The figures, translated

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. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Plan on about 24 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.9 L/100 km. At our price setting, it costs about $13.83 to drive 100 km.

Who rents the A4

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.

What the A4 is like

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. NHTSA lists it at 4.76 m long. Check the size of a tight parking spot. The EPA lists 368 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. A request for your dates gets you an offer from a person. We have none on the site right now. Send a request for this exact car and we look for one for your dates.

Before pickup

We need every driver to be at least 18, with an Ontario G2 or G licence. Drivers under 26 can rent with a young driver fee each day. Bring the card you paid with and your original licence to the handover.

You need one of three things in place for damage to the car: OPCF 27 on your own policy, a credit card that covers rentals, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Expect a deposit before every rental; its amount is set by the car. We check your licence and identity before we confirm, the same way for every renter.

What to expect when you book

You request the car online with your dates, and nothing is charged to send it. If the car is free, you get an offer with the full price; if not, we suggest another car. Approve it and the car is booked; decline it and nothing happens.

The photos on a car's page are of that car. A single booking can run up to 365 days. For longer, it renews month after month. Book ahead if you can; 2 hours is the shortest notice we take.
