Turo alternative: 2023 Audi Q5 Technik in Simplot

Renting the 2023 Audi Q5 Technik

If a rental car is the plan, the 2023 Audi Q5 Technik is worth a look; here is why. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.

Simplot and the Q5

We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Simplot starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here. Simplot is about 2,985 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area.

Nearby places include Weitz, Enrose and Caldwell.

Specs, explained

The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid with all-wheel drive and a 7-speed automatic. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

By the EPA's combined rating of 9.3 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 28 litres. That works out to about $14.42 per 100 km at our price setting.

Who the Q5 suits

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

What to expect from the Q5

Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

In our fleet

This exact car is not in our fleet at the moment; a request asks us to look for one. Want a car for specific dates? Put them in the request and we check. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now.

Before you rent

An Ontario G2 or G licence and an age of 18 or more: that is where it starts. If you are under 26, expect a young driver fee each day; there is no upper age limit. The name on the card has to match the name on the licence.

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 about 1 hour before pickup, never when you book. Before confirming, we verify the licence and identity of each driver.

What to expect when you book

The process opens with a request from you, which costs nothing and binds you to nothing. A staff member reads the request and sends the offer. We reply within 2 hours. Your card is charged only when you approve the offer.

Compare cars side by side by opening their pages. Book by the week from 7 days, or by the month up to 365 days. Give us 2 hours or more before the pickup and we can usually make it work.

Ready when you are

When the dates are set, a request gets you a real price.
