A hybrid SUV that goes the distance
Drive an Escape Hybrid
The Ford Escape Hybrid blends compact SUV space with hybrid efficiency, and Edmunds calls it "comfortable and easy to drive." Expect a smooth ride and 39 mpg combined from a self-charging system, so there's no plug to hunt down. For more of the lineup, browse every Ford rental on Turo.
On Turo, you book an Escape Hybrid from a local vehicle owner, then choose pickup or delivery where it's offered. Each listing shows photos, ratings, reviews, and pricing, so you can compare trims and features before you commit to the one that fits your plans.

Efficiency that earns its keep
The Escape Hybrid returns 39 mpg combined, and FWD versions are rated at 42 city / 36 hwy. Edmunds averaged 38.4 mpg in real-world testing, so the official numbers hold up off the spec sheet. It's self-charging, too — you'll never need a plug, a cord, or a charging station.
Room for the whole crew
Five seats and 34.4 cu ft of cargo space with every seat up give you room for people and their stuff. That's enough for carry-ons, checked bags, and a cooler, with no one riding with a suitcase on their lap. Edmunds also praises the roomy seating, which matters when you're logging hours on the highway.
Pack smart for longer trips: soft duffels tuck into corners that hard-shell cases can't, and they stack neatly in the cargo area. Traveling with bulky gear? Check the listing photos before you book, so the cargo area holds no surprises on pickup day.
A smooth, easygoing drive
A 2.5L four-cylinder engine teams up with an electric motor for 192 hp, sent through an eCVT. Power builds smoothly and steadily, which makes merging and city driving feel relaxed. Edmunds calls the ride smooth and the controls easy to use, so you'll feel at home within the first few miles.
That ease matters on a rental, since you won't spend your first 20 minutes decoding menus in a parking garage. Instead, you'll adjust your mirrors, pair your phone, and get on with your day. It's an SUV that stays out of your way and lets the trip take center stage.
Stand out with an Escape Hybrid
The Escape Hybrid fits city trips, weekend getaways, daily commutes, and longer stays, with more room than a sedan and hybrid savings that add up. Families get five seats and real cargo space, while commuters get an SUV that sips gas in stop-and-go traffic. Compare it with other SUV rentals on Turo to find the right match for your plans.
Top Escape Hybrid features
Two hybrid paths
Three things set the Escape Hybrid apart: flexible hybrid options, available AWD, and comfort upgrades on higher trims.
The Escape Hybrid belongs to a lineup with two ways to go hybrid. The standard hybrid charges itself as you drive, so it never needs a plug. A plug-in hybrid version also exists, offering 37 miles of electric range when it's charged.
For most guests, the standard hybrid is the simpler pick. You won't plan your route around chargers or hunt for an outlet, and you still get 39 mpg combined. If a listing you're eyeing is the plug-in version, read the description for charging details before your trip.
All-weather confidence
Available AWD gives the Escape Hybrid extra traction when the forecast turns, whether you're on rain-slicked highways or a snowy drive to a ski town. AWD comes standard on the ST-Line Select trim. Edmunds cites the same 39 mpg combined for AWD and FWD, so you don't give up efficiency for that added grip.
Heading somewhere with real winter weather? Confirm the drivetrain in the listing description before you book. FWD versions suit warmer climates, and both give you the same five seats, cargo space, and self-charging hybrid system.
Comfort upgrades
Step up to the ST-Line Select and you'll get heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, remote start, and a power liftgate. Those extras earn their keep on cold mornings — warm up the cabin before you climb in and keep your hands toasty on the wheel. When your arms are full of bags, the liftgate opens at the push of a button.
Features vary by trim and listing, so check the listing details to see what's included. If heated seats or remote start matter for your trip, confirm them before you book. A quick scan of the feature list now saves you from a chilly surprise later.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Escape Hybrid
Get to know your Escape Hybrid
A little prep makes your trip smoother: know the trims, drive with a light touch, and understand how pricing works.
Escape Hybrid trims start at ST-Line, and features change as you move up. The ST-Line Select adds standard AWD plus the cold-weather comfort upgrades above. Check each listing's feature list, so you know exactly what you're getting before pickup.
While you're at it, scan the listing photos, recent guest reviews, and pickup or delivery options. Those details tell you how the trip will feel well before you take the wheel.
Traveling with a larger group? A Ford Explorer rental or Ford Expedition rental gives you a bigger cabin and more cargo room. For a bolder look, a Ford Bronco rental brings standout style to city streets and scenic drives.
Escape Hybrid driving tips
Drive smoothly to get the most from the hybrid system. Gentle acceleration and gradual braking let regenerative braking recapture energy, and they help the SUV lean on electric assist around town. You'll see the payoff at the pump.
The Escape Hybrid runs quietly at low speeds, so stay alert for pedestrians in parking lots, driveways, and busy neighborhoods.
With a 14.3 gal tank and 39 mpg combined, you'll stop for gas less often. Return the Escape Hybrid with the same fuel level it had at pickup.
How much does it cost to rent an Escape Hybrid?
Escape Hybrid prices vary by location, dates, and trip length. Discounts may apply to weekly and monthly trips, so a longer booking can bring down what you pay per day. Try a few different trip lengths in search to see how the total changes.
Planning to stay a month or more? A long-term car rental on Turo gives you a hybrid SUV for the long haul. Compare listings in your area to find the price, trim, and pickup option that fit your plans.
