The figures, translated

Power: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo; drive: all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

Combined fuel use is 10.8 L/100 km: about 32 litres for 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $189 at our price setting.

Space and size

Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.

Good uses for the Q7

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Can I rent it?

Want a car for specific dates? Put them in the request and we check. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now.

How booking works

You start by asking: a car, a start time, an end time. Asking is free. We confirm and price it, and the offer arrives in your account and by email. If you approve, you pay and the car is yours for those dates.

Rates are set car by car and shown on each car's page. Bookings run from one day up to 365 days at a time. Plan for at least 2 hours between sending the request and picking up the car.

Rules for renters

Every driver needs an Ontario G2 or G licence and must be 18 or older. Young drivers are welcome: a daily fee applies under 26. A card in your name pays for the rental, and we see it with your licence at pickup.

Three options cover damage to the car: OPCF 27 on your auto policy, a credit card with rental car benefits, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is taken shortly before pickup, and the balance comes back after the return. Name every driver in your request, and each is checked before pickup.
