For members using a vehicle from our Montreal location, there is a maximum usage period per vehicle of 3 months. After this time, members may choose to either rent another vehicle or conclude their participation in the Porsche Drive program.

Please note that members may be required to exchange vehicles if the current vehicle needs to be retired, requires maintenance, or for any other reason in Porsche’s sole discretion, at which point a concierge will reach out to you directly.

How do I request a vehicle?

If you have been approved to participate in the Porsche Drive program, you will receive a confirmation email. At this point, you may visit the Porsche Drive web application to request a vehicle. The vehicle request includes your vehicle of interest, preferred time and date of delivery, and delivery location. Once your request is received, a Porsche Drive concierge will contact you to confirm your booking and outline the next steps. You may also contact us via phone, text, or email to request a vehicle.

When is payment due?

The monthly or daily fee will be charged when delivery of the vehicle has been confirmed. For the Monthly program, subsequent payments will be charged on the same day each month. Any additional charges, such as fuel, will be charged when the vehicle is returned.

How do I cancel the Monthly program?

A minimum 30-day notice period is required to end your monthly rental period. Please notify us by phone, email, or text to confirm return details.

Is there a fee to cancel Daily bookings?

Yes, there is a cancellation fee of $750, plus applicable taxes, when a vehicle reservation is not cancelled with at least 72 hours prior written notice (except in Quebec).

Is fuel included in the program fee?

Fuel usage is not included in the program fee. However, all Porsche Drive vehicles are delivered with a full tank of fuel. If the vehicle is exchanged or returned with less than a full tank, a Porsche Drive concierge will refill the vehicle and charge this amount to your account.

Do electric vehicles need to be returned fully charged?

All battery electric Porsche Drive vehicles are delivered at full charge. At vehicle exchange or return the vehicle must have a minimum of 25% charge remaining. There is no additional fee for vehicle charging at the end of your term.

Are others permitted to drive the vehicle?

For members of the Monthly program one secondary driver may be added to the account, if that person is approved by Porsche Drive as eligible. The secondary driver must also meet the driver’s requirements.

For Daily users, no secondary drivers are permitted.

What is the driver responsible for with the vehicle?

We expect our members to take care of Porsche Drive vehicles as if they are their own. Drivers are responsible for any loss of the Vehicle and/or any damage to the Vehicle beyond normal wear and tear. Drivers are also responsible for returning the vehicle to us in good working order and ready for use by another driver. We ask that members please drive responsibly, keep the vehicle clean, and let us know of any damage.

Is insurance coverage included?

Insurance coverage on the vehicle is limited to the applicable provincial or territorial minimum insurance requirements. The automobile insurance policy contains exclusions, conditions, and limitations. You are responsible for any accident, loss or damage that is caused by you (or an approved secondary driver) during the applicable program period. It is within Porsche’s sole discretion to determine whether a claim for any such loss or damage will be submitted for insurance coverage.

Where can I find the insurance card?

A copy of the insurance card can be found in the vehicle glovebox.

Am I responsible for damages?

Yes, in the event of any accident, loss, or damage, you will be charged $5,000. If damages are less than $5,000 you will be refunded the difference.

Can I drive the vehicle to the United States of America?

Can I drive the vehicle to leave my home province?

Are pets allowed in vehicles?
