Courtesy car: the 2022 Audi Q5 Progressiv

Renting the 2022 Audi Q5 Progressiv as a car while yours is off the road works like any rental with us: a free request, an offer, then the keys. 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 Bald Knobs

If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Bald Knobs. Bald Knobs is about 780 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area.

The pages for Houston, Freetown and Kurtz cover the areas next door.

Engine and fuel

Under the hood: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid and all-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

It is rated at 9.3 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 28 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $43.26 at our price setting.

What to expect from the Q5

The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.

Best uses

Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Rules for renters

Drivers 18 and older can rent with a valid Ontario G2 or G licence. The young driver fee covers drivers under 26; older drivers pay no age fee. Payment is by a card in your name, shown with your licence at pickup.

Third-party liability comes with every rate. For the car itself: your own policy with OPCF 27, a card that covers rentals, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is released after the return, once the car is checked. If another person will drive, add them; they go through the same check.

Getting the car booked

Send a request for the car and dates you have in mind. It is free and it commits you to nothing. Our offer spells out the rate, the delivery fee if any, and the deposit. Pay when you approve, not a minute before.

The photos on a car's page are of that car. Bookings run from one day up to 365 days at a time. Short notice is fine: 2 hours is the minimum before a pickup.

Over to you

Ask for the car, read the offer, approve it if it suits you.
