The 2017 Audi A3: Turo alternative
If a rental car is the plan, the 2017 Audi A3 is worth a look; here is why. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.
Specs, explained
The 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The combined figure, 6.9 L/100 km, means roughly 21 litres for 300 km. It can cover about 612 km on electricity before switching to gas. A 300 km weekend costs about $32.10 in energy at our price setting.
When the A3 makes sense
It suits short daily drives on electricity with gas for longer trips. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
Space, size and seats
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The EPA measures its luggage space at 396 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Can you rent one?
Your request can name this exact car; the offer confirms what we can give you. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
What we need from you
Drivers 18 and older can rent with a valid Ontario G2 or G licence. No maximum age, and a daily fee only for drivers under 26. At the handover we check your licence and the card in your name.
Damage to the car is handled one of three ways: OPCF 27 on your policy, a credit card's rental car benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. A deposit applies to every rental. It is shown on the car's page and taken about 1 hour before pickup. We verify licences and identity for every renter, with no exceptions.
What happens when you ask for a car
First you send a request with the car and the times. No card is charged for it. We confirm and price it, and the offer arrives in your account and by email. You have 24 hours to approve an offer, and payment comes with your approval.
Prices on each car's page are before tax, and the offer adds the tax. Book by the week from 7 days, or by the month up to 365 days. Last-minute plans are fine with at least 2 hours of notice.
