Room for the whole crew, comfort for every mile
Drive a Carnival
The Carnival is a minivan wrapped in SUV-inspired styling, and it carries a full crew in comfort. Its maker calls it a "GrandUtility Vehicle," and that bold stance makes it a standout Kia rental for family travel.
On Turo, you book your Carnival from a local vehicle owner and choose pickup or delivery where the listing offers it. Turo is a car rental marketplace, so you pick the exact Carnival you want — trim, seats, and all.

Smooth V6 power for full-family road trips
The Carnival's 3.5L V6 delivers 287 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, a strong match for long highway days with every seat filled. Prefer a hybrid? Look for listings with the optional 1.6L turbo hybrid, rated at 242 hp.
Lounge-ready seating for seven or eight
The Carnival seats seven or eight, depending on trim, so you can bring the grandparents, the kids, and a friend or two. Three rows give everyone a real seat — and fewer squabbles over who's stuck in the middle. It's the kind of cabin that keeps a long drive calm.
Want to treat your passengers? The SX Prestige seats seven, and its VIP Lounge Seats are heated and ventilated. A one-touch relaxation mode lets riders settle in and stretch out, which turns hour four of a road trip into a genuine perk. Check the listing for the trim before you book so you know which seats you're getting.
Cargo space and towing for big trips
Behind the third row, the Carnival gives you 40.2 cu ft of cargo space. That's room for suitcases, strollers, and a cooler while every passenger keeps a seat. Need more? Maximum cargo space reaches 145.1 cu ft, enough for a serious haul of gear.
Planning to bring a trailer along? V6 Carnivals can tow up to 3,500 lbs, and hybrid models can tow up to 2,500 lbs. That capability makes the Carnival a smart pick for a lake weekend or a long summer stay. Confirm the powertrain in the listing so your plans match the minivan you book.
Stand out with a Carnival
The Carnival shines when you're moving a group and its gear. It's a natural pick for family vacations, group trips, airport runs with luggage, and summer travel, when everyone wants space to spread out. Browse minivan rentals on Turo and line up the Carnival that fits your crew.
Top Carnival features
Dual 12.3-in panoramic curved display
Three standouts set the Carnival apart: a dual 12.3-in panoramic curved display, Highway Driving Assist 2, and a wide range of trims and powertrains.
The Carnival's available dual 12.3-in panoramic curved display sets two widescreen panels side by side in one sweeping curve. It gives the dash a clean, modern look that makes the whole cabin feel current. You'll notice it the moment you slide into the driver's seat.
Because it's available rather than standard, the display depends on the trim. Want it for your trip? Scan the listing details and photos before you book, so you know exactly what's waiting behind the wheel. A quick look now saves a surprise at pickup.
Highway Driving Assist 2
Long interstate stretches are where the Carnival's available Highway Driving Assist 2 earns its keep. It's a driver-assistance system made for highway miles, which matters when you're hours into a family road trip. Think of it as a helpful copilot for the long, straight parts of the drive.
Like any assist system, it supports you — you're still the driver, so keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. Availability varies by trim, so check the listing if it's on your must-have list. That way, you'll know before you book.
Gas or hybrid, LX through SX Prestige
The Carnival comes in a wide spread of trims, so one Carnival on Turo can differ a lot from the next. Gas models come in LX, LXS, EX, SX, and SX Prestige trims. Hybrid models come in LXS, EX, SX, and SX Prestige trims.
That variety lets you match the minivan to the moment. Choose a simple LX for a weekend away, or save the SX Prestige for a milestone trip. Pick gas or hybrid, then compare listings until you find the Carnival that suits your plans and your crew.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Carnival
Get to know your Carnival
A little prep before you book makes your Carnival trip easier. Here's what to check, how to drive it, and what shapes the price.
Start with the listing, which shows the trim, the seat count, and whether the Carnival runs on gas or hybrid power. Those details decide who rides where and how you'll pack.
Still weighing your options? Compare it with a Honda Odyssey rental, a Toyota Sienna rental, or a Chrysler Pacifica rental to find the minivan that fits your crew.
Carnival driving tips
The Carnival is a big vehicle, so a few smart habits make every drive easier.
Use the sliding doors in tight spots, since they let passengers climb out without swinging a door into the next car.
Load the third row and cargo well thoughtfully, with heavy bags low and loose items secured.
Plan for its size in parking garages, and watch posted clearance signs on the way in.
How much does it cost to rent a Carnival?
Carnival prices on Turo vary by location, dates, trim, and vehicle. Each listing shows a daily price and a trip total, so you can compare options at a glance.
Use search filters to narrow your choices, and look for discounts on longer trips. Staying a month or more? Explore long-term car rental for monthly options.

* 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.
