Compact luxury with quattro confidence
Drive a Q3
The Q3 is a compact luxury SUV with standard quattro all-wheel drive and a turbocharged four-cylinder up front. It's small enough for tight city parking and composed enough for long highway miles. If you're weighing your Audi car rental options, the Q3 pairs premium comfort with a size that's easy to live with.
Book an Audi Q3 car rental on Turo, and you'll coordinate pickup with a local vehicle owner. Pick dates that suit your plans, whether that's a weekend, a week, or longer. You get the exact Q3 you book, not an "or similar," so the car in the listing is the car you drive.

Turbocharged power with quattro grip
The Q3 runs a 2.0L TFSI turbo four-cylinder that makes 255 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. A seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission handles the shifts, and standard quattro all-wheel drive keeps you planted when rain or snow rolls in.
Tech-forward cabin
Slide in, and a 12.8-inch MMI touch display takes center stage. Behind the wheel, an 11.9-inch digital driver display sits right in your line of sight. The system runs Android Automotive OS, so you can add apps from a built-in app store without reaching for your phone.
An AI voice assistant lets you talk to the car instead of tapping through menus. Prefer your own setup? Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect your phone without a cable, so your maps, music, and podcasts come along for every mile.
Flexible cargo space
The Q3 seats five, and its cargo area flexes with your plans. Slide the rear seat forward, and you'll get up to 29 cu ft of space behind it (handy when bags matter more than legroom). Fold the seats down, and that space opens to about 50 cu ft.
That flexibility pays off on travel days. Load checked bags and carry-ons for an airport run, or fold the seats to fit ski bags for a mountain weekend. Either way, you can pick the setup each morning based on who's riding and what's coming along.
Stand out with a Q3
The Q3 gives you a premium feel without the bulk of a full-size SUV. It suits couples, small families, city trips, and mountain weekends, with real room for luggage and a footprint that's easy to park. Browse SUV rentals on Turo, and the Q3 stands out as a polished, right-sized choice.
Top Q3 features
Sharp new design
Three standouts define the Q3: a sharp new design, everyday driver assistance, and a compact footprint.
The third-generation Q3 arrived all-new for the 2026 model year, and it looks sharper from every angle. Up front, split LED headlights stack thin light strips above the main units. A taller, wider Singleframe grille with an octagonal pattern and illuminated rings anchors the face.
Around back, a full-width light bar stretches across the rear with split taillights. Crisp shoulder and wheel-arch lines, standard S line styling, and 18–20-inch wheels give the Q3 a confident stance, even parked at the curb. It's a design that turns a quick errand into a small occasion.
Everyday driver assistance
Adaptive cruise assist comes standard on the Q3, helping manage your speed and following distance on long highway stretches. Some cars add a surround-view camera and parking sensors, which help you ease into a tight garage spot or parallel park on a busy street.
Features vary by car, so check the listing before you book. Each listing shows what that specific Q3 includes, so you'll know exactly which tech is waiting for you at pickup. If a surround-view camera matters to you, book a Q3 that lists one.
Compact footprint
The Q3's compact size makes city driving easier. Narrow streets, crowded curbs, and tight parking garages feel more manageable in an SUV this size, and parallel parking takes less guesswork. You still get luxury SUV comfort, just in a smaller package that's easy to place on busy streets.
Need a little extra capability? When properly equipped, the Q3 can tow up to 1,500 lbs. Towing gear varies by car, so check the listing first if a small trailer is part of your plans. For most trips, though, the Q3's real strength is how easily it slips through town.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Q3
Get to know your Q3
A few quick checks before your trip help you land the right Q3 and enjoy it from the first mile.
Check the year and trim on the listing before you book. Q3s from the 2026 model year onward are the new generation, while older listings may show the earlier design. To find a Q3 near you, start with Audi rentals in Los Angeles, Audi rentals in New York, or Audi rentals in Miami.
Q3 driving tips
Three quick habits make your first miles in the Q3 easier.
Sync your phone before you leave, since CarPlay and Android Auto connect wirelessly.
Pack smart, and slide the rear seat forward when you need more cargo room.
Take a moment in the lot to learn the dual-clutch's low-speed feel and try the drive modes.
How much does it cost to rent a Q3?
The cost to rent a Q3 depends on the listing, since each local vehicle owner sets the daily price. It varies by model year, trip length, location, and extras, and every price shows mandatory fees upfront.
Planning a week? Q3 listings may include trip-length discounts for three-day, weekly, or monthly trips. You'll also save 10% on non-refundable trips booked four or more days ahead.
Staying longer? A long-term car rental of 30 days or more skips the trip fee, with limited exceptions in parts of Los Angeles and New York.

* 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.
