Turo alternative: 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. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.

Freestone and the Q5

Freestone is about 3,665 km from our Toronto location, beyond the area we deliver to. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Freestone.

Close by are Occidental, Bodega and Valley Ford, each with its own page.

What the specs mean

It is powered by the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, with 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.

By the EPA's combined rating of 8.8 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 26 litres. It can cover about 644 km on electricity before switching to gas. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $40.92 at our price setting.

Living with the Q5

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length. It measures 4.68 m long by 1.89 m wide. It fits most condo and driveway spots.

A good match for

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Before pickup

Drivers need to be 18 or over, holding an Ontario G2 or G licence for the whole rental. If any driver is under 26, a young driver fee is added for each day. Cars marked "no credit card needed" accept a debit card in your name; the others need a credit card.

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. The deposit is released after the return, once the car is checked. We confirm each driver's licence and identity the same way.

The steps

You start by asking: a car, a start time, an end time. Asking is free. The reply is an offer you can read in full before you decide anything. You have 24 hours to approve an offer, and payment comes with your approval.

Every car lists its own deposit and the kilometres included each day. Book by the week from 7 days, or by the month up to 365 days. Leave at least 2 hours between your request and the pickup.

Your move

Questions, dates or both: put them in a request and we answer.
