Open-air Italian charm with a Fiat 500c car rental
Drive a 500c
A Fiat 500c car rental gives you retro Italian design, a folding cloth top, and a compact size made for city streets. It's the convertible version of the Fiat 500, and 2019 marked its final US model year. If you've always loved the brand's playful look, a Fiat rental on Turo puts that personality in your hands.
Booking a 500c on Turo is simple — you book directly from a local vehicle owner on a car rental marketplace built around your plans. Choose pickup or delivery where the listing offers it. Then manage your trip in the Turo app.

A roof that opens the sky
The 500c's signature feature is an accordion-style cloth top that folds back in stages, so you control how much sky you see. Open it partway for a sunroof-like feel, or stow it fully with the rear window tucked away. It retracts at the push of a button at up to 60 mph, while the side pillars frame a panoramic view.
Turbo power in a compact package
The 500c runs on a 1.4L turbocharged four-cylinder MultiAir engine that makes 135 hp and 150 lb-ft of torque. In a car that weighs 2,424 lbs, that turbo gives you a lively, eager feel around town.
Power goes to the front wheels through either a six-speed automatic or a five-speed manual, depending on the listing. If you enjoy shifting your own gears, look for a manual. If you'd rather relax in stop-and-go traffic, the automatic is the easier pick — and it's the version behind the 24 city/32 hwy mpg rating.
Sized for city streets
The 500c thrives in tight spaces, with a 37.6-ft turning circle that makes U-turns and parking garages far less stressful. Its compact footprint helps when street parking is scarce and every foot counts.
It's also easy on your fuel budget. The automatic version is rated at 24 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. That means more time exploring and less time at the gas station. Between the small size and the open roof, you get a car that feels at home on narrow downtown blocks and breezy coastal routes alike.
Stand out with a 500c
The 500c is the best fit for couples or small groups planning a coastal getaway or a city weekend. With four seats and a roof that folds back, it turns a beach drive or a downtown loop into the highlight of your trip. If you'd like to compare open-top options, browse convertible rentals across the US on Turo.
Top 500c features
Italian design lineage
Three things make the 500c memorable: its Italian design lineage, Abarth performance, and cabin comforts.
The 500c wears retro Italian styling that sets it apart from almost anything else in a parking lot. It has the kind of personality you notice the moment you walk up to it.
The Fiat 500 arrived in the US for the 2012 model year, and the 500c is its cabrio version. That pairing of retro design and a folding top makes every start-up feel like a small celebration. Since 2019 was the final US model year, renting one is a chance to enjoy a modern classic from the driver's seat. It's an easy pick when you want your trip photos to look as good as your destination.
Abarth performance
If your listing is an Abarth, you're getting the most spirited version of the 500c. The Abarth makes 160 hp and 170 lb-ft of torque with the manual transmission. That's a clear step up from the standard 135 hp and 150 lb-ft.
Not every 500c on Turo is an Abarth, so check the listing title and details before you book. If you spot one, expect the same compact size and folding roof with noticeably more punch under your right foot. It's a fun choice when you want your open-air drive to feel a little more energetic. If the listing says Pop or Lounge instead, you'll still get the 135 hp turbo engine — quick on its feet around town.
Cabin comforts
The 500c seats four, so you can bring a friend or two along for the ride. Bluetooth lets you stream your playlist or take hands-free calls without fumbling for cables.
The 50/50-split folding rear seat gives you flexibility when you need extra room for bags. Fold one side down for luggage and keep the other open for a passenger. Some 500c rentals also have available Beats audio, which turns any drive into a concert with the roof down. Features vary by vehicle, so check the listing to see exactly what's included before you book.

Top tips and things to know before renting a 500c
Get to know your 500c
A little prep goes a long way with a 500c. Here's what to check before you book and what to know once you're behind the wheel.
Check the listing for trim and transmission first, since some 500c rentals have an automatic and others have a manual. With 5.4 cu ft of cargo space, you'll want to pack light — soft bags fit more easily than hard-shell suitcases.
If you're planning a warm-weather trip, start with Fiat rentals in Miami or Fiat cars in Los Angeles to see what's listed.
500c driving tips
You can open the roof at speeds up to 60 mph, so there's no need to pull over when the sun comes out. The top keeps its side pillars in place, which gives you open-air views with a familiar frame around you.
Premium unleaded is the recommended fuel for the 500c's turbo engine. In town, use that compact size and 37.6-ft turning circle to your advantage for tight turns and snug parking spots.
How much does it cost to rent a 500c?
The cost to rent a 500c varies by location, trip dates, and the specific vehicle. Check current listings on Turo for the most accurate prices.

* 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.
