Drive a Metro LSi

A Chevrolet Metro LSi car rental gets you a tiny, light, and frugal sedan straight out of the turn of the millennium. It's small enough for the tightest parking spot and quirky enough to turn heads.

The Chevrolet Metro LSi is a subcompact four-door sedan with seating for four. It started life as the Geo Metro (1989–1997), then ran as the Chevrolet Metro through 2001, when only the LSi sedan remained. Browse more Chevrolet car rental options on Turo, or keep it classic with the Metro.

On Turo, you book the exact Metro LSi in the listing from a local vehicle owner. You set pickup and drop-off in the Turo app, so the trip fits your plans.

Frugal four-cylinder efficiency

The Metro LSi sips fuel from a 1.3L inline four-cylinder with 16 valves, making 79 hp and 75 lb-ft of torque. The automatic version earns 26 city/31 hwy/28 combined mpg, and a 10.3-gallon tank keeps gas station stops short and simple.

Light on its feet

The Metro LSi weighs 1,984 lbs — less than a ton — so it feels nimble from the first turn of the wheel. A short 93.1-inch wheelbase and a 31.5-foot turning circle let it pivot through tight neighborhood streets and crowded downtown blocks.

That small footprint pays off when you park. You can slip into compact spaces that larger sedans pass by, and U-turns take one sweep instead of a three-point shuffle. In a busy parking garage or on a packed street, you'll spend less time circling and more time getting where you're going.

Small outside, sensible inside

The Metro LSi measures just 164 inches long, yet it still seats four people. That makes it a practical pick for a couple on a city getaway or a small group running errands across town.

Out back, a 10.3-cubic-foot trunk holds a couple of carry-ons, a weekend duffel, or a grocery run. Front-wheel drive keeps the layout simple and the handling predictable, so you can focus on the drive. It's proof that a compact car can still cover the everyday basics — without the bulk of a bigger sedan.

Stand out with a Metro LSi

The Metro LSi brings turn-of-the-millennium charm to any trip. It suits nostalgic drivers, tight-parking city errands, photo shoots that need a period-correct prop, and retro weekends away. Compare it with the rest of Chevrolet's compact lineup, then savor a car that makes every outing feel like a throwback.

Geo heritage

The Metro LSi stands out for its Geo heritage, owner-approved simplicity, and retro-era collectibility.

The Metro LSi carries a name with deep roots in budget motoring. It launched in 1989 as the Geo Metro, kept that badge through 1997, and became the Chevrolet Metro in 1998.

Along the way, it became an unlikely icon — a no-frills economy car that people still remember fondly decades later. By 2001, the LSi sedan was the only Metro left, the final chapter of a car that defined thrifty driving for more than a decade. Rent one, and you're driving the closing act.

Owner-approved simplicity

Owners love the Metro for what it leaves out. On Kelley Blue Book, owners rate the 1998–2001 generation 4.3 out of 5, and 94% say they'd recommend it — strong marks for a car built around the basics.

That loyalty comes from the car's simple, analog character. There's no touchscreen or menu maze — just a steering wheel, pedals, and a small engine that does its job. If your daily driver feels like a tablet on wheels, the Metro LSi brings back a direct connection to the road.

Retro-era collectibility

The Metro is now a 25-year-old classic, and you don't spot many on the road anymore. That rarity is a big part of its appeal for anyone who loves late-1990s design.

The Metro LSi sedan rolled out of a factory in Canada, with rounded styling that's pure turn-of-the-millennium. The 2000 lineup also offered an LSi two-door hatchback coupe, so the four-door sedan is just one piece of a small family. Book one, and you'll drive a car most people only remember from high school parking lots — and collect a few nostalgic looks.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Metro LSi

decorative separator

Get to know your Metro LSi

The Metro LSi rewards a little planning. Know what's in the cabin, give yourself room on the highway, and pack light.

Expect an analog, no-frills cabin, and check the listing for the features your Metro LSi includes. Don't assume modern tech like a touchscreen or smartphone integration — this is a car from a simpler era.

The 2001 model came with a three-speed automatic, but check the listing to confirm the transmission before you book. If your plans call for more muscle, a Chevrolet Camaro rental adds power, while a Chevrolet Malibu rental offers more space. For modern features in a compact package, consider a Chevrolet Cruze rental.

Metro LSi driving tips

With 79 hp, the Metro LSi needs a little extra room to merge onto the highway or pass. Plan those moves early and give yourself space.

Pack light, too — the 10.3-cubic-foot trunk fits the essentials, not the whole closet. In the city, put that tight 31.5-foot turning circle to work for quick U-turns and easy parallel parking.

How much does it cost to rent a Metro LSi?

The price of a Metro LSi rental varies by listing, trip length, location, and any extras you add. Check each listing for its daily price and trip total.

Some listings offer discounts on longer trips. Need the car for weeks or months? Explore long-term car rental options on Turo.
