Rent a blue 2017 Audi Q7 Progressiv in Ruby

The 2017 Audi Q7 Progressiv, explained

This page covers the 2017 Audi Q7 Progressiv, a full-size SUV. The Progressiv is trim 2 of 3 in the Canadian lineup of the 2017 Audi Q7.

The Q7 and Ruby

If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Ruby. Ruby is about 250 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area.

Next door to Ruby are Zadow, Castile and Silver Lake.

The Q7 in blue

Our blue cars, when we have them, appear first in the list. We cannot promise a colour until we confirm; ask for blue and we try. In blue, the Q7 looks like the studio image; real photos are on each car's page.

What the figures tell you

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

It is rated at 10.8 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 32 litres. Driving 300 km costs roughly $56.70 at our price setting.

Room inside

Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.

Who the Q7 suits

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Renting the Q7 from CarmaCars

If you want this one, say so in the request; we confirm before you pay. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Similar cars are below if you need one sooner.

The rules, briefly

Renters must be at least 18 and hold an Ontario G2 or G licence. There is no maximum age. Drivers under 26 pay a young driver fee each day. The card must be in the driver's name, and we check it with the licence in person.

Third-party liability is part of every rate, and damage to the car is handled by OPCF 27, a card benefit or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. We hold the deposit shortly before pickup and release it after the return. We check your licence and identity before we confirm, the same way for every renter.

The steps

Booking starts online: pick the car, set the times, and send the request at no cost. Our offer spells out the rate, the delivery fee if any, and the deposit. You pay only once you approve the offer.

A car's page shows the deposit and the kilometres included each day. The longer the booking, the lower the rate a day tends to be. Short notice is fine: 2 hours is the minimum before a pickup.
