Reading the spec sheet

Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through a 7-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

The combined figure, 7.9 L/100 km, means roughly 24 litres for 300 km. That works out to about $13.83 per 100 km at our price setting.

A good match for

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

Living with the A4

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. It is 4.76 m from end to end. Check the size of a tight parking spot. With 368 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Getting this car from us

If you want this one, say so in the request; we confirm before you pay. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below.

Request, offer, keys

Choose the car and your times, then send a request. A request does not hold the car, and it costs nothing. An offer follows, with the car we confirm and the full price for your dates. If the offer works for you, approve and pay to confirm. If not, you owe nothing.

Prices on each car's page are before tax, and the offer adds the tax. Weekly pricing starts at 7 days, and a trip never costs more than that rate for a week. Same-day requests are fine with at least 2 hours of notice, when the car is free.

What we need from you

Every driver needs an Ontario G2 or G licence and must be 18 or older. There is no maximum age. Drivers under 26 pay a young driver fee each day. Bring the card in your name that paid for the booking.

Before the keys change hands, one of three options must be in place for the car: OPCF 27, a card benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. A deposit is held for every rental, about 1 hour before you get the car. Each driver named on the booking signs the rental agreement.

Over to you

A request takes a few minutes and puts a real offer in front of you.
