A V6 sport sedan with a loyal following
Drive a TL
Start your Acura rental search with the TL, a midsize luxury sport sedan that ran for model years 1996–2014. Its final generation paired V6 power with available SH-AWD (Super Handling All-Wheel Drive) — a combination that still earns the TL its fans.
On Turo, you book your TL from a local vehicle owner. Pickup or delivery depends on the listing, and so do the model year and trim — so check the details before you book.

Up to 305 hp of V6 power, with available SH-AWD
The final-generation TL gives you two V6 engines, and Acura recommends premium fuel for both. The FWD car uses a 3.5 L V6 (280 hp, 254 lb-ft), and the SH-AWD gets a 3.7 L V6 (305 hp, 273 lb-ft). As tested by Edmunds, the FWD car hits 0–60 mph in 6.4 seconds, and the SH-AWD with the manual gets there in 5.7.
Cabin sound with up to 10 speakers
The 2014 TL gives you a 276-watt, eight-speaker sound system as standard. Choose a TL with the Technology Package, and you step up to a 440-watt Acura/ELS Surround system with 10 speakers. That's two more speakers and 164 more watts for your road-trip playlist — or your morning podcast.
In Canada, Acura offered the TL with Technology and Elite packages, among others. Equipment varies from car to car, so check the listing if the upgraded system matters to you. A quick look before you book means no surprises when you settle in behind the wheel.
Six-speed automatic or six-speed manual
Late-model TLs give you six gears, whichever way you like to shift. The 2012 refresh swapped the five-speed automatic for a six-speed automatic, so 2012–2014 cars get one more ratio to work with. If you'd rather shift for yourself, the SH-AWD paired with a six-speed manual starting in 2010.
The manual trims weight, too. A manual SH-AWD weighs 1,764 kg, while the automatic weighs 1,800 kg — that's 36 kg less to carry through every corner. If the transmission matters to you, confirm it in the listing before you book.
Stand out with a TL
The TL suits trips that call for five seats, a roomy trunk, and efficient highway cruising. Its 354 L trunk (SH-AWD) fits a small-group weekend getaway, a business trip, or a trial run before you buy a used TL. Add 11.4 city and 7.6 highway L/100 km (SH-AWD), and it makes a strong case for your next car rental in Canada.
Top TL features
TL heritage, 1996–2014
Three things set the TL apart: its long-running heritage, its fourth-generation design, and its Canadian trims and packages.
The TL nameplate ran for model years 1996–2014, giving it nearly two decades on the road. Honda built it at its Marysville, Ohio plant from 1999 through the final 2014 cars. That's 19 model years under one name, with most of them built in the same Ohio plant.
Its successor took over for the 2015 model year, so any TL you book today is a slice of Acura history. TL rentals on Turo let you drive one without committing to ownership. You get the nameplate, the V6, and the story — and you hand back the keys when your trip ends.
Fourth-generation design, 2009–2014
The fourth-generation TL covers the 2009–2014 model years, and it's the generation that introduced SH-AWD as an option. That makes it the TL to look for if you want V6 power with all-wheel-drive grip. It's also the generation behind every spec on this page.
The 2012 refresh brought a revised grille and nose, giving later cars a distinct front end. If the look matters to you, check the model year in the listing — 2012–2014 cars wear the updated design. Earlier fourth-generation cars carry the original front styling.
A-Spec and other Canadian packages
In Canada, Acura offered the TL with four packages: SH-AWD, A-Spec, Technology, and Elite. That range gives you options, whether you want all-wheel drive, upgraded sound, or a specific package you've had your eye on. It also means two TLs can look alike yet differ in equipment.
Trims vary by listing, so check the details before you book. Look for the package name in the listing description, along with the model year, drivetrain, and transmission. That way, the TL waiting for you at pickup matches the one you pictured.

Top tips and things to know before renting a TL
Get to know your TL
Before you book a TL, confirm the exact car, plan for the conditions, and understand how pricing works.
Check the listing first — TLs vary by model year, drivetrain (FWD or SH-AWD), transmission, and package. Acura recommends premium fuel, so plan your fill-ups accordingly.
TL driving tips
SH-AWD versions add confidence in Canadian winter and wet weather, so look for one if your trip falls in the colder months. If the listing has the six-speed manual, confirm you're comfortable driving one before you book. Pack with the trunk in mind, too — SH-AWD models offer 354 L.
How much does it cost to rent a TL?
The price of a TL rental depends on the listing, the model year, your trip length, and the season. Local vehicle owners can offer trip-duration discounts on three-day, one-week, two-week, three-week, and monthly trips.
Staying longer? Trips over 30 days use "Pay as you go" — explore long-term car rental to see your options.

* 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.
