Fiat 500e car rental, sized for the city
Drive a 500e
The Fiat 500e is a zippy, compact city car that runs entirely on electricity. It's front-wheel drive, assembled in Italy, and small enough to tuck into tight parking spots. It's also one of the most charming picks in Fiat car rental on Turo.
On Turo, you book the exact 500e you want from a local vehicle owner. Choose the pickup or delivery option that fits your plans, then slide behind the wheel and go.

Quick, quiet electric power
The 500e pairs 117 hp with 162 lb-ft of instant torque, so it feels lively the moment you press the pedal. A one-speed automatic keeps the power smooth and quiet. In stop-and-go traffic, that quick response makes every green light feel like a little head start.
A range built for everyday trips
The 500e has an EPA-estimated range of 149 miles from its 42 kWh battery. That's plenty for a day of city errands, a dinner across town, and a scenic detour on the way home.
Charging fits neatly into your plans, too. About five minutes at a DC fast charger adds roughly 31 miles — enough for a quick top-up while you grab a coffee. On a 240V charger, a full charge takes about 6.2 hours, so plugging in overnight sets you up for the next day.
Small footprint, smart safety
At 143 inches long, the 500e is the smallest new car on sale in the US. That compact size pays off fast in the city. Think tight parallel spots, crowded parking garages, and narrow neighborhood streets that make bigger cars sweat.
The safety tech punches above the car's size. Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection helps you react when traffic ahead stops short. That's reassuring backup on busy downtown blocks, where crosswalks fill up fast and you want easy parking plus peace of mind.
Stand out with a 500e
The 500e shines on city stays, weekend getaways, and short trips where style and easy parking matter. With four seats and a footprint made for tight streets, it suits couples, solo travelers, and small families who pack light.

Top 500e features
One-pedal driving
Three features set the 500e apart: one-pedal driving, a pedestrian alert that sings, and Italian design lineage.
One-pedal driving lets you speed up and slow down mostly with the go pedal. Press to accelerate, then ease off to slow the car. Once you get the feel, it's a smooth, intuitive rhythm that can make crawling through downtown traffic feel easier.
You'll still need the brake pedal for harder stops, so keep your foot ready when traffic halts suddenly. Try the mode on a quiet street first, then switch it on for city driving and see how quickly it clicks.
A car that sings
At low speeds, the 500e's pedestrian alert plays a tune to signal that the car is nearby. You'll hear a little melody as you roll through parking lots, crosswalks, and quiet neighborhood streets.
It's a practical safety feature with a playful twist — fitting for a car this charming. People walking nearby get a friendly heads-up, and you get a fun moment every time you pull away from the curb. Expect a few heads to turn (and a few smiles) as you glide past cafés and storefronts.
Italian design lineage
The 500e is the modern electric take on a silhouette its nameplate made famous. It's rounded, compact, and instantly recognizable on any street. Assembled in Italy, it carries that heritage into an all-electric package built for today's cities.
That design is a big part of the fun. Park it outside a sidewalk café, pull up for a weekend brunch, or cruise a waterfront boulevard at sunset. If you want a rental with real personality and a sense of place, the 500e delivers both in a footprint you can park almost anywhere.
Top tips and things to know before renting a 500e
Get to know your 500e
The 500e is a two-door, four-seat hatchback. The rear seats are snug, so the car works best for two adults with light luggage, or for two kids in back. For a different fit, consider the gas-powered Fiat 500 or the roomier Fiat 500X crossover.
500e driving tips
A little planning helps you get the most from your 500e.
Plan charging stops around the 149-mile EPA range, which drops to 141 miles with all-season tires.
Try one-pedal mode for smoother stop-and-go driving.
Stick mostly to city streets, where the 500e is at its best, rather than long highway stretches.
Check the charge level at pickup so you know your starting range.
How much does it cost to rent a 500e?
The cost to rent a 500e on Turo varies by location, dates, and vehicle. Some local vehicle owners offer weekly and monthly discounts, so longer trips can cost less per day. If you're staying a while, explore long-term car rental on Turo.

* 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.
