Luup alternative with this car

If you need a rental car, read about the 2012 Audi A3 here, then request it. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.

The numbers in plain words

Its powertrain is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Combined fuel use is 7.4 L/100 km: about 22 litres for 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $34.41 at our price setting.

Who the A3 suits

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Space, size and seats

As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. Luggage space is rated at 566 litres: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Rent this car

Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. Ask for this exact car in your request, and we tell you what we can offer. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.

What to expect when you book

To get started, send a request for the car and dates. You are not charged for it. The offer we send lists the car we confirm and the full price. You decide: approve and pay, or let it go. No charge either way until you approve.

Every car on the site has a page of its own, with its calendar and its rates. From one day to 365, a single booking covers it. We need at least 2 hours of notice before a pickup.

Who qualifies

At pickup you must be 18 or older and carry your original G2 or G licence. Drivers under 26 pay a young driver fee for each day, shown on each car's page. Cars marked "no credit card needed" accept a debit card in your name; the others need a credit card.

Liability to other people is included in every rate. For the car itself, pick your own policy (OPCF 27), a card with rental car benefits, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Each car shows its deposit, and we take it about 1 hour before pickup. Every driver's licence and identity are checked before we confirm.
