Mapleton and the A4

Mapleton is about 928 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Mapleton.

Next door to Mapleton are Chapman, State Road and Castle Hill.

Reading the spec sheet

The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, with all-wheel drive. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

The combined figure, 8.3 L/100 km, means roughly 25 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $12.87.

Who the A4 suits

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

The A4 in everyday use

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The EPA lists 340 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Renting it

A request for your dates gets you an offer from a person. 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.

Renting: the basics

From age 18, with an Ontario G2 or G licence, you can send a request. No maximum age, and a daily fee only for drivers under 26. A card in the driver's own name is required at the handover.

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 is taken shortly before pickup, and the balance comes back after the return. Licence and identity checks happen before the booking is confirmed.

From your dates to the handover

A booking with us starts as a request that you send without paying. Then we send an offer. The offer shows the price before 13% HST and the deposit. Your card is charged only when you approve the offer.

Each car page lists what is included and what costs extra. Trips of 7 days or more use the weekly rate, and shorter trips never cost more than it. We need at least 2 hours of notice before a pickup.
