A compact Ford Escape SUV rental that does a little of everything
Drive a Escape
A Ford Escape SUV rental gives you five seats, a compact footprint that's easy to park, and a choice of turbocharged EcoBoost or hybrid power. Depending on the listing, you'll get a 180 hp turbo three, a 250 hp turbo four, or a hybrid, with front- or all-wheel drive. Compare it with the rest of the lineup through Ford rental options on Turo.
On Turo, you book the exact Escape you see in the listing from a local vehicle owner — no "or similar" guesswork. Pick the year, trim, and powertrain that suit your trip, then choose the pickup or delivery option that fits your plans.

Turbocharged power with real punch
The available 2.0L EcoBoost four-cylinder makes the Escape quicker than its size suggests, with 250 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. In Edmunds testing, it ran 0–60 mph in 6.8 seconds, and all-wheel drive comes standard with this engine. The base 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder still delivers 180 hp — plenty for commutes and city errands.
30 mpg combined, or 39 with the hybrid
The Escape earns 30 mpg combined (27 city, 34 highway) with the 1.5L engine and front-wheel drive. The hybrid climbs to 39 mpg combined, which means fewer gas station stops on a weekend loop or a week of city driving.
Hybrid versions pair a 2.5L Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder with an eCVT for 192 hp of total system power. The plug-in hybrid raises that to 210 hp. If efficiency tops your list, book a hybrid listing — it's an easy way to stretch your trip budget.
Up to 65.4 cu ft of cargo space
The Escape gives you 37.5 cu ft of cargo space behind the second row and 65.4 cu ft with the rear seats folded. That means you can pack suitcases, groceries, or sports gear and still seat all five passengers.
Fold the rear seats and the cargo area opens up for bigger loads — think flat-pack furniture, camping gear, or a carload of moving boxes. When you're done hauling, the Escape's compact size still slips easily into parking garages and tight city spots. It's a practical mix of space and size for trips that change shape along the way.
Stand out with a Escape
The Escape shines on trips that call for flexibility — city stays, weekend getaways for small families or friends, and airport runs. Its compact size makes parking garages and narrow neighborhood streets less stressful, while five seats and a flexible cargo area keep everyone's bags on board. Compare it with other picks in SUV rental on Turo to find the right fit for your crew.
Top Escape features
Ford's first crossover
Three things set the Escape apart: its place in Ford history, a wide choice of powertrains and trims, and real towing capability.
The Escape is Ford's first crossover, introduced for the 2001 model year. Over a 25-year run, it evolved through four generations, each one refining the same formula of compact size and everyday practicality.
Ford built the final Escape on Dec 17, 2025, at Louisville Assembly, making 2026 the last model year. The 2026 model carries over largely unchanged from 2025, so specs line up closely across both final years. Booking one on Turo puts you behind the wheel of the closing chapter of a quarter-century nameplate.
Four powertrains and six trims to choose from
The Escape gives you four powertrain paths: a 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder, a 2.0L EcoBoost four-cylinder, a hybrid, and a plug-in hybrid. The EcoBoost engines use an eight-speed automatic, while the hybrids use an eCVT. Pick the 2.0L for the most power or the hybrid for up to 39 mpg combined.
Trim choices include Active, ST-Line, ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite, Platinum, and Plug-in Hybrid. Each one shifts the balance of comfort, tech, and efficiency a little differently. Check the listing details for the year and trim so you know exactly which Escape you're booking.
Towing for small trailers and gear
The Escape tows up to 3,500 lbs when equipped with the 2.0L EcoBoost and the tow package. The 1.5L engine handles up to 2,000 lbs. That's enough for a small utility trailer on moving day or a compact trailer loaded with gear for a lake weekend.
Before you tow, check the listing to confirm the engine, the hitch, and whether towing is allowed. Message the local vehicle owner with any questions ahead of your trip. Stay within the rated limit, and leave extra braking distance while you tow.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Escape
Get to know your Escape
A few quick checks before you book help you pick the right Escape and get the most from your trip.
Start with the listing — it shows whether the Escape runs on gas, hybrid, or plug-in hybrid power. It also shows front- or all-wheel drive. Those two details shape your fuel stops, winter traction, and towing options.
For a bigger group, a Ford Explorer rental adds space, while a Ford Expedition rental is the largest SUV in the lineup. Want bold, boxy style instead? Check out a Ford Bronco rental.
Escape driving tips
The Escape is easy to drive, and a few simple habits keep your trip on track.
Confirm the fuel type in the listing so you know whether you're driving a gas or hybrid Escape.
Fill up with regular unleaded rated at 87 octane or higher, per Ford's recommendation.
Fold the rear seats for bulky loads, and secure items so they don't shift.
Look for an all-wheel-drive Escape for winter trips or snowy destinations.
Check your trip's fuel policy in the Turo app before you return the Escape.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
