Modern adventures, retro vibes
Drive a Volkswagen ID Buzz
A Volkswagen ID Buzz rental is a fun ride for adventurers who want a vehicle that harmoniously marries retro vibes and modern EV tech. They’ve kept all the good bits of the nostalgic Microbus — think bold colors and that iconic retro shape — but with updates in all the right places to suit an eco-driven, modern world.
Don't forget it's highly practical, too. Its spacious interior easily accommodates group travel or weekend escapes that require piling in bulky gear. Slide open the doors, feel the roomy vibe, and glide away — this van shines for fun, quirky crews that want a memorable trip and driving experience.

One icon inspires the next
The Volkswagen ID Buzz is the reincarnation of the legendary Microbus we've all been waiting for. But it's so much more than a remake — you’re behind the wheel of an icon for the future. Fusing the Microbus’ bold, free-spirited charm with all-electric power, it's paving the way for eco-friendly travel that's equally stylish.
Space for all adventures
Loading up for a getaway is simple in your ID Buzz rental. Its generous interior is perfect for piling in big groups or bulky gear. The sliding doors also make for easy entries and exits. Whether it’s a family outing at the beach or a cross-country road trip, you’ll find plenty of roominess with every interior inch maximized for comfort and convenience.
Zippy, earth-friendly electric tech
Don’t let the retro shell fool you — the ID Buzz performs when it matters. The single-motor version delivers 282 hp, while the dual-motor all-wheel-drive version delivers 335 hp and reaches 60 mph in under six seconds. Instant torque has you zipping around town on a smooth, quiet ride. With DC fast charging capabilities, you'll spend less time at the charger and more time making memories — a standout among electric vehicle rentals on Turo.
A road trip icon, reimagined
With a style that pays homage to its Microbus predecessor and an interior that's packed with modern connected features, the ID Buzz is a future classic in the making. As an all-electric minivan with few rivals, it's a playful alternative to a Toyota Sienna rental or Honda Odyssey rental. Its tech-packed, spacious cabin sets the scene for building unforgettable memories. One day, you'll look back, reminiscing about this quirky electric vehicle that played a central role in your adventure.
Top ID Buzz features
Bold, retro styling
The ID Buzz delivers on nostalgia with the instantly recognizable two-toned retro paint scheme of the classic Microbus. But it also fuses futuristic touches into its style (like its sleek LED headlight strip stretching across the front). This is the perfect travel companion to add a touch of playful, bold vibes to your adventure.
Tech to keep you safe and connected
Look inside, and you'll find a suite of modern tech designed to make your journey safer, entertaining, and comfortable. This includes a 12.9” touchscreen center display with wireless connection for all your apps, wireless charging and up to eight USB-C ports so your devices are always powered up, and driver assistance as a trusted co-pilot.
Spacious, flexible interior
Forget overpacking stress — the ID Buzz has you covered with adjustable seating for up to seven and a removable third row for added flexibility. With generous cargo space, you don’t have to overthink what to bring. So go ahead and load up for that surf trip, group road trip, or weekend camping escape.

Top tips and things to know before renting a ID Buzz
Plan ahead for charging
Map out your charging stops before you set off, and return your ID Buzz with the same battery level it had at pickup. If you don't, the local vehicle owner can invoice you a recharging fee of $5–$25 based on the battery difference, plus a $10 inconvenience fee — and a $20 low-battery fee applies if you return it below 20%. Snap photos of the battery gauge at pickup and drop-off (they're your best record if questions come up).
