A three-row SUV with room for the whole crew
Drive an Ascent
A Subaru Ascent SUV rental gives you three rows of seats, generous cargo space, and standard all-wheel drive for wet or wintry highways.
The Ascent is Subaru's three-row SUV, pairing a 260-hp turbocharged boxer engine with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. If you're browsing Subaru car rental options for a family trip, it's the pick when the whole crew is coming along.
On Turo, you book your Ascent from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. Choose your dates, pick a listing, and you're set.

Turbocharged power with all-wheel grip
The Ascent's 2.4L turbocharged boxer four-cylinder makes 260 hp and 277 lb-ft of torque. A CVT with eight simulated gears handles the shifting, and paddle shifters let you pick the gear yourself when you'd like. Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive helps you keep steady footing on rainy roads and snowy highways.
A cabin built for seven or eight
Every Ascent seats seven or eight, depending on the seating layout you book. Captain's chairs give you seven seats, while bench seating fits eight. Third-row riders get 36.2 in of headroom — worth knowing if adults will ride in back.
Cargo space flexes with your trip. You get 17.8 cu ft behind the third row, expanding to up to 75.6 cu ft with the rear seats folded. Pack the coolers, strollers, and ski bags, then rearrange the space as your plans change from day to day.
Tech that keeps everyone connected
The Ascent puts an 11.6-in touchscreen front and center on the dash. It's a big, easy-to-read display, so you can make quick adjustments without hunting for buttons — handy when the back rows keep sending requests.
Want a richer soundtrack for the drive? Look for the available 14-speaker Harman Kardon audio, which lets everyone from the front seats to the third row enjoy the same playlist on long drives. If great sound matters to you, confirm it's included in the listing details before you book.
Stand out with an Ascent
The Ascent is a family-sized, all-weather SUV made for ski weekends, national park drives, and group trips. Seven or eight seats mean nobody gets left behind, and standard all-wheel drive adds confidence when the forecast turns. Want to compare sizes first?

Top Ascent features
Road-trip range
Three standouts make the Ascent easy to live with on a trip: road-trip range, EyeSight driver assist, and a trim for every taste.
The Ascent carries a 19.3-gal fuel tank and runs on regular 87 octane. That works out to a range of more than 400 miles, so you can cover long highway stretches between gas station stops.
Fewer fill-ups leave more time for the scenic overlooks, snack runs, and roadside photo stops on your itinerary. Regular fuel keeps things simple, too — you won't need to hunt for premium pumps along the way. Plan your stops around that range and spend the rest of the drive enjoying the view.
EyeSight driver assist
The Ascent comes with Subaru EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, which Subaru positions as standard across most of its lineup. Think of it as an extra set of eyes on the road while you focus on the drive ahead.
You're still the one driving, so stay alert and treat EyeSight as backup. Before you head out, take a minute to find the EyeSight controls in your Ascent and get comfortable with how they work. A quick check at pickup means fewer surprises once you're on the highway with a full car.
A trim for every taste
The Ascent comes in five trims: Premium, Limited, Bronze Edition, Touring, and Onyx Edition Touring. The trim shapes the details. The Premium, for example, rates 22 mpg combined and offers up to 75.6 cu ft of cargo space, while other trims rate 21 mpg combined.
Features vary by trim, so check the listing before you book. If one detail makes or breaks your trip, confirm it in the listing description. That way, the Ascent waiting for you at pickup matches the trip you've planned.
Top tips and things to know before renting a Ascent
Get to know your Ascent
A little prep goes a long way: confirm the details of your Ascent, get comfortable with its size, and know how pricing works.
Start by checking the year, trim, and seating layout in the listing — some Ascents seat seven, others seat eight. That one detail can decide who rides where.

Ascent driving tips
A few minutes of practice makes the Ascent feel familiar fast:
Practice in a quiet parking lot to get a feel for its 196.8-in length.
Try the paddle shifters so you know how to pick a gear yourself.
Plan fuel stops around a range of more than 400 miles.
How much does it cost to rent an Ascent?
Each local vehicle owner sets their own price, so the cost to rent an Ascent varies by year, trip length, and location. Check the listing for the daily rate and trip total before you book.
Longer trips can bring the price down. Look for trip-duration discounts on three-day, one-week, two-week, three-week, and monthly trips, and book four or more days ahead to get a 10% non-refundable discount.
Need your Ascent for a month or more? Look into long-term car rental for trips of 30 days or longer.

What documents do I need to rent a Subaru Ascent on Turo?
You need a valid driver's license. Before your trip, you'll upload photos of your license plus a selfie of you holding it.
What type of driver's license do I need to rent an Ascent?
You need a physical, permanent, valid driver's license from the US or your home country. Temporary licenses work only if they're valid for your whole trip.
Learner's permits, photocopies, digital licenses, and an International Driving Permit (IDP) used in place of a license aren't accepted. If you're visiting from outside the US, you don't need an IDP for a US trip.
How old do I have to be to rent an Ascent?
You need to be at least 21 to rent an Ascent. Vehicles worth more than $20,000 require drivers 21 and older, and the Ascent's MSRP starts at $40,795. Drivers aged 18–24 pay a young driver fee, so expect one if you're 21–24.
Do I need my own insurance to rent an Ascent?
No — you'll choose a protection plan at checkout.
Are there discounts on Ascent rentals?
Yes. Trip-duration discounts are available for three-day, one-week, two-week, three-week, and monthly trips. Book four or more days ahead and you'll get a 10% non-refundable discount.
Can I rent an Ascent long term?
Yes. Monthly trips run 30 days or more and use "Pay as you go" billing in 30-day increments.
Do Ascent rentals come with unlimited mileage?
It depends on the listing. Each listing sets its own distance limit, and some offer unlimited distance. In the US, the standard minimum is 200 miles per day.
Can someone else drive the Ascent?
Yes — add drivers in the Turo app. Each driver needs their own approved Turo account and must meet the age requirements.
* 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.
