Courtesy car: silver 2021 Audi Q3 Progressiv in Haystack

Renting the 2021 Audi Q3 Progressiv

Courtesy car: the 2021 Audi Q3 Progressiv. 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.

Haystack and the Q3

The pages for Petaluma, Lakeville and Penngrove cover the areas next door.

Reading the spec sheet

The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

Fuel use is rated 9.3 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 28 litres. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $43.26 at our price setting.

Room inside

Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well. The trunk holds 481 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.

When the Q3 makes sense

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Can I rent it?

None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Similar cars are below if you need one sooner. A request for your dates gets you an offer from a person. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.

What to expect when you book

To book, you request the car for your dates. There is no charge to send it and no obligation. If the car is free, you get an offer with the full price; if not, we suggest another car. You decide: approve and pay, or let it go. No charge either way until you approve.

Each car shows its rate for a day, a weekend day, a week and a month. Book one day, one week, or up to 365 days at once. A request can be for today, as long as the pickup is at least 2 hours away.

What we check

Ontario G2 or G licences are accepted, for drivers 18 and older. There is no maximum age. Drivers under 26 pay a young driver fee each day. At pickup, have your original licence and the payment card ready.

For damage to the car itself, have your own policy (OPCF 27), a credit card with rental car coverage, or add the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit comes about 1 hour before you get the car, not at booking. Each driver named on the booking signs the rental agreement.

Ready to ask?

Questions, dates or both: put them in a request and we answer.
