Cadillac ELR car rental: a rare plug-in luxury coupe
Drive an ELR
A Cadillac ELR car rental puts you in a plug-in luxury coupe that drives on electricity first. When the battery runs low, a gas engine-generator takes over, so you get about 39 miles of electric range and 330 miles total. It's a rare find in Cadillac car rental, since Cadillac built it only for the 2014 and 2016 model years.
On Turo, you book the exact ELR you want, down to the model year, from a local vehicle owner. Pick your dates, then arrange a pickup or delivery that fits your plans.

Instant, quiet electric torque
The ELR's best trick is torque: 373 lb-ft, ready the moment you press the pedal. In Sport mode, the gas engine and electric motor work together for a 0-60 mph run of 6.4 seconds. Even in EV mode, you'll hit 60 in 8.8 seconds — with barely a whisper from under the hood.
Range without range anxiety
The ELR handles daily driving on electricity and keeps going on gas when you need more. Its 17.1 kWh lithium-ion battery delivers about 39 miles of electric range, enough for plenty of commutes and errand loops. Once the battery runs low, a 1.4L four-cylinder engine-generator steps in, and you never have to hunt for a plug mid-trip.
Combined, you get about 330 miles of total range and 32 combined mpg in gas mode. Plug into a 240-volt charger and you're back to full in about five hours. A standard 120-volt outlet works too (just slower), which helps if your stay doesn't come with a dedicated charger.
Sharpened chassis and drive modes
The 2016 ELR drives tighter than the original, thanks to a round of chassis updates. Cadillac added stiffer springs, retuned the adaptive suspension, recalibrated the steering, and upgraded the brakes. You'll notice it in sharper turn-in and more confident stops on winding roads.
Four drive modes let you match the car to your day. Tour keeps everyday driving smooth and relaxed, while Sport combines the engine and motor for quicker response. Mountain builds a charge reserve for steep grades, and Hold saves your battery for later in the trip.
Stand out with an ELR
The ELR is a rare two-door luxury plug-in coupe, and you won't spot many on the road. Book one for a date night, a city weekend, or a low-emission commute that feels far from routine. If you're browsing electric vehicle rental options, the ELR pairs Cadillac design with a gas backup for longer drives.
Top ELR features
Converj concept design
Beyond the powertrain, these three details make the ELR worth booking.
The ELR is the production version of the Cadillac Converj concept car, so you're driving a concept that made it to the street. GM built it at its Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly plant.
The layout is pure personal luxury coupe: two doors and four seats. The front seats are where you'll want to be, with a passenger beside you. The rear works for occasional riders on shorter hops, so the ELR suits couples and solo drivers more than full carloads. Browse the photos on each listing to see the interior and finish of the ELR you're considering.
A short, collectible production run
Cadillac sold the ELR for just two model years, 2014 and 2016, and skipped 2015 entirely. That short run makes it a rare sight on the road today, and that rarity is a big part of its appeal.
For you, it means a rental with a story behind it. Pull up in an ELR and you're driving something most people have never seen in person. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to own one, a trip on Turo lets you test the ELR in real life first. Try it on your commute, your errands, and a weekend drive, and you'll know quickly whether it fits your routine.
Performance Package and Regen on Demand
ELRs with the Performance Package roll on 20-inch summer tires with Brembo front brake calipers. The package also brings a retuned chassis and a top speed calibrated to 130 mph, up from 106 mph standard. Check the listing details to see whether the ELR you want has it.
Every ELR gets Regen on Demand, a set of paddles on the steering wheel. Pull one and the car slows down while sending energy back to the battery. It's a satisfying way to control your speed in stop-and-go traffic or on long downhill stretches, and it helps you stretch your electric miles further.

Top tips and things to know before renting a ELR
Get to know your ELR
Know your model year, plan your charging, and check the price breakdown before you book. Here's what to look for.
The model year matters more than you might expect. The 2016 ELR makes 233 hp and 373 lb-ft of torque, compared with 217 hp and 295 lb-ft in the 2014. It's also 1.5 seconds quicker to 60 mph, and its battery grew to 17.1 kWh from 16.5 kWh.
Check the year on each listing so you know which version you're booking. Need more room than four seats? The Cadillac Escalade gives you a roomier Cadillac SUV. You can also browse Cadillac rentals in Los Angeles and Cadillac rentals in Miami to see what's available in those cities.
ELR driving tips
Plan your charging and pick the right drive mode, and the ELR rewards you with more electric miles. Keep these tips in mind:
Confirm the charge level and charging cable with the local vehicle owner before pickup.
Plug in at a 240-volt charger for a full charge in about five hours, or use a 120-volt outlet.
Switch to Hold mode on the highway to save battery for city driving.
Choose Mountain mode before steep grades so the car builds a charge reserve.
Pack light, since the ELR seats four and the rear seats are tight.
How much does it cost to rent an ELR?
The price of an ELR rental depends on the model year, trip length, extras, and delivery. Each listing shows the daily price and trip total before you book, so you can compare ELRs at a glance.
Planning a longer stay? Turo lets you book for days, weeks, or months. Explore long-term car rental options if you want an ELR for a month or more.
