Auto rental: brown 2019 Audi Q3 Progressiv in Simplot

Auto rental: the 2019 Audi Q3 Progressiv

If a rental car is the plan, the 2019 Audi Q3 Progressiv is worth a look; here is why. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.

The Q3 and Simplot

CarmaCars is based in Toronto, about 2,985 km from Simplot, and does not deliver there. We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Simplot starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here.

Around Simplot you will also find Weitz, Enrose and Caldwell.

The figures, translated

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. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

The EPA rates it at 10.6 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 32 litres. Every 100 km costs about $16.43 in fuel at our price setting.

What the Q3 is like

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. NHTSA lists it at 4.48 m long. It fits most condo and driveway spots.

Who the Q3 suits

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.

Renting this car

Tell us your dates and we check this car or the closest match. We have none on the site right now. Send a request for this exact car and we look for one for your dates. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below.

What to bring

An Ontario G2 or G licence and an age of 18 or more: that is where it starts. The young driver fee covers drivers under 26; older drivers pay no age fee. Payment is by a card in your name, shown with your licence at pickup.

Third-party liability comes with every rate. For the car itself: your own policy with OPCF 27, a card that covers rentals, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. A deposit applies to every rental. It is shown on the car's page and taken about 1 hour before pickup. Every driver's licence and identity are checked before we confirm.

Getting the car booked

First, a request: the car you like, when you need it, and where. No payment yet. An offer follows, with the car we confirm and the full price for your dates. An offer is valid for 24 hours, and you pay only when you approve it.

You can see every car's calendar and rates before you send anything. Need it longer than 365 days? Renew with a new agreement when the booking ends. Requests for later the same day work when there are at least 2 hours to spare.

Ready when you are

When the dates are set, a request gets you a real price.
