Scion FR-S rental image

A lightweight sports coupe built for the driver

Drive a FR-S

The Scion FR-S is a 200 hp, rear-wheel-drive 2+2 coupe with a low-slung 2.0L boxer engine up front. It's light, balanced, and focused on the person behind the wheel, and Scion car rental on Turo lets you book one for your next drive.

On Turo, you book your FR-S from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. Where listed, you can choose a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic.

Balanced, rear-wheel-drive handling

The FR-S feels balanced because its engine sits up front and sends power to the rear wheels. That layout gives the car its name: Front-engine, Rear-wheel drive, Sport. It weighs just 2,758 lbs, and the low boxer engine keeps that weight close to the pavement. The result feels planted and responsive on a winding back road.

Rev-happy boxer engine

The FR-S runs on a 2.0L naturally aspirated flat-four that makes 200 hp at 7,000 rpm and 151 lb-ft of torque. There's no turbocharger here, so the engine saves its best for the top of the rev range. Wind it out, and it rewards you.

The boxer design lays the cylinders flat, which lets the engine sit low in the chassis. That low mounting point is a big part of the car's balanced feel. Hold a gear longer on a freeway on-ramp, and you'll feel the FR-S come alive near its 7,000 rpm peak.

Your choice of gearbox

FR-S rentals on Turo come with one of two six-speed transmissions. The six-speed manual gives you full control of every shift, with a clutch and shifter that keep you involved in every gear change.

Prefer two pedals? The six-speed automatic adds paddle shifters, so you can still pick your own gears when the road opens up. It's rated at 25 mpg city, 34 mpg highway, and 28 mpg combined. Each listing shows which transmission the car has, so check the details before you book.

Stand out with a FR-S

An FR-S turns an ordinary weekend into a driving weekend. Book one for a scenic drive, a test of whether you'd want to own one, or a nostalgic nod to 2010s enthusiast cars. When you want to compare it with other options, browse sports car rental on Turo.

Scion's sports car swan song

Three things define the FR-S: its place in Scion history, its compact, low-slung design, and more practicality than you might expect.

The FR-S arrived for the 2013 model year as Scion's rear-wheel-drive sports coupe. It was developed alongside a partner brand's sports car, and its name spells out the mission: Front-engine, Rear-wheel drive, Sport.

Scion was a youth-focused brand known for affordable, customizable cars. Its parent company retired the brand in 2016, after about 13 years, which makes the 2016 FR-S the final model year. Rent a 2016 car, and you're driving the last chapter of the FR-S story — a modern classic from a retired brand.

Compact, low-slung design

The FR-S measures 166.7 inches long and stands just 50.6 inches tall, so it sits low and tight to the road. Its low, compact shape follows the same idea as the engine layout: keep the mass low and put the driver close to the action.

At under 14 feet long, the coupe has a compact footprint you'll appreciate when you're hunting for a city parking space. Cars came with a 13.2-gallon fuel tank, so check the gauge at pickup and plan your gas station stops around the route.

Practical for a sports car

Yes, you can daily drive an FR-S. It seats four, offers 6.9 cubic feet of cargo space, and the automatic is rated at 28 mpg combined. That mix works for commuting, errands, and a weekend getaway for two.

The rear seats suit short trips or extra bags, so think of them as bonus space rather than full-size seating. Pack soft bags, keep your load light, and the FR-S fits into everyday life while still delivering the drive you booked it for.

Top tips and things to know before renting a FR-S

Get to know your FR-S

A little prep helps you get the most from an FR-S, from picking the right listing to planning your budget.

Check the listing's model year and transmission before you book, since FR-S rentals on Turo can span model years 2013–2016. Each listing shows the details for that specific car, including whether it has the manual or the automatic. To see what's available, start with Scion rentals in Los Angeles, Scion rentals in San Francisco, or Scion cars in Chicago.

FR-S driving tips

Four habits help you enjoy every mile in an FR-S:

Pack light, since the trunk holds 6.9 cubic feet of cargo.

Take steep driveways and speed bumps slowly, since ground clearance is just 4.9 inches.

Follow the fuel policy on the listing before you return the car.

Get comfortable with the clutch and shifter before you head out if you book a manual.

How much does it cost to rent a FR-S?

The cost to rent an FR-S depends on the model year, trip length, Extras, and delivery. Each listing shows its price, so you can compare cars before you book.

Book four or more days ahead to get 10% off a non-refundable trip. Duration discounts apply at three days, one week, and one month. For a long-term car rental of 30 days or more, Turo doesn't add a trip fee (except in parts of Los Angeles and New York).

  1. * 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.

  2. 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.
