Courtesy car: the 2021 Audi A4 Technik

Courtesy car: the 2021 Audi A4 Technik. Here is the car in plain words, and how renting one from CarmaCars works. After a collision, your insurer may pay for the rental once your adjuster approves it. When your adjuster approves a rental, we can bill your insurance company directly.

The A4 and Basic

If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Basic. Basic is about 3,242 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area.

Next door to Basic are Brucite, Gabbs and Gabbs Airport.

The figures, translated

Its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid drives through a 7-speed automatic. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

Its combined rating is 8.3 L/100 km, which means roughly 25 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $38.61 in energy at our price setting.

Practical details
