A hybrid sedan that sips fuel and skips the stops
Drive an Insight
The Honda Insight is a compact, five-seat hybrid sedan that pairs a 1.5L four-cylinder engine with an electric motor for up to 52 mpg combined. Production ended in June 2022, so the 2022 model is the final US model year. It's a smart pick when you browse Honda car rental on Turo.
On Turo, you book your Insight from a local vehicle owner and choose pickup or delivery, depending on the listing. You can search, book, and manage the whole trip in the Turo app.

Exceptional hybrid fuel efficiency
The Insight EX earns 55 mpg city, 49 mpg highway, and 52 mpg combined, so you spend less time at the pump. Its 10.6-gallon tank takes regular unleaded, which means fewer fuel stops on long drives (and no need to pay for premium).
Honda Sensing driver-assist
Every 2022 Insight comes with Honda Sensing, a suite of driver-assist tech that helps you stay sharp on busy roads. Forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking watch the traffic ahead, while road departure mitigation and lane-keeping assist help keep you centered in your lane. Traffic sign recognition helps you track posted signs in an unfamiliar city, and blind spot warning rounds out the safety tech when you change lanes.
On the highway, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow keeps a set gap and slows with traffic — handy on stop-and-go stretches. It's a calmer way to cover miles, whether you're commuting across town or driving to a weekend getaway.
Smooth electric-assisted power
The Insight makes 151 total system horsepower from its 1.5L engine and electric motor, and the motor alone delivers 197 lb-ft of torque. That electric torque gives you responsive pickup when you pull away from a light or merge into traffic.
An e-CVT sends power to the front wheels without traditional gear shifts, so acceleration feels smooth and steady. Around town, the hybrid system runs quietly at low speeds — a welcome break from engine noise in stop-and-go traffic. You get easy, predictable power for daily errands, airport runs, and longer highway drives alike.
Stand out with an Insight
The Insight gives you a practical, efficient sedan for city trips, daily commutes, and weekend road trips. Its sleek sedan lines look sharp at any curb, and the 15.1-cubic-foot trunk (EX) holds your luggage for a getaway or a big grocery run. If you're comparing sedans and everyday cars on Turo, the Insight pairs standout mileage with a polished, grown-up look.
Top Insight features
Hybrid heritage since 2000
Three things set the Insight apart: hybrid heritage that dates to 2000, a connected 8-inch touchscreen, and Touring-trim comfort.
The Insight has been on US roads since 2000, when it arrived as one of the first hybrids sold in the US. That first generation was a two-seat, lightweight aluminum hatchback designed around efficiency — a bold look for its time.
The third generation (2019–2022) traded that design for a four-door sedan with room for five, while keeping the focus on fuel savings. When you rent an Insight, you're driving the final chapter of a nameplate that helped introduce hybrids to American drivers. It's a quiet bit of automotive history, and it still makes everyday sense.
Connected 8-inch touchscreen
Your Insight's 8-inch touchscreen comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so your phone's apps show up right on the dash. Pull up your favorite navigation app, play your own playlists, and keep the directions in clear view on a larger screen.
That matters in a rental, because you don't have to learn an unfamiliar system before you drive off. Connect your phone, and the Insight feels familiar from the first mile — in a new city or on a daily commute. Everything you use most stays one tap away.
Touring-trim comfort
The 2022 Insight came in two trims — EX and Touring — and the Touring adds a noticeable layer of comfort. If your Insight is a Touring, you'll settle into heated leather-trimmed seats, look up through a moonroof, and follow built-in navigation. A 10-speaker audio system fills the cabin with your soundtrack.
Trim varies by listing, so check the details before you book if these extras matter to you. The EX still gives you Honda Sensing, the 8-inch touchscreen, and the best mileage of the two trims at 52 mpg combined.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Insight
Get to know your Insight
Before you book, check the model year and trim, plan to fill up with regular unleaded, and lean on the driver-assist tech for highway miles. Here's what to know.
The third-generation Insight is a four-door sedan built for the 2019–2022 model years, and 2022 is the final US model year. Insight listings on Turo have included 2014, 2020, and 2022 models, so check each listing for the year and trim before you book. If you need more space for a family trip, a Honda Odyssey rental gives you a roomier option.
Insight driving tips
The Insight is easy to drive, and a few habits help you get the most from it:
Fill up with regular unleaded, since the Insight doesn't need premium.
Take it slow in parking lots, since the hybrid runs quietly at low speeds and pedestrians may not hear you.
Use adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist to ease highway fatigue.
Return the car with the same fuel level it had at the start of your trip.
How much does it cost to rent an Insight?
Insight listings on Turo that appear in search have shown prices of roughly $45–$49 per day. Your price depends on location, trip dates, model year, and trim. Many listings offer discounts for longer trips, and long-term car rental lets you keep an Insight for a month or more.

* 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.
