Loaner car: red 2021 Audi A4 Technik in Patsy

Loaner car and the 2021 Audi A4 Technik

If a car while yours is off the road is the plan, the 2021 Audi A4 Technik is worth a look; here is why. 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 A4 and Patsy

We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Patsy starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here. CarmaCars is based in Toronto, about 1,196 km from Patsy, and does not deliver there.

Elaver, Cherry Valley and Midland are the neighbouring places on our list.

Under the hood

The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid with all-wheel drive and a 7-speed automatic. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

Combined fuel use is 8.3 L/100 km: about 25 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $12.87 to drive 100 km.

Inside and out

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The EPA lists 340 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who rents the A4

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.

Renting the A4 from CarmaCars

Tell us your dates and we check this car or the closest match. This exact car is not in our fleet at the moment; a request asks us to look for one. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now.

Who can rent

You need an Ontario G2 or G licence, valid for the whole rental, and to be 18 or older. The young driver fee covers drivers under 26; older drivers pay no age fee. 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. The deposit is separate from the rental price and is returned after the rental. Name every driver in your request, and each is checked before pickup.

How booking works

The first step is a free request: which car, which dates, and how you want to get it. Someone on our team confirms the car is free for those dates and sends you an offer with every charge listed. Approve it and the car is booked; decline it and nothing happens.

The calendar on each car's page helps you pick dates that work. From 7 days, the weekly rate takes over. Allow 2 hours or more between your request and the pickup time.

Send a request

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