Compact luxury with all-weather confidence
Drive an A3
The Audi A3 is a compact luxury sedan with standard quattro all-wheel drive, sized for city streets and ready for changing weather. On Turo, you book your A3 from a local vehicle owner — no counter line — and choose pickup or delivery. Browse Audi car rental to compare other models from the same badge.
Under the hood, a 2.0L turbo four-cylinder teams up with a 48-volt mild hybrid system to make 201 hp. A seven-speed S tronic transmission sends that power through quattro, so the A3 feels quick off the line and planted through corners.

Turbocharged punch with quattro grip
The A3 pairs real punch with sure footing: 201 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque take it from 0–60 mph in 6.0 seconds. Standard quattro all-wheel drive sends that power to all four wheels, while the 48-volt mild hybrid lends the turbo engine a hand. The seven-speed S tronic also includes a manual mode for when you'd rather pick your own gears.
A cockpit built around you
The A3's cabin puts the information you need right in your line of sight. For 2026, the 12.3-inch virtual cockpit plus comes standard — a digital instrument cluster you can customize to show what matters most to you. A 10.1-inch MMI touchscreen, also standard, handles the rest.
Your phone fits right in, too. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect without a cable, so your playlists, maps, and messages come along for the ride. That means less fiddling with cords at pickup and more time savoring the drive — whether it's a cross-town meeting or a weekend away.
Confidence in every lane
The 2026 A3 comes standard with a suite of driver assists that keep an extra set of eyes on the road. You get Audi pre sense basic and Audi pre sense front, plus Audi side assist with rear cross-traffic assist.
High-beam assist helps manage your headlights after dark, and a rearview camera makes reversing into tight spots easier. It's a reassuring setup on unfamiliar roads — handy on a vacation in a new city or a packed work trip. You stay focused on the drive, and the A3 keeps watch on the details around you.
Stand out with an A3
The A3 suits city trips, business travel, and weekend getaways for up to five people. At 177.3 inches long, it's easy to park, and 28 mpg combined keeps gas station stops in check. It's also a sharp alternative to a larger sedan — and one of many rental cars on Turo you can match to your trip.
Top A3 features
Two decades of A3 heritage
Three things make the A3 stand out: its long heritage, its hybrid-assisted efficiency, and its open-sky design.
The A3 has been part of Audi's US lineup for two decades. It made its US debut for the 2006 model year, and the sedan body joined the lineup for the 2015 model year. Today's A3 belongs to the fourth generation, which arrived for the 2022 model year.
That long run gave the A3 plenty of time to grow up, from its US debut to a sedan body and a fresh generation. When you book a recent A3, you're driving the newest chapter of a model that's spent 20 years earning its place on US roads.
Efficiency with a hybrid assist
The A3 pairs its 2.0L turbo four-cylinder with a 48-volt mild hybrid system — a first for the A3. The result is a drivetrain that blends turbo punch with everyday efficiency, so you get a lively drive and a reasonable fuel bill.
Expect 28 mpg combined, with 24 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway. That makes the A3 a smart pick for highway stretches and errand-filled days alike — fewer gas station stops, more time where you're headed. On a weekend getaway or a weeklong work trip, those miles add up in your favor.
Open-sky design details
Every 2026 A3 comes with a panoramic sunroof as standard, so you can bring the sky into the cabin on every trip. Standard LED headlights give the front end a crisp, modern look and light the way after dark.
The compact 103.7-inch wheelbase keeps the A3 nimble on city streets and easy to tuck into parking spaces and parking garages. It's a design that looks polished pulling up to a hotel entrance and still handles everyday errands with ease. Open the sunroof on a clear afternoon, and even a quick run across town feels like an occasion.

What documents do you need to rent an A3 on Turo?
Here's what to know before you book an A3 on Turo.
You need a physical, valid driver's license — permanent, or a temporary or interim license that's valid for your whole A3 trip. At checkout, you'll provide your name, email, a phone number that accepts texts, and a payment method.
What kind of driver's license can you use to rent an A3?
You can use a valid US license or a valid license from your home country. Turo doesn't accept learner's permits or photocopies, and an International Driving Permit can't replace your license.
How old do you need to be to rent an A3 on Turo?
The age requirement for an A3 depends on the vehicle's class and value, and you'll see it on the listing. Across Turo, the minimum age is 18 for standard vehicles, 21 for vehicles with a market value above $20k, and 25 for Deluxe Class. Turo checks your age at booking, and drivers ages 18–24 pay a young driver fee.
Do you need your own insurance to rent an A3 on Turo?
No — you don't need to provide your own insurance to book an A3. You'll choose from a range of protection plans.
Are there discounts on A3 rentals?
Yes. A3 trips can qualify for duration discounts on three-day, one-week, two-week, three-week, and monthly trips. There's also a 10% non-refundable discount on trips you book four or more days ahead.
Can you rent an A3 for a month or longer?
Yes — A3 trips can run 30 days or more with no trip fee, with limited exceptions in parts of Los Angeles and New York. Trips longer than 30 days use "Pay as you go."
Do A3 rentals come with unlimited mileage?
It depends on the listing. Some local vehicle owners include unlimited mileage with their A3, and some offer an "Unlimited mileage" Extra. Check the "Distance included" field on the A3 listing before you book.
Can someone else drive the A3 during your trip?
Yes — you can add drivers to your A3 trip in the Turo app. Each added driver needs approval and must meet the age and license requirements. The primary driver must pick up and return the A3.
What happens if you go over the mileage limit on an A3 rental?
If you drive past your A3 trip's distance limit, you'll pay an additional distance fee. You'll find that fee on the A3 listing.
* 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.
