A compact luxury SUV with room to roam
Drive an X1
A BMW X1 car rental puts a compact luxury SUV in your hands, with a 241-hp turbocharged four-cylinder and standard all-wheel drive. If you've been browsing BMW car rental options, the X1 packs premium polish into a size that suits city streets and weekend bags.
On Turo, you book the exact X1 you see from a local vehicle owner — no "or similar" surprises at pickup. Choose pickup or delivery where the listing offers it, then set off on your schedule.

Turbocharged power with all-wheel grip
The X1 pairs a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, good for 241 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Standard xDrive all-wheel drive comes on every X1, so all four wheels share the work. For extra punch, the X1 M35i turns the same-size engine up to 312 hp.
Efficiency for longer drives
The X1 xDrive28i is rated at 25 mpg city, 34 mpg highway, and 28 mpg combined. That highway number makes it a smart pick for road trips, airport runs, and long weekend loops. Its fuel tank holds about 14 gallons, so you can string together a few scenic stops before you refuel.
Plan on premium fuel — it's the recommended grade — and factor it into your trip budget. When the gauge dips, pull into any gas station and choose the premium pump. Let the miles roll, and save your stops for the views, the snacks, and the photo ops.
Cargo space that flexes
The X1 gives you 25.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row and 57.2 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. With all five seats filled, you still have room for weekend bags, a cooler, and a jacket or two.
Fold the rear seats and that space more than doubles — handy for camping gear, a stack of beach chairs, or an ambitious flea-market haul. That flexibility lets one SUV handle a group dinner on Friday and a solo furniture run on Sunday. Pack smart, load up, and keep the back seat free for the people riding with you.
Stand out with an X1
The X1 suits couples, small families, and anyone who wants luxury without the bulk of a full-size SUV. It's a sharp fit for city trips and weekend getaways, with five seats, all-wheel drive, and a cargo area that grows when you need it. If you're comparing compact luxury SUV rentals, the X1 gives you premium comfort in a size that's easy to park and easy to live with.
Top X1 features
Two trims, two personalities
Three things set the X1 apart: two distinct trims, a compact footprint with a premium feel, and a towing rating for weekend gear.
The X1 comes in two trims: the xDrive28i with 241 hp and the M35i with 312 hp. Both use a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder and all-wheel drive, so the choice comes down to how much punch you want.
The xDrive28i is the everyday all-rounder — it reaches 60 mph in 6.2 seconds and returns 28 mpg combined. The M35i adds 71 more horsepower for drivers who crave extra urgency on on-ramps and winding two-lane roads. Check the listing to see which trim you're booking, then pick the personality that matches your plans.
Compact footprint, premium feel
The X1 measures 177.2 inches long on a 106-inch wheelbase, so it fits city life without feeling cramped. Its 38.4-foot turning diameter helps you swing through U-turns, tight parking garages, and narrow neighborhood streets with less back-and-forth.
That compact size makes the X1 easy to park downtown, near the beach, or outside a busy restaurant on a Saturday night. You still get the BMW badge, a premium feel, and standard all-wheel drive. Grab the open curbside spot, tuck into the garage, and save your time for the trip itself.
Towing for weekend gear
The X1 is rated to tow up to 3,000 pounds, enough for a small trailer loaded with bikes, kayaks, or beach gear. That rating turns a compact SUV into a capable partner for lake weekends and camping trips at established campgrounds.
Before you plan around it, check the listing details to confirm the X1 you're booking is set up for towing. Equipment varies by vehicle, so a quick look now saves a scramble later. Once you're set, hitch up, pack the cooler, and keep the cabin free for passengers and snacks.

It was a wonderful experience overall. Unfortunately, the car battery died before we were able to finish using the vehicle. Thankfully, the host was extremely kind, responsive, and efficient. They replied very quickly and arranged for us to exchange the car for a different one at no extra charge. We really appreciated their excellent customer service and would gladly rent from them again.
Armen was really great. The car was an amazing and smooth drive, easy pick up and drop off. I will definitely rent with Armen again next time I’m in the town.

Top tips and things to know before renting a X1
Get to know your X1
Before you book, check the listing for the X1's year and trim, since the xDrive28i and M35i deliver different levels of power. The 2026 X1 is the third generation, and both trims pair a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder with all-wheel drive.

X1 driving tips
A few habits make your X1 trip smoother: fill up with premium fuel, ease into the throttle at low speeds, and know your distance limit. The dual-clutch automatic rewards smooth, steady inputs in stop-and-go traffic and parking garages.
Check the listing's distance limit before you set out, since trips over it add extra distance fees. If you're new to the X1, take a few practice laps around a quiet parking lot to learn its size.
How much does it cost to rent an X1?
Local vehicle owners set the daily price for each BMW X1 car rental on Turo, and it varies by year, trip length, location, and extras. You'll see all mandatory fees upfront, so you know your total before you book.
Book four or more days ahead to get a 10% early booking discount. Trips of 30 days or longer skip the trip fee, with limited exceptions in parts of Los Angeles and New York. That makes a long-term car rental worth a look for extended stays.

* 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.
