A note on Patsy

We have no location in Patsy; CarmaCars rents from Toronto, about 1,196 km away. If you need it in Patsy itself, send a request and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.

Next door to Patsy are Elaver, Cherry Valley and Midland.

The numbers in plain words

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

By the EPA's combined rating of 8.4 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 25 litres. A 300 km weekend costs about $44.10 in energy at our price setting.

What the A4 is like

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The body is 4.75 m long and 1.84 m wide. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Luggage space is rated at 368 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who it is for

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

Renting the A4 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 booking steps

Every booking starts as a request: the car, the dates and where you want it. Nothing is charged to send one. We answer with a written offer: the car, the dates, the price and the deposit. Only an approved, paid offer books the car.

Each car shows its rate for a day, a weekend day, a week and a month. For longer stays, each booking of up to 365 days renews with a new agreement. Requests for later the same day work when there are at least 2 hours to spare.

Rules for renters

At pickup you must be 18 or older and carry your original G2 or G licence. We accept young drivers; those under 26 pay a daily fee. Bring the card you paid with and your original licence to the handover.

Before the keys change hands, one of three options must be in place for the car: OPCF 27, a card benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit comes about 1 hour before you get the car, not at booking. Everyone who will drive signs the agreement after the licence check.

Talk to a person

Tell us your dates and where you want the car, and we will do the rest.
