Courtesy car: the 2021 Audi Q5 Progressiv. Here is the car in plain words, and how renting one from CarmaCars works. When your adjuster approves a rental, we can bill your insurance company directly. After a collision, your insurer may pay for the rental once your adjuster approves it.

The Q5 and Mapleton

Mapleton is about 512 km from our Toronto location, beyond the area we deliver to. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Mapleton.

Peninsula Township, Neahtawanta and Old Mission are the closest places to Mapleton on our list.

Specs, explained

It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid and all-wheel drive. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

Plan on about 26 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 8.8 L/100 km. It can cover about 644 km on electricity before switching to gas. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $40.92 at our price setting.

Who rents the Q5

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.

Size and space

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length. NHTSA lists it at 4.68 m long. It fits most condo and driveway spots.

Getting one from us

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

Booking, step by step

First, a request: the car you like, when you need it, and where. No payment yet. If the car is free, you get an offer with the full price; if not, we suggest another car. You pay when you approve, and only then.

Prices on each car's page are before tax, and the offer adds the tax. Stay as long as you need: up to 365 days a booking, then renew. At least 2 hours must separate the request from the pickup.

What to have ready

An Ontario G2 or G licence and an age of 18 or more are the starting point. There is no upper age limit, and drivers under 26 pay a fee for each day. At pickup, have your original licence and the payment card ready.

The CarmaCars Protection Plan is one of three options for damage to the car; the others are OPCF 27 on your policy or a card with rental car benefits. The deposit is taken about 1 hour before pickup, never when you book. Every driver's licence and identity are checked before we confirm.

Ask us

Request a car, read the offer, and decide. That is the whole process.
