Courtesy car and the 2021 Audi A4 Technik

Renting the 2021 Audi A4 Technik as a car while yours is off the road works like any rental with us: a free request, an offer, then the keys. 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

Basic is about 3,242 km from our Toronto location, beyond the area we deliver to. We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Basic starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here.

Places around Basic include Brucite, Gabbs and Gabbs Airport.

The figures, translated

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid does the work, 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.

It is rated at 8.3 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 25 litres. For 1,000 km, budget about $128.70 at our price setting.

Space, size and seats

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The trunk holds 340 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who the A4 suits

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

The rules, briefly

Drivers from 18 up, with an Ontario G2 or G licence, are welcome. A daily young driver fee applies to drivers under 26, with no maximum age. Bring the card in your name that paid for the booking.

Every rate includes third-party liability. The car itself needs one of three options: OPCF 27, a card benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Expect a deposit before every rental; its amount is set by the car. Each driver named on the booking signs the rental agreement.

How booking works

You request the car online with your dates, and nothing is charged to send it. The reply is an offer you can read in full before you decide anything. Your card is charged only when you approve the offer.

Each car page lists what is included and what costs extra. A booking can be a single day or up to 365 days. Pickups need at least 2 hours of notice from the time you send the request.
