Colour notes

Our red cars, when we have them, appear first in the list. The studio image shows the A4 in red; photos of each real car are on its page. If you want it in red, say so in your request and we look for one for your dates.

The numbers in plain words

The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with all-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

Its combined rating is 8.6 L/100 km, which means roughly 26 litres for 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $45.15 at our price setting.

Space, size and seats

As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The EPA measures its luggage space at 368 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who the A4 suits

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Renting this car

Put this car and your dates in a request, and we reply with an offer. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. There is no exact match in our fleet today. Request it and we search for one, or take a similar car.

Driver basics

Every driver must be 18 or older with an Ontario G2 or G licence. Drivers under 26 pay a young driver fee for each day, shown on each car's page. Cars marked "no credit card needed" accept a debit card in your name; the others need a credit card.

Damage to the car is handled one of three ways: OPCF 27 on your policy, a credit card's rental car benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. A deposit is held for every rental, about 1 hour before you get the car. Every renter goes through the same check of licence and identity before the car is confirmed.

The steps

A booking with us starts as a request that you send without paying. We look at the request and send back an offer with the price for your exact dates. Approve the offer to book the car. That is the moment you pay, not before.

You can see every car's calendar and rates before you send anything. Short trips and long stays use the same request; the rate follows the length. The shortest notice we accept before a pickup is 2 hours.

When you know your dates

When you have your dates, send a request. It is free, and the offer shows the full price.
