A three-row SUV built for the whole crew
Drive a Pilot
A Honda Pilot SUV rental gives you room for up to eight people, which makes it a natural pick for family road trips. Three rows, a strong V6, and a calm highway ride keep everyone comfortable on long drives.
The Pilot pairs a 285 hp V6 with a 10-speed automatic, so merging and passing feel easy even with every seat full. It seats up to eight, so the whole group rides together — and if you're open to other models, browse every Honda rental on Turo.
On Turo, you book the exact Pilot you see on the listing from a local vehicle owner — no "or similar" swaps. You choose the pickup or delivery options that fit your plans, then start your trip.

Fuel economy

Weight

Room for eight, without the squeeze
The Pilot seats up to eight across three rows and still leaves space for luggage. Second-row passengers get 40.8 inches of legroom, and the 18.6 cu ft behind the third row fits about four carry-on bags. Fold both rear rows and cargo space grows to 87 cu ft.
Smooth V6 power
The Pilot runs on a 3.5-liter V6 that makes 285 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. A 10-speed automatic keeps shifts smooth, so the SUV feels composed whether you're crawling through town or cruising the interstate. Even with a full cabin and a packed cargo area, you've got plenty of muscle for on-ramps and long grades.
Front-wheel-drive models earn 19 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined. All-wheel-drive versions come in at 21 mpg combined. That's respectable efficiency for a three-row SUV hauling the whole crew — and it means fewer gas station stops between you and your destination.
Flexible second row
The Pilot's second-row middle seat is removable and stowable, so you can switch between seven and eight seats as your plans change. Leave it in and fold it down, and it becomes an armrest with cup holders for the two outboard passengers. It's a clever trick borrowed from the brand's minivan.
Keep all eight seats for a full carload of cousins. Or pull the middle seat to open a path to the third row — handy when kids climb in and out. Some Pilots also come with a seven-seat captain's-chair setup, so check the listing to see which layout you're booking.
Stand out with a Pilot
The Pilot shines when you're moving a group and all their gear. Pick one for family vacations, group trips, airport runs with luggage for everyone, or a long weekend visiting relatives. Want to compare sizes first? Browse more SUV rentals on Turo before you book.
Top Pilot features
Refreshed 2026 look and quieter ride
A refreshed 2026 look, standard comfort and tech, and American assembly round out the Pilot's appeal.
The 2026 Pilot arrives with a refreshed face and a calmer cabin. A new grille gives the front end a cleaner, more confident look. Your SUV looks current at the airport curb or in a relative's driveway.
The 2026 update also quiets the ride. With less road noise, you can hear the third row, catch every word of your podcast, or let a toddler nap on the highway. On a long drive, that hush adds up — you'll step out feeling fresher after hours behind the wheel.
Standard comfort and tech
The 2026 Pilot comes standard with heated front seats, a power driver's seat, adaptive cruise control, a power liftgate, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. The refresh added even more standard tech, so you get a well-equipped cabin without hunting for a top trim.
Those details matter on a trip. Heated seats take the edge off a cold morning, and the power liftgate helps when your arms are full of bags. The Wi-Fi hotspot keeps passengers connected on long drives. Equipment varies by year and trim, so check the listing for the exact features on the Pilot you book.
Built in America with V6 heritage
The Pilot goes through final assembly in the United States, so you're driving an SUV built close to home. It makes a fitting partner for a classic American road trip — interstate miles, roadside diners, and national park views out every window.
The Pilot also keeps its V6 heritage while other brands move to turbocharged four-cylinder engines. That means a familiar, linear feel when you press the gas. If you like the smooth pull of a traditional six-cylinder SUV, the Pilot delivers exactly that.

Car drives well! It’s an older car for sure but has definitely been well taken care of! That said we had a couple minor issues that Jose addressed promptly and reasonably. Overall a very positive experience and would rent a car from Jose again!
Amazing car of great condition ! The owner is super nice and I'd definitely like to rent again when I need a bigger vehicle.
Great host! Had an easy pick up and drop off. And host was very responsive before, during, and after the trip. Car was great and would be good for a big group if needed. I had an unfortunate occurrence while driving as a rock hit and cracked the windshield. Host was understanding and currently working with him to resolve.
The car is always in good condition and I really appreciate it! Thank you so much Jose!
Just wish I had more room but I am 6,4 so it's one really good car. Would definitely rent this car again 😁.
Pick up/drop off was easy, car was very clean and worked great. Jose was easy to communicate with.
We do family trips every year and this was our 2nd time renting a car through here. The process was so smooth from searching the right car and getting it deliver to us and getting it picked up. José was amazing in making sure we had the car on time. We had no problems and everything we took for our trip fit exactly how we wanted. Definitely recommend!
The car was perfectly clean upon pickup and safe to drive throughout the whole trip. It was also easy to pickup and drop off the car from the owner’s location.
Wonderful trip. The car so clean and easy to drive. Also Jose is amazing. Always there to help and flexible. Definitely we will book again
Top tips and things to know before renting a Pilot
Get to know your Pilot
Check the seat layout, pack to the cargo space, and book early to save. Here's what to know before you go.
Check the listing for the seat configuration before you book. Some Pilots seat eight, while others have second-row captain's chairs and seat seven. Think about cargo, too — with every seat filled, luggage space gets tighter. If you want sliding doors for even easier access, consider a Honda Odyssey rental instead.
Pilot driving tips
Plan your luggage around 18.6 cu ft with all three rows up. Fold the third row and you'll get 48.5 cu ft for bigger bags. Use adaptive cruise control on long highway stretches to ease the drive. At about 200 inches long, the Pilot needs room when you park — give yourself extra space in tight lots.
How much does it cost to rent a Pilot?
Pilot prices depend on location, dates, trim, and trip length, so check listings near you for current rates. Book four or more days ahead and you can choose a 10% non-refundable discount. Some vehicles also offer three-day, weekly, or monthly discounts, and you can explore long-term car rental for longer 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.
