A Buick Regal rental with grown-up poise
Drive a Regal
A Buick Regal car rental gets you a midsize five-door liftback with sleek sedan lines and real cargo room. It's a standout among Buick car rental options on Turo — refined, roomy, and turbocharged.
The sixth-generation Regal ran 2018–2020, with 2020 as its final US model year. On Turo, you book yours from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans.

Turbocharged power, refined pace
The Regal pairs a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder with 250 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, giving you strong pull for merging and passing. Front-wheel-drive models send that power through a nine-speed automatic. Car and Driver praises the engine as potent and refined and the ride as smooth — exactly what you want hours into a long drive.
Liftback cargo flexibility
The Regal's liftback design gives you 31.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats — more room than its sleek profile suggests. Fold those seats down and the space grows to 60.7 cubic feet. That's enough for bulky gear, a stack of suitcases, or a weekend's farmers market haul.
The hatch opens wide, so you load through a tall, generous opening instead of a narrow trunk lid. That's a practical edge for airport runs, move-in days, and road trips where you've packed a little more than planned. Sliding a big suitcase in or out takes one easy motion, and you'll spend less time playing luggage Tetris at the curb.
Roomy, comfortable cabin
The Regal seats five, and Car and Driver lists "potent and refined engine, roomy cabin, smooth ride quality" among its highs. That makes it an easy pick when you're sharing the ride with friends, family, or colleagues. Everyone gets space to settle in, and the smooth ride keeps long stretches relaxed.
A split-folding rear seat with a pass-through adds flexibility when your cargo doesn't fit neatly in the back. Slide skis, a rolled-up rug, or long boxes through the middle while two passengers still ride in back. You get sedan comfort with the versatility of a hatch — handy when your plans change mid-trip.
Stand out with a Regal
The Regal suits road trips, business travel, and couples or small families who want more style than a standard sedan delivers. Its liftback shape, turbo power, and smooth ride make long days behind the wheel feel lighter. Find one near your next destination through car rental across the US on Turo.
Top Regal features
German-built engineering
Three features set the Regal apart: German-built engineering, connected tech, and highway-friendly efficiency.
The 2020 Regal went through final assembly in Germany, and you'll notice its European-tuned feel from the first drive. It's a Buick with a continental accent, backed by the smooth ride Car and Driver highlights.
The Regal Sportback measures 192.9 inches long and rides on a 111.4-inch wheelbase, giving it a long, stretched-out stance. The base front-wheel-drive model weighs 3,748 pounds, and the turbo four's 260 lb-ft of torque moves it with ease. You get the polish of European engineering with the comfort and space of a midsize Buick.
Connected tech
Every 2020 Regal comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard. Connect your phone, and your maps, playlists, and messages appear on the dash screen. A seven-speaker sound system fills the cabin, whether you're streaming a podcast on a commute or a playlist across state lines.
That means less fiddling with unfamiliar menus and more focus on the road ahead. Before you pull away, set your destination and let familiar apps guide you to the next stop. It's a small detail that makes a rental feel like your own car from the first mile.
Highway-friendly efficiency
Front-wheel-drive Regals earn an EPA-estimated 22 mpg city and 32 mpg highway, for 26 mpg combined. That highway figure makes the Regal a smart match for long drives between cities or a weekend loop through the countryside.
Pair that efficiency with a 16.3-gallon tank, and you can cover long stretches of highway between gas station stops. You'll spend more time enjoying the drive and less time hunting for the next exit with a pump. These figures apply to front-wheel-drive models, so check the listing for the drivetrain on the Regal you book.
Top tips and things to know before renting a Regal
Get to know your Regal
A little prep helps you pick the right Regal and get the most from your trip. Start with the trim, then plan your drive and your budget.
Check the year and trim on the listing before you book. The 2020 lineup includes Base, Preferred, Essence, Avenir, and GS trims, with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive depending on the model.
Front-wheel-drive versions use a nine-speed automatic, while the all-wheel-drive Essence uses an eight-speed. The sporty GS steps up to a 3.6L V6 with 310 hp and all-wheel drive. If you're heading to Southern California, browse Buick rentals in Los Angeles to compare options from local vehicle owners.
Regal driving tips
Book early to lock in the year and trim you want, then plan your route before you set out. Check the fuel level at pickup, and note that premium gas is the recommended grade for the Regal.
Before you leave, take a minute to get familiar with the liftback hatch and the infotainment system. Pair your phone, test the hatch, and adjust your seat and mirrors so you're ready to roll from the first turn.
How much does it cost to rent a Regal?
The cost to rent a Regal depends on the vehicle's year, your trip length, any extras you add, and whether you choose delivery. Book a non-refundable trip four or more days ahead to save 10%, and look for trip-duration discounts at three days, one week, and one month.
For trips of 30 days or more, long-term car rental on Turo lets you pay as you go. These longer trips carry no trip fee, except in parts of Los Angeles and New York.

* 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.

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.
