The 1997 Audi A8: Executive car service
If you need a car with a driver, the 1997 Audi A8 is one option; this page explains the car and how booking works. Chauffeur bookings are by the hour, two hours minimum; send a request and we reply with the vehicle we can offer and the price.
Reading the spec sheet
The 3.7L 8-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Combined fuel use is 13.1 L/100 km: about 39 litres for 300 km. That works out to about $22.93 per 100 km at our price setting.
Best uses
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Room inside
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. It is 5.03 m long. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Luggage space is 510 litres, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Renting this car
Ask for your dates, and we reply with what we can offer. 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. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Driver requirements
Renters must be at least 18 and hold an Ontario G2 or G licence. Young drivers, under 26, can rent too, with a fee for each day. At the handover we check your licence and the card in your name.
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. Each car shows its deposit, and we take it about 1 hour before pickup. Every renter goes through the same check of licence and identity before the car is confirmed.
How it works
Your part at the start is short: choose a car and dates and send a free request. Our offer spells out the rate, the delivery fee if any, and the deposit. Say yes to the offer and pay; that is when the booking is made.
Every car lists its own deposit and the kilometres included each day. A single booking can run up to 365 days. For longer, it renews month after month. Requests for later the same day work when there are at least 2 hours to spare.
