Chevrolet Spark car rental for big-city ease
Drive a Spark
The Chevrolet Spark is Chevrolet's smallest, simplest city car — a subcompact hatchback that seats four. Its US run spanned 2013–2022, and it still makes quick work of crowded streets. Find one through Chevrolet rental on Turo and keep your trip light and nimble.
On Turo, you book the exact Spark you want from a local vehicle owner. You'll arrange pickup or delivery to fit your plans, so your Chevrolet Spark car rental starts where you need it.

Effortless efficiency for everyday miles
The Spark stretches every gallon, earning 30 mpg city, 38 mpg highway, and 33 mpg combined with the CVT. Its nine-gallon tank covers up to 342 highway miles between fill-ups (fewer stops, more sightseeing). It runs on regular unleaded, so any gas station along your route will do.
Smartphone-ready tech on a seven-inch touchscreen
Your phone connects right to the Spark's dashboard. Since the 2016 redesign, a seven-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto has come standard. Your maps, playlists, and messages show up on the screen, so directions stay in view while you explore an unfamiliar city.
A rearview camera comes standard too, which helps when you're backing out of a tight driveway or a packed parking garage. The 2019 refresh updated the Spark's styling and touchscreen system, so later model years give you a fresher cabin and a sharper look. Either way, you get the essentials you reach for most on a trip — navigation, music, and a clear view behind you.
Compact footprint for tight streets and small spaces
The Spark measures just 143.1 inches long, so it slips into parking spots that larger cars have to pass up. Its 33.8-foot turning circle makes U-turns and three-point turns quick work on narrow streets. You'll spend less time circling the block and more time where you meant to go.
It's front-wheel drive, a setup most drivers already know, which keeps city driving simple. Stop-and-go traffic, cramped neighborhood blocks, and tight parking garages all feel more manageable in a car this small. When street parking gets scarce, the Spark gives you options a bigger car can't.
Stand out with a Spark
The Spark suits solo travelers and couples on city trips, daily commutes, and quick errands. Before Chevrolet discontinued it, the Spark was the least expensive new car in America. That budget-minded appeal stands out on a car rental marketplace packed with bigger options — spend less on the car and more on the trip.
Top Spark features
Final-generation heritage
Three things set the Spark apart: its final-generation heritage, a choice of transmission, and flexible cargo space.
You can still drive a Spark today, and renting one is among the easiest ways to do it. Chevrolet sold the Spark in the US during a 2013–2022 run, then ended US production after the 2022 model year without a direct replacement.
The 2016 redesign brought a new chassis and a 1.4L engine, and a 2019 refresh updated the styling. The final cars rolled off the line in Changwon, South Korea, in August 2022. With no new Sparks coming, a rental puts you behind the wheel of Chevrolet's smallest car — no long-term commitment required.
Choice of transmission
The Spark came with either a CVT or a five-speed manual, so you can match the car to how you like to drive. Both pair with a 1.4L four-cylinder engine that makes 98 hp and 94 lb-ft of torque.
The CVT keeps things easy in traffic, with no shifting to think about. The manual puts you in charge of every gear, which plenty of drivers enjoy on open roads and winding routes. Transmission depends on the listing, so check the details before you book if you have a preference.
Flexible cargo space
The Spark seats four and carries more than its size suggests. You get 11.1 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, which suits a light packing list. Fold the standard rear seat and that space grows to 27.2 cubic feet for bulkier gear.
That flexibility lets you switch between carrying passengers and hauling more stuff as your plans change. Pick up friends in the morning, then fold the seat for a shopping run in the afternoon. For a car that fits into the tightest parking spots, it's a surprisingly practical setup for travelers who like to keep their options open.

It was a great little car for a day of driving around LA. The host was incredibly easy to work with, and I definitely would rent again.
Thank you so much! Great car, would rent again! Very kind also and great experience all around
One of the best experiences I’ve ever had with a host—hands down. From the moment I booked the trip to the time I returned the car, everything was smooth, professional, and hassle-free. The host was incredibly communicative, quick to respond to any questions, and went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience. The car was spotless, reliable, and exactly as described in the listing. Pick-up and drop-off were seamless, and it genuinely felt like the host cared about making sure I was comfortable and satisfied. I would absolutely rent from them again without hesitation. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable car and an outstanding host.
The car was perfect for what was needed. Great Host. I would rent it again

Miguel’s Chevrolet Spark was phenomenal! Amazing drive! The tank was half-full though when we received it. The passenger rear tire had a broken valve. We got it replaced. Tires may need a wheel alignment! Other than that, it was a smooth ride! Miguel was kind and very responsive! Would definitely book again!

Top tips and things to know before renting a Spark
Get to know your Spark
A little prep helps you get the most from a Spark. Here's what to check, how to drive it, and what it costs.

Spark driving tips
Drive the Spark like the city car it is, and plan around its size and power.
Pack light, since you'll have 11.1 cubic feet behind the rear seats.
Fold the rear seat when you need up to 27.2 cubic feet of space.
Leave extra room for highway merges, since you're working with 98 hp.
Use the Spark's small size to grab tight city parking spots.
Refuel with regular unleaded and return the car at the same fuel level.

* 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.
