on your auto policy, a credit card with rental car benefits, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Your deposit is held for the rental and released after the car comes back and is checked. Everyone who will drive signs the agreement after the licence check.

A request takes a few minutes and puts a real offer in front of you.
