Turo alternative with this car

The 2021 Ford Explorer Timberline is on this page for Turo alternative: here is what to know before you request one. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.

Ruby and the Explorer

We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Ruby starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here. CarmaCars is based in Toronto, about 1,626 km from Ruby, and does not deliver there.

Places around Ruby include Hopewell, Beech Grove and Gatesville.

The figures, translated

The 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo, paired with a 10-speed automatic, drives it. 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.

Plan on about 34 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 11.4 L/100 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $53.01 at our price setting.

What to expect from the Explorer

As a full-size SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.

Who it is for

It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.

Renting it

Tell us your dates and we check this car or the closest match. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below.

Booking, step by step

Tell us the car and the dates in a request. There is no fee for asking. An offer follows, with the car we confirm and the full price for your dates. You have 24 hours to approve an offer, and payment comes with your approval.

The photos on a car's page are of that car. Rent for a day, a week or up to 365 days in one booking. Same-day requests are fine with at least 2 hours of notice, when the car is free.

Before pickup

We need every driver to be at least 18, with an Ontario G2 or G licence. From 26, no age fee applies; below it, a daily young driver fee does. Bring the card you paid with and your original licence 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 comes about 1 hour before you get the car, not at booking. Each extra driver is checked the same way and signs the rental agreement.
