A sport sedan with quiet confidence
Drive a TL
An Acura TL car rental puts a V6 sport sedan with a well-appointed cabin in your hands. The 2014 model year was the TL's last, and Car and Driver called it "surprisingly enjoyable to drive." Browse every Acura rental on Turo to find yours.
On Turo, you book your TL from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. Pick your dates, compare listings, and claim the keys.

Smooth, responsive V6 power
The TL gives you a choice of two V6 engines, and both deliver smooth, responsive power. Front-wheel-drive (FWD) models use a 3.5L V6 with 280 hp and 254 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic.
SH-AWD models step up to a 3.7L V6 with 305 hp and 273 lb-ft. MotorTrend clocked a 2012 TL SH-AWD — the same generation — at 0–60 mph in 5.3 seconds.
SH-AWD sharpens every corner
SH-AWD helps the TL corner with confidence by shifting power front-to-rear and between the rear wheels. That torque vectoring is a big part of the sharp handling MotorTrend praised. Turn into a tight on-ramp and you'll feel the car hold its line with composure.
Want more involvement behind the wheel? Some SH-AWD cars have the available six-speed manual, and Car and Driver called that combination "quite engaging." Others use the six-speed automatic, which keeps stop-and-go traffic relaxed. Both setups send 305 hp through the same clever all-wheel-drive system, so you get the handling benefits either way.
Check the listing to see which transmission your TL has before you book. That way, you'll know whether you're signing up for three pedals or two.
A well-appointed cabin that works for you
The TL's cabin covers the comforts you'll reach for most. Keyless ignition lets you start the car with a button press, and a power moonroof lets in light and fresh air on mild days. The tilt/telescopic steering wheel adjusts to fit you, with audio and cruise controls right at your thumbs.
Sound is a strong suit, too. Edmunds lists a 440-watt, 10-speaker audio system on the base FWD model. MotorTrend also notes a USB/iPod interface and a high-res center display for managing your music.
Queue up a playlist before you pull away from the curb (or a podcast for the commute). Every drive feels a little more yours.
Stand out with a TL
The TL is an understated sport-luxury sedan that suits almost any plan. It looks polished at a client meeting, feels special on date night, and stays fun on a weekend drive.
With seats for five, you can bring friends or colleagues along for the ride. Planning a West Coast trip? Browse Acura rentals in Los Angeles and find a TL near your route.
Top TL features
Technology and Advance package upgrades
Many TLs carry factory packages that add useful upgrades, though equipment varies by vehicle. The Technology package adds navigation, so you can follow directions on the built-in screen. The Advance package goes further with ventilated front seats and blind spot monitoring.
Ventilated seats earn their keep on hot afternoons. Blind spot monitoring adds an extra set of eyes during lane changes on busy freeways.
Some FWD cars wear the Special Edition package instead, with hands-free keyless entry, 18-inch 10-spoke wheels, and a rear spoiler. Since every TL is equipped a little differently, check the listing to confirm which package your car has. You'll know exactly what's waiting for you before you book.
Highway-friendly efficiency
The FWD TL returns up to 29 mpg on the highway, according to Edmunds. That makes long interstate stretches easier on your fuel budget. Around town, expect 20 mpg city and 23 mpg combined.
Edmunds lists premium fuel as recommended, so plan your gas station stops around it. It's a small detail that keeps your trip on track.
Pair that efficiency with a quiet, well-appointed cabin and you've got a sedan built for covering ground. Heading out for a weekend getaway a few hours away? The TL handles the miles, so you can save your energy for wherever you're headed.
Composed ride and solid build
The TL rides on a four-wheel independent suspension with a double-wishbone front setup. That design helps the car stay settled over rough pavement and steady through curves. It's a big reason the TL feels both comfortable and sharp.
The TL is Ohio-built, with final assembly in the US, according to Car and Driver and Edmunds. It's also a substantial midsize sedan, measuring 194 inches long, 74 inches wide, and 57.2 inches tall.
That length gives the TL a planted presence on the highway. It also means you'll want to pick parking spots with care in tight city garages. Take a moment to check clearance before you back in.

Top tips and things to know before renting a TL
Get to know your TL
Every TL on Turo is a little different, so the listing is your best guide. Packages vary by car — one TL may have navigation and ventilated seats, while another has Special Edition wheels and a spoiler. Read the feature list and photos before you book.

TL driving tips
Fill up with premium fuel, pack light, and confirm the transmission before you book. Edmunds lists premium fuel as recommended for the TL, so choose that grade at the pump.
The trunk holds 13.1 cubic feet, and MotorTrend calls trunk space a weak point. Soft bags and carry-on suitcases fit more easily than bulky hard-shell luggage.
Some SH-AWD cars have the available six-speed manual. If you want to shift for yourself (or would rather not), check the listing first.
How much does it cost to rent a TL?
The cost to rent a TL depends on the listing, since each local vehicle owner sets their own price. Rates vary by location, trip dates, and trip length.
You'll see the price on each listing before you book. Some listings offer discounts on longer trips, which can lower your daily rate.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
