Drive a Escape PHEV
The Escape PHEV is a plug-in hybrid compact SUV that covers up to 37 miles on electricity alone, then drives like a regular hybrid. Its powertrain makes 210 hp of total system power. Browse Ford car rental listings on Turo to find one near you.
On Turo, you book your Escape PHEV from a local vehicle owner in the Turo app and arrange pickup and return times. Before you book, check the listing for a charging cable and the charge level at pickup.

Electric miles with a hybrid safety net
The Escape PHEV gives you up to 37 electric miles before its 2.5L four-cylinder gas engine steps in. It's rated at 101 MPGe combined and 40 mpg combined on gas. Fill the 11.1-gallon tank and total range reaches an EPA-estimated 560 miles — so range anxiety can stay home.
Charging that fits your trip
The Escape PHEV recharges in about 3.4 hours on a 240V outlet. That means an afternoon at your rental or a night at the hotel can get you back to full electric range before your next outing.
It comes from the factory with a mobile cord for a standard 120V outlet — check the listing to confirm it's in the car. No outlet at all? No problem. The Escape PHEV runs as a regular hybrid when it isn't plugged in, so you can keep driving and still enjoy hybrid efficiency. Plug in when it's convenient, skip it when it isn't, and your plans stay on track.
Room for five and the weekend bags
The Escape PHEV seats five and gives you 34.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row. Fold that row down and the space grows to 60.8 cubic feet — plenty for suitcases, a cooler, and a stroller.
Front-seat passengers get 42.4 inches of legroom, and second-row riders get 38.9 inches, so nobody has to call dibs on the front seat. A power liftgate makes loading easier when your arms are full of bags or groceries. It's a practical pick for a family visit, a weekend away, or a big shopping run.
Stand out with a Escape PHEV
The Escape PHEV shines on city stays, daily commutes, and errands you can handle on electric power, with gas backup ready for weekend trips. It's also an easy way to try a plug-in before you buy — live with it for a few days and see how charging fits. Compare it with other SUV rentals on Turo to find the right fit for your trip.
Top Escape PHEV features
A 13.2-inch center display
The Escape PHEV's 13.2-inch center display gives you a big, clear screen right in the middle of the dash. The touchscreen is intuitive, which matters when you're getting to know a new vehicle on a short trip.
You won't need to hunt through menus to change a setting or find what you need. Take a minute before you pull away to set up your audio and climate controls, then keep your focus on the drive. It's a simple way to make an unfamiliar SUV feel like your own from the first mile.
Driver-assist tech that helps on the highway
The Escape PHEV's adaptive cruise control and lane centering work well on the highway, which takes some strain out of long stretches between destinations. Blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, and a pre-collision system add another set of eyes on the road.
A backup camera helps you ease into tight parking spots at hotels, garages, and busy grocery stores. The Escape PHEV also earned a five-star overall safety rating from NHTSA. Most driver aids come standard, but equipment can vary by trim, so check the listing for the details on the Escape PHEV you book.
Cabin comforts for every season
The Escape PHEV keeps you comfortable with a heated steering wheel and heated front seats, which make chilly mornings much easier to face. An eight-way power driver's seat lets you dial in your position quickly, even when you swap drivers.
Remote start lets you warm up or cool down the cabin before you climb in. Once you're moving, the ride stays quiet and comfortable — especially when you're cruising on electric power. It's the kind of everyday ease that makes a rental feel less like a stand-in and more like your own vehicle.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Escape PHEV
A little planning around charging and return levels makes your Escape PHEV trip smoother. Here's what to know before you book.
Get to know your Escape PHEV
The Escape PHEV is a plug-in hybrid, so you can charge its battery from an outlet and drive up to 37 miles on electricity alone. A conventional hybrid charges its battery on the go and doesn't plug in. The Escape PHEV is front-wheel drive and built for paved city streets and highway miles.

Escape PHEV driving tips
Start each day with a charged battery to get the most electric miles out of your Escape PHEV. When the battery runs low, the SUV switches to gas automatically, so you won't get stranded mid-errand.
Return the Escape PHEV with the same fuel and battery level it had at pickup. Take photos of the fuel and charge gauges at pickup and again at return. The local vehicle owner can invoice you for missing fuel or charge, and a low-battery fee applies if you return the vehicle under 20%.
How much does it cost to rent a Escape PHEV?
Escape PHEV rental prices on Turo vary because local vehicle owners set their own rates based on location, dates, and vehicle. Escape listings we've seen on Turo ranged about $49–$84 per day across trims.
You can often save more on longer trips. Listings can offer trip-duration discounts for three-day, weekly, two-week, three-week, and monthly trips. You'll also get a 10% non-refundable discount when you book four or more days ahead.
Planning to stay 30 days or longer? Look into long-term car rental on Turo for monthly trips.

* 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.
