A sharp compact sedan with rally-bred roots
Drive a Lancer
The Mitsubishi Lancer is a compact five-seat sedan sold in the US through the 2017 model year — a modern classic today. Book a Mitsubishi Lancer car rental for sporty character in a practical package, or compare it with another Mitsubishi rental.
On Turo, you book your Lancer from a local vehicle owner in the Turo app. You'll arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans, whether that's a weekend escape or a workweek commute.

Spirited, eager 2.4L performance
The Lancer's 2.4L MIVEC four-cylinder makes 168 hp and 167 lb-ft of torque, so it pulls with real enthusiasm onto the highway. The base 2.0L engine makes 148 hp, and the ES also offered a five-speed manual for drivers who like to shift for themselves.
All Wheel Control for all-weather confidence
All Wheel Control (AWC) comes on the ES AWC, SE, and SEL trims, paired with the 2.4L engine and a CVT. It's an all-wheel-drive setup that keeps you composed on pavement when the forecast turns to rain or cold.
That makes an AWC Lancer a smart pick for a rainy-season getaway, a winter visit to family, or a daily commute when temperatures drop. The ES 2.0 drives the front wheels only (FWD) — a simple, efficient choice for dry-weather city driving. Check the listing to see which drivetrain your Lancer has before you book, especially if your trip calendar includes wet or chilly days.
Practical space for five
The Lancer seats five, and its 12.3 cu ft trunk swallows carry-ons, groceries, or a weekend's worth of bags. Lancers with the Rockford Fosgate subwoofer give up a little room, at 11.8 cu ft.
At 182.1 inches long with a 103.7-inch wheelbase, it's roomy enough for friends in the back yet compact enough for tight city parking. You get real sedan practicality without steering a big vehicle through crowded neighborhoods. That's handy when your plans mix airport runs, downtown parking garages, and dinner across town.
Stand out with a Lancer
The Lancer is a nostalgic, enthusiast-favorite sedan that fits city trips, daily commutes, and weekend drives. It's efficient too — up to 34 mpg hwy with the 2.0L CVT and 30 mpg hwy with the 2.4L. Its compact size makes parking easy. Browse car rentals across the US to find a Lancer near your next destination.
Top Lancer features
Five decades of heritage
The Lancer carries more than five decades of history. The first Lancer launched in February 1973, and 2017 was the Lancer's final US model year, with production ending in August 2017. The nameplate carried on in Taiwan until 2024, closing out a 51-year run.
The Lancer's rally-bred lineage ended after the 2015 model year, but that spirit still shows in the sedan's sharp styling and eager 2.4L engine. Renting one today puts you behind the wheel of a modern classic — a car you won't find on any new-car lot.
Rockford Fosgate sound
Every 2017 Lancer comes with standard 6.1-inch touch-panel display audio rated at 140 watts. Lancers with the optional Sun and Sound package step up to a 710-watt Rockford Fosgate premium audio system.
That setup uses nine speakers, including a 10-inch subwoofer, to fill the cabin with rich, punchy sound. It's a treat on long highway stretches or when you're queuing up a road trip playlist with friends. If audio matters to you, check the listing's features for the Rockford Fosgate system before you book your trip.
Everyday tech that helps
The Lancer covers the practical tech you'll use on every drive. A rearview camera comes standard on all 2017 trims, so tight parking spots and busy driveways feel easier to handle.
The FUSE Hands-free Link System lets you take calls without reaching for your phone, and a USB port gives you a place to plug in. Some Lancers also add the optional navigation package with a seven-inch touchscreen, available on every trim. Features vary by listing, so check the details to see exactly what your Lancer includes.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Lancer
Get to know your Lancer
When you rent a Mitsubishi Lancer, check the listing for engine, transmission, and features before you book. The 2017 lineup included the ES, ES AWC, SE, and SEL trims. You'll find a 2.0L FWD setup (manual or CVT) or a 2.4L AWC setup (CVT).
Because the Lancer is a discontinued model, it pays to widen your search. Explore classic car rentals on Turo or browse other Mitsubishi models on Turo for more options.
Lancer driving tips
Know your transmission before you go. If your Lancer has the five-speed manual, make sure you're comfortable driving stick, and expect the CVT to feel smooth, with no distinct shift points.
Mileage limits vary by car, so check "Distance included" on the vehicle page before you plan a long drive.
How much does it cost to rent a Lancer?
The cost to rent a Lancer varies by year, trim, location, and trip length, and each listing has its own price. Discounts apply on trips of seven or more, 14 or more, and 30 or more days. If you need a car for a month or longer, explore long-term car rental options.

* 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.
