Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class car rental with open-air polish
Drive a CLK-Class
Mercedes-Benz built the CLK-Class from 1997 to 2009, and you can still book one on Turo from a local vehicle owner. A Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class car rental puts a modern classic in your hands — two doors, a three-pointed star, and plenty of 2000s swagger. If you're browsing for a Mercedes-Benz rental, the CLK-Class adds a dose of nostalgia to the mix.
Pick the coupe or the cabriolet — both send power to the rear wheels and seat four. Choose your dates, check the year and trim on the listing, and book through the Turo app. Then set up a pickup with the local vehicle owner that fits your plans.

Smooth, eager V6 and V8 power
Every 2009 CLK-Class pairs a seven-speed automatic with rear-wheel drive. The CLK350's 3.5L V6 makes 268 hp and 258 lb-ft — plenty for confident freeway merges. Opt for the CLK550's 5.5L V8, and you get 382 hp and a 0–60 mph run in 5.1 seconds.
A pillarless coupe profile
The CLK-Class coupe skips the B-pillar, the post that usually sits between the front and rear side windows. Lower all four windows, and the whole side of the car opens into one clean, uninterrupted line. It's the closest you'll get to a convertible breeze with a fixed roof overhead.
That open profile pairs with a long hood and a short rear deck for a low, stretched-out stance. Roll the windows down on a warm evening, rest an elbow on the sill, and let the air pour through the cabin. If you want the look without a soft top, the coupe is your pick.
A soft top at the push of a button
The CLK-Class cabriolet's soft top opens with the key fob or at speeds up to 5 mph. That means you can drop the top from the curb before you even slide in — or while you creep out of a parking garage. Sunshine on demand, no fumbling required.
Inside, the cabin seats four, so friends can come along for the open-air run. The rear seats run smaller than the front, which makes the back best for shorter hops. Check the listing to confirm you're booking the cabriolet rather than the coupe.
Stand out with a CLK-Class
A CLK-Class turns a weekend getaway, a coastal drive, or a special occasion into a taste of 2000s Mercedes-Benz luxury. Book the cabriolet if you're comparing convertible rentals on Turo, or choose the coupe for the same style under a fixed roof. The CLK350 returns 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway, so you can plan gas stops for a longer road trip with confidence.
Top CLK-Class features
A 12-year Mercedes-Benz run
Three things set the CLK-Class apart: a 12-year Mercedes-Benz run, racing roots, and AMG muscle at the top of the range.
The CLK-Class ran from 1997 through 2009, spanning two generations and more than 460,000 sales. That's a long run for a two-door luxury car — more than a decade of coupes and cabriolets. The 2009 cars close out the second generation, the final chapter before a new coupe took over for 2010.
When you book a CLK-Class, you're driving a slice of Mercedes-Benz history. If you love cars with a story, add it to your shortlist alongside other exotic and luxury cars you can book on Turo. Check each listing's year, since details shift between generations.
Racing roots
The CLK-Class has a genuine motorsport connection. In 1997, a factory-backed GT race car borrowed the road car's headlights, taillights, and grille. The street car and the track machine shared a face.
That link gives the CLK-Class a dose of competition credibility to go with its luxury. It's a fun bit of trivia to drop at a weekend car meetup or on a long drive with a fellow car fan. And it adds a little extra meaning every time you walk up to the car and see that familiar front end staring back.
AMG muscle at the top of the range
At the top of the CLK-Class range, the CLK63 AMG packed a 6.2L V8 with 475 hp. The Black Series pushed output to 500 hp, and Mercedes-Benz sent only 350 of them to the US. Those numbers make the AMG cars the range's headline acts.
They also show how far the CLK-Class platform could stretch, which gives even the V6 cars real performance pedigree. The CLK350 and CLK550 share the same rear-wheel-drive layout and two-door shape. Check each listing for the exact trim before you book, so you know which engine you're getting.

Top tips and things to know before renting a CLK-Class
Get to know your CLK-Class
Confirm the body style, engine, and year before you book, and plan around rear-wheel drive and a smaller back seat.
Check each listing for coupe or cabriolet, V6 or V8, and model year — these are 2000s cars, so details vary. Send questions to the local vehicle owner through the Turo app before your trip. For other Mercedes-Benz options, compare a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon rental for SUV space or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter rental for group trips.
CLK-Class driving tips
The CLK-Class drives best when you plan for its rear-wheel drive, cozy back seat, and soft top.
Ease into the throttle on wet roads, since rear-wheel drive needs a lighter touch in the rain.
Pack light, because the rear seats run smaller than the front.
Lower the cabriolet top only when you're stopped or moving at 5 mph or less.
Plan gas stops around 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway for the CLK350.
How much does it cost to rent a CLK-Class?
CLK-Class prices vary by location, trip dates, and the car's year and trim, and local vehicle owners set their own rates. Check current listings near you for the latest prices. Some local vehicle owners offer discounts on longer trips, so a long-term car rental can lower your daily cost.

* 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.
