Colour notes

Tell us if blue is a must or a preference, and we look accordingly. In blue, the Q5 looks like the studio image; real photos are on each car's page. If blue matters for an event, say so and we look for one for your dates.

Reading the spec sheet

Its powertrain is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid with all-wheel drive. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

The EPA rates it at 8.8 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 26 litres. It can cover about 644 km on electricity before switching to gas. At our price setting, it costs about $13.64 to drive 100 km.

Who rents the Q5

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits short daily drives on electricity with gas for longer trips.

What to expect from the Q5

It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy. At 4.68 m from bumper to bumper, it is mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots.

How to book

You choose a car and your dates online and send a request. Sending it costs nothing. You receive an offer with the price, the deposit and what is included. Say yes to the offer and pay; that is when the booking is made.

Prices on each car's page are before tax, and the offer adds the tax. Rent for a day, a week or up to 365 days in one booking. Leave at least 2 hours between your request and the pickup.

Driver basics

We need every driver to be at least 18, with an Ontario G2 or G licence. There is no upper age limit, and drivers under 26 pay a fee for each day. You show your original licence and your card when we hand you the keys.

Liability to others is in the rate. Damage to the car is handled by your policy (OPCF 27), your card's rental benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan, priced in your offer. The deposit is taken shortly before pickup, and the balance comes back after the return. Each renter is checked the same way, before the booking is confirmed.
