A Subaru Forester SUV rental ready for every season
Drive a Forester
A Subaru Forester SUV rental puts you in a five-seat compact SUV with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and at least 8.7 in of ground clearance. Pick gas power (180 hp) or the hybrid (194 hp combined), and browse every Subaru car rental on Turo to find your match.
On Turo, the car rental marketplace, you book the exact Forester you choose from a local vehicle owner — no "or similar" surprises. Then choose pickup or delivery options that fit your plans.

All-wheel drive, standard on every trim
Every 2027 Forester trim comes with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, plus at least 8.7 in of ground clearance. That pairing gives you steady confidence on snowy mountain highways, rain-soaked city streets, and the long drive to your ski weekend.
EyeSight driver assist
Every Forester trim comes with EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, so long highway stretches feel calmer from the first mile. Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering helps you manage your speed and lane position on the interstate. On equipped trims, Blind-Spot Detection with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert keeps watch during lane changes and when you back out of tight parking spots.
The payoff? You spend less energy on the driving and more on the trip itself. Think sunrise runs to the ski area or long hauls to see family. Check the listing for the exact trim, so you know which systems your Forester includes before you set out.
A tech-forward cabin
Most Forester trims come with an 11.6-in touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Your maps, playlists, and podcasts show up on the big screen without a cord in sight. The base model uses dual 7-in screens instead, so check the listing if screen size matters to you.
On Hybrid and Wilderness trims, a 12.3-in digital gauge cluster puts key driving info right behind the wheel. Upper trims add a wireless charger, so your phone stays topped up without a cable snaking across the console. Your navigation, music, and calls stay within easy reach on every drive — city errand or cross-state haul.
Stand out with a Forester
The Forester fits weekend getaways, national park road trips on paved roads, ski weekends, and visits with family. You get room for five, plus 29.6 cu ft of cargo behind the rear seats. Compare it with other SUV rentals on Turo to find the right size for your crew.
Top Forester features
Hybrid efficiency
The Forester Hybrid makes 194 combined hp, giving you extra pull for highway on-ramps and mountain passes. For 2027, the Sport and Touring trims come only as hybrids, so any 2027 Sport or Touring listing you find runs on hybrid power.
Prefer gas? The 2026 gas Forester returns 26 city / 33 hwy / 29 combined mpg — fewer gas station stops on a long road trip. Check the listing to confirm the powertrain before you book. It's the quickest way to match your Forester to your route, your budget, and your plans.
Cargo-ready versatility
The base Forester gives you 29.6 cu ft of space behind the rear seats — room for suitcases, coolers, and ski bags. Raised roof rails come on the base trim too, which is handy when the cabin's already full.
On select trims, StarTex water-repellent upholstery shrugs off wet skis, sandy beach gear, and a damp dog after a lakeside stroll. That means you can pack for the trip you actually want and spend less time worrying about the seats. Whether you're heading to the slopes in January or the shore in July, the Forester makes room for the gear that makes the trip.
Comfort that goes the distance
Upper Forester trims bring a panoramic moonroof, heated front seats, and a 10-way power driver's seat. Open the moonroof on a clear mountain morning, or warm the seats after a cold day on the slopes. Small upgrades make long drives feel shorter.
The comfort doesn't stop at the upper trims. Even the base model includes dual-zone automatic climate control, so you and your front-seat passenger can each set your own temperature. Fewer debates over the thermostat means more attention on the scenery, the playlist, and the next stop on your route.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Forester
Get to know your Forester
Start with the listing: check the year, trim, and powertrain (gas or hybrid), plus which screen setup the Forester has. Those details affect your fuel stops and how your phone connects.
Browse Subaru rentals in Denver, Subaru rentals in Seattle, or Subaru rentals in Portland to find a Forester near your next trip.
Forester driving tips
A little planning makes your Forester trip easier. Keep these three tips in mind:
Book early for ski season and holiday weekends, so you can lock in the trim and dates you want.
Pack smart by loading the cargo area first and checking the listing before you use the roof rails.
Get comfortable with the EyeSight alerts in a quiet parking lot before you merge onto the highway.
How much does it cost to rent a Forester?
Each local vehicle owner sets the daily price for their Forester, so your cost depends on model year, trip length, location, and extras. You'll see any mandatory fees upfront before you book.
Longer trips can unlock trip-length discounts for three days, one week, two weeks, three weeks, or a month. Book a non-refundable trip four or more days in advance, and you'll save 10%. Need a Forester for a season? Explore long-term car rental on Turo.

What documents do you need to rent a Forester on Turo?
You'll need a physical, valid driver's license — permanent, or temporary with a photo or an extra government photo ID. At checkout, you'll add your name, email, phone number, and a payment method. You don't need to provide your own insurance to book your Forester.
What type of license do you need to rent a Forester?
You need a permanent valid US license or a valid license from your home country. Learner's permits, photocopies, digital licenses, and an International Driving Permit (IDP) used as a replacement do not qualify. Expired, provisional, and restricted licenses do not qualify either.
How old do you need to be to rent a Forester on Turo?
You need to be 18 or older for standard vehicles and 21 or older for vehicles worth more than $20,000 — which covers most Foresters. Drivers aged 18–24 pay a young driver fee, and Turo counts your age at the time of booking.
Do you need insurance to rent a Forester?
No. You don't need your own insurance to book a Forester — you'll choose a protection plan at checkout.
Are there discounts for renting a Forester?
Yes. Your Forester trip can qualify for duration discounts on three-day, one-week, two-week, three-week, and monthly trips. You can also save 10% when you book a non-refundable trip four or more days ahead.

Yes. Monthly Forester trips run 30 days or longer. For trips over 30 days, you pay as you go in 30-day increments.
Do Forester rentals on Turo include unlimited mileage?
It depends on the listing. Standard vehicles include at least 200 miles per day, while some Forester listings include unlimited mileage and others offer it as an Extra. Check the "Distance included" field before you book.
Can other people drive the Forester?
Yes. You can add additional drivers to your Forester trip in the Turo app.
* 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.
