Luup alternative: yellow 2020 Audi Q5 Progressiv in Ruby

Luup alternative with this car

Luup alternative: the 2020 Audi Q5 Progressiv. Here is the car in plain words, and how renting one from CarmaCars works. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.

Renting for Ruby

If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Ruby. CarmaCars is based in Toronto, about 281 km from Ruby, and does not deliver there.

Next door to Ruby are Abbottsford, Atkins and The Lakes Mobile Home Park.

Under the hood

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 helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

Rated at 9.7 L/100 km combined, it needs around 29 litres for a 300 km round trip. For 1,000 km, budget about $169.70 at our price setting.

Size and space

As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier. At 4.66 m from bumper to bumper, it is mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots.

Who rents the Q5

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.

Can you rent one?

None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Your request can name this exact car; the offer confirms what we can give you. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now.

Your request, our offer, your keys

You start by asking: a car, a start time, an end time. Asking is free. If the car is free, you get an offer with the full price; if not, we suggest another car. The car is yours for those dates once you approve and pay the offer.

The car pages show each car's rates, deposit and kilometres included. A week or more is priced at the weekly rate, from 7 days. Requests for later the same day work when there are at least 2 hours to spare.

Driver basics

An Ontario G2 or G licence and an age of 18 or more: that is where it starts. Age fees stop at 26: younger drivers pay a daily young driver fee. Cars marked "no credit card needed" accept a debit card in your name; the others need a credit card.

You pick how damage to the car is handled before pickup: OPCF 27, a credit card benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is taken shortly before pickup, and the balance comes back after the return. Licence and identity checks happen before the booking is confirmed.
