Drive a Defender 90
The Defender 90 is the two-door, short-wheelbase Defender, while the Defender 110 adds two doors and a longer body. Its boxy, upright silhouette traces back to 1948, and it's the most compact way into a Land Rover rental. One glance and you know exactly what it is.
On Turo, you book the exact Defender 90 you see in the listing from a local vehicle owner. You'll know the year and trim before you reserve, then choose pickup or delivery based on what the listing offers. Set your dates for a few days, a few weeks, or longer — the schedule is yours.

Turbocharged inline-six power
Every 2027 Defender 90 runs a 3.0L turbocharged inline-six mild hybrid, with the four-cylinder and V8 dropped for this model year. The Vertex trim makes 395 hp and 406 lb-ft and runs 0–60 mph in 5.7 sec, while the S makes 296 hp. An eight-speed automatic and permanent four-wheel drive put that power down with confidence on highways and city streets alike.
Compact two-door footprint
The Defender 90's two-door, short-wheelbase body makes it easier to park and maneuver than its longer four-door sibling. Narrow city streets, compact parking spots, and busy parking garages all feel more manageable with less SUV to place. Parallel parking downtown gets a lot less stressful.
Inside, the Defender 90 seats five, so a couple or a small group can travel together. Fold the rear seats for up to 58.3 cu ft of cargo space — plenty for suitcases, golf bags, or a weekend's gear. Pack the bulky items first, then fit the soft bags around them.
Pivi Pro tech up front
The Defender 90 puts its tech front and center with a 13.1-inch Pivi Pro touchscreen. It's the hub of the cabin, and the large screen keeps information easy to read at a glance. Take a minute to learn the layout before you pull away, so you're not hunting through menus in traffic.
Look for the available 3D Surround Camera, too. It gives you a clearer view around the Defender 90 when you're parking, backing out, or squeezing through tight spaces. Equipment varies by listing, so check the details to see whether your Defender 90 includes it — it's worth having in a crowded parking garage.
Stand out with a Defender 90
The Defender 90 fits any trip that calls for a compact SUV with serious presence. It shines on weekend getaways for couples or small groups, city trips with standout presence, and test drives before you buy. If you're still weighing options, compare more luxury SUV rentals on Turo.
Top Defender 90 features
Top Defender 90 features
The Defender 90's top features are its 1948 lineage, its unmistakable design, and its towing capability for bigger plans.
A 1948 lineage
The Defender 90 carries a lineage that traces back to 1948. The Defender line ran nonstop until 2016, then returned in 2020 in two sizes: the 90 and the 110.
That return kept the boxy shape and upright stance people recognize, then added modern tech and the inline-six power you'll find in the 2027 model. When you book a Defender 90, you're driving the latest chapter of a story that's more than 75 years in the making. It's a rental with real history behind the badge — and an easy conversation starter for everyone riding along.
Unmistakable design
The Defender 90 looks like nothing else on the road, thanks to its squared-off profile and upright stance. The short body makes those proportions even bolder, so the shape reads as a Defender from a block away.
Big windows give you an open view out, so it's easier to watch traffic, spot parking, and take in the city. Inside, that upright stance means you sit tall and see more of what's around you. Pull up to a hotel, a dinner reservation, or a friend's place, and the Defender 90 makes the entrance for you.
Towing for bigger plans
The Defender 90 can tow up to 8,200 lbs when properly equipped. That's serious capability for a compact SUV, and it opens up plans that need more than cargo space alone.
Haul a small boat to the lake, bring a camper on a road trip, or move a trailer full of gear across town. If towing is part of your trip, check the listing details first to confirm the Defender 90 you're booking is equipped for it. Give yourself extra room for braking and turns with a trailer behind you.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Defender 90
Top tips and things to know before renting a Defender 90
Before you book, plan for the two-door layout, the tall roofline, and pricing that varies by listing. Here's what to know.
Get to know your Defender 90
The Defender 90 has two doors, so rear passengers climb in through the front. Plan seating with that in mind — put the most flexible travelers in back, and load luggage before everyone settles in. A quick plan at pickup saves a lot of shuffling later.
If you need four doors or more room, compare a Range Rover rental or the four-door Defender 110. Want another boxy, upright SUV with its own personality? A Ford Bronco rental or Jeep Wrangler rental is worth a look for your dates.
Defender 90 driving tips
The Defender 90 is easy to drive in town once you know its size and height. Use the 3D Surround Camera, if your Defender 90 has one, when you're parking or navigating tight city spaces.
Allow room for the tall roofline, too, and check clearance signs before you enter a parking garage or drive-thru. Before you leave, adjust your seat and mirrors and get comfortable with the Pivi Pro screen while you're still parked. Off-roading is not permitted on Turo.
How much does it cost to rent a Defender 90?
The cost to rent a Defender 90 on Turo depends on your location, trip dates, trim, and the local vehicle owner's pricing. Check current listings for your dates to see the daily price and trip total, and compare a few options side by side.
Planning a longer stay? Look for trip-length discounts, which can lower your total on weekly or monthly bookings. If you need the Defender 90 for a month or more, explore long-term car rental on Turo for extended trips.
