A sport sedan with polish and punch
Drive a IS
The IS is the sport sedan of the Lexus rental world — compact, luxurious, and powered by a 3.5L V6. Refreshed for 2026 and sold in the US as the IS 350 F SPORT, it pairs everyday comfort with real eagerness on the on-ramp.
Booking a Lexus IS car rental on Turo puts you in charge of the details. You book from a local vehicle owner, then choose pickup or delivery (where the listing offers it) to fit your plans.

Naturally aspirated V6 power
The IS runs on a 3.5L naturally aspirated V6 that makes 311 hp at 6,600 rpm and 280 lb-ft of torque. Rear-wheel-drive models reach 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, all-wheel-drive models in 5.9, and top track speed tops out at 143 mph. With no turbo in the mix, power builds smoothly as the revs climb — your right foot gets a direct line to the engine.
Tech that keeps you connected
Your phone links up the moment you settle in. The IS supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so maps, music, and messages appear on the 12.3-inch touchscreen without a cable in sight.
A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster sits behind the wheel and keeps speed and key driving info in your line of sight. That pairing — big center screen, crisp digital gauges — makes the IS easy to learn on the first day of your trip. Set your destination before you pull away, and you're ready for wherever the day takes you, from airport runs to dinner across town.
Confident, attentive driver assistance
Every 2026 IS comes standard with Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, a suite of driver-assistance tech that supports you on busy highways and unfamiliar roads. It's a welcome extra set of eyes when you're driving somewhere new.
Adaptive cruise control shines on long drives. Set your speed, and it helps hold a gap to the car ahead as traffic ebbs and flows — less pedal work on the interstate. You're still in charge, so stay alert and treat it as backup that makes a long day behind the wheel feel shorter.
Stand out with a IS
The IS gives you a luxury sedan that drives with sporting intent, in a size that suits real life. It's nimble on city streets, polished for date nights and business trips, and ready for weekend getaways with up to five aboard. Browse IS listings on Turo's car rental marketplace and match one to your plans.
Top IS features
F SPORT character
Three things set the IS apart: its F SPORT character, your choice of RWD or AWD, and a long-running legacy.
F SPORT marks the top grade of the IS, and it adds sporting elements that sharpen the car's look and feel. For 2026, the US lineup comes only as the IS 350 F SPORT, so every 2026 model you book wears the badge.
Pair that grade with the 311-hp V6, and you get a sedan that feels eager from the first stoplight. It's the IS for travelers who want the drive to be part of the fun — a coastal cruise or a crosstown dinner reservation. Older model years may come in other grades, so check the listing details before you book.
Your choice of RWD or AWD
The IS comes in rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and both versions earn an EPA-rated 22 mpg combined. RWD pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission, while AWD uses a six-speed automatic.
RWD is the purist's pick — it reaches 60 mph in 5.6 seconds versus 5.9 for AWD and weighs less (3,792 vs 3,913 lbs). AWD adds traction and confidence when the weather turns wet or wintry. Since fuel economy lands in the same place either way, choose based on your route and the season, then look for listings that match.
A long-running Lexus icon
The IS is the oldest model in the brand's lineup. It was last redesigned in 2014, earned a refresh for 2026, and still heads to Japan for final assembly.
For you, that history means a sedan with a clear identity: compact proportions, a sporty attitude, and luxury touches throughout. The 2026 refresh updates a familiar shape, while older model years widen your choice of year and trim. Renting one is a low-commitment way to see why the nameplate has lasted — and whether its blend of comfort and character suits you.

Top tips and things to know before renting a IS
Get to know your IS
A little prep goes a long way: pack for a compact trunk, plan for premium fuel, and check pricing for your dates.
The IS seats five, but its trunk holds 10.8 cu ft, so pack smart. Soft duffels beat hard-shell suitcases, and the 60/40-split folding rear seats open up room for longer items when you have fewer passengers.
Weighing alternatives? A Toyota Camry rental gives you a familiar midsize sedan, while a Tesla Model 3 rental swaps gas for electric power. To keep things upscale, browse luxury and exotic rentals for more premium options.
IS driving tips
Fill up with premium gasoline — the IS calls for it, and the 17.4-gal tank gives you solid range between gas station stops. Visiting during snowy months? Look for AWD listings for extra traction.
On chilly mornings, the standard heated front seats take the edge off before the cabin warms up. If you're renting an older model year, check the listing for its exact features.
How much does it cost to rent a IS?
The price depends on the listing. Local vehicle owners set their own rates, so cost varies by location, dates, and trip length.
Check current IS listings on Turo for up-to-date prices. Planning a longer stay? A long-term car rental can make more sense than a lease when you need a car for weeks or months without a multiyear commitment.

* 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. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. 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.
