Luup alternative: silver 2021 Audi Q5 Progressiv in Cuesta de Edificios

Luup alternative and the 2021 Audi Q5 Progressiv

Luup alternative: the 2021 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.

The Q5 and Cuesta de Edificios

If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Cuesta de Edificios. CarmaCars is based in Toronto, about 3,323 km from Cuesta de Edificios, and does not deliver there.

The pages for Cruz de Caminos (La Cruz del Sauz), La Troja and La Manga cover the areas next door.

Engine and fuel

Power: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid; drive: all-wheel drive. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

The EPA rates it at 8.8 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 26 litres. On electricity alone it is rated for about 644 km before the gas engine takes over. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $136.40.

Space and size

The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic. NHTSA's Canadian figures put it at 4.68 m long. It fits most condo and driveway spots.

Good uses for the Q5

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits short daily drives on electricity with gas for longer trips.

Getting one from us

None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Put this car and your dates in a request, and we reply with an offer. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now.

The rules, briefly

Ontario G2 or G licences are accepted, for drivers 18 and older. Young drivers are welcome: a daily fee applies under 26. You show your original licence and your card when we hand you the keys.

You need one of three things in place for damage to the car: OPCF 27 on your own policy, a credit card that covers rentals, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit comes about 1 hour before you get the car, not at booking. Every driver's licence and identity are checked before we confirm.

How booking works

Choose a car, set the pickup and return times, and send the request. You pay nothing to ask. We answer with a written offer: the car, the dates, the price and the deposit. Payment happens only after you accept the offer.

Rates are set car by car and shown on each car's page. Short trips and long stays use the same request; the rate follows the length. Allow 2 hours or more between your request and the pickup time.

One more step

Choose a car above and send a request. A person replies with an offer, and you pay only if you approve it.
