Turo alternative: brown 2021 Audi Q5 Progressiv in Basic

Turo alternative and the 2021 Audi Q5 Progressiv

Turo 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.

Basic and the Q5

If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Basic. We have no location in Basic; CarmaCars rents from Toronto, about 1,527 km away.

East Enterprise, Roy and West Enterprise are the closest places to Basic on our list.

Under the hood

The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, with all-wheel drive and a 7-speed automatic. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

The EPA rates it at 8.8 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 26 litres. It can cover about 644 km on electricity before switching to gas. For 1,000 km, budget about $136.40 at our price setting.

The Q5 in everyday use

Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height. It is 4.68 m from end to end. 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. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.

Can you rent one?

Similar cars are below if you need one sooner. A request for your dates gets you an offer from a person. There is no exact match in our fleet today. Request it and we search for one, or take a similar car.

What we ask of drivers

Drivers 18 and older can rent with a valid Ontario G2 or G licence. Young drivers are welcome: a daily fee applies under 26. The card you pay with must be yours, and you bring it to the handover.

Third-party liability is included in the rate. For damage to the car, you choose one of three options before pickup. The deposit is released after the return, once the car is checked. We check your licence and identity before we confirm, the same way for every renter.

From request to keys

Pick the car and the dates that suit you, then send a request. There is no payment at that point. Next comes our offer, with the confirmed car and every charge on one page. You pay when you approve, and only then.

Each car page lists what is included and what costs extra. From 7 days, the weekly rate takes over. A request can be for today, as long as the pickup is at least 2 hours away.

Still deciding?

If something here is unclear, ask in your request; we reply in plain words.
