A legend, rebuilt for the road ahead
Drive a Defender
Yes, the Defender is a full-size luxury SUV — and its story starts in 1948. The current generation arrived in 2020 with unibody construction and fully independent suspension, so the ride feels quiet and refined. If you're browsing any Land Rover rental, this is the one with the deepest roots.
On Turo, you book your Defender from a local vehicle owner. Pick the two-door 90, the four-door 110, or the extended-wheelbase 130. Then arrange pickup or delivery that fits your plans — some local vehicle owners deliver to places like airports.

Smooth, effortless six-cylinder power
The Defender's 3.0L inline-six mild hybrid makes 395 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque, so merging and passing feel easy. It pairs with an eight-speed automatic, and all-wheel drive comes standard. The lineup ranges from a 296-hp turbo four up to the 626-hp OCTA V8 — so the listing you pick sets the pace.
A cabin built for comfort
The Defender treats every passenger to a cabin that feels as premium as it looks. On the 110 X, the Turo blog highlights 14-way heated and cooled seats — warm on winter mornings, cool on summer afternoons. Windsor leather and premium finishes wrap the interior, so the cabin feels polished from the first mile to the last.
Look up and you'll see why the cabin feels so open. Alpine windows and a panoramic roof nod to the original Defender and flood the space with daylight. Your passengers get a view that makes long drives more enjoyable. Features vary by trim, so check the listing before you book.
Space for your crew and their cargo
The Defender gives you room to pack for the whole trip. The 110 offers up to 78.8 cu ft of cargo space, and the 130 stretches that to 89 cu ft. That's plenty of space for suitcases, strollers, ski bags, and the extra layers your group swears it needs.
Three rows are available, so you can bring more people without squeezing anyone. The 130 seats up to eight, which makes it a smart pick for family vacations and group getaways. Choose your body style based on how many people you're bringing and how much luggage comes along. Then load up and go.
Stand out with a Defender
The Defender fits nearly any trip that calls for space, comfort, and presence. Take it on a coastal road trip, a family vacation, or a ski-season getaway on paved mountain roads. It also makes a memorable arrival for weddings, anniversaries, and other special occasions. Its iconic shape and roomy cabin make it easy to spot in a crowd.

Top Defender features
A design lineage that dates to 1948
Three things set the Defender apart: its design lineage, its tech and sound, and its three body styles.
The Defender carries one of the longest stories on the road. It began in 1948 as the first British civilian 4×4, and that heritage still shapes how it looks today. After a 23-year break, the Defender returned to the US for 2020 with a fresh design and a more refined ride.
You'll spot it right away. The upright silhouette, sharp lines, and circular headlights give it a look that's instantly recognizable in any parking lot. It reads as both classic and modern — a rare mix that turns heads at a hotel valet stand or a downtown curb. Behind the wheel, you get that history with modern manners.
Tech and sound that keep you connected
The Defender pairs its classic shape with modern tech that makes every drive easier. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto let you pull up maps, calls, and playlists without plugging in. That means fewer cables and less fumbling at red lights.
Parking a full-size SUV gets simpler with the 360-degree camera, which gives you a clear view all around the vehicle. And when the playlist kicks in, the 14-speaker Meridian sound system fills the cabin with rich, detailed audio. It turns a long highway stretch into a private concert for you and your passengers. Tech varies by trim, so check the listing for the exact setup before you book.
Three body styles to fit your group
The Defender comes in three body styles, so you can match the vehicle to your trip. The two-door 90 is the most compact of the three. It's a great pick for couples or solo travelers who want the Defender look in a smaller package.
The four-door 110 balances passenger space and cargo room, with seating for up to seven. It's a strong fit for families and small groups. The extended-wheelbase 130 is the largest, with seating for up to eight and up to 89 cu ft of cargo space. If you're traveling with a big group, the 130 keeps everyone together in one vehicle. Check the listing to confirm which body style you're booking.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Defender
Get to know your Defender
A few quick checks before you book will help you get the most from your Defender. Start with the right body style, then plan for its size and fuel needs.
Choose a body style based on your group: the compact two-door 90, the 110 for up to seven, and the 130 for up to eight. Then check the listing for the features that matter most to you, like heated and cooled seats or the Meridian sound system. If you'd like a plusher alternative, browse a Land Rover Range Rover rental instead.
Defender driving tips
The Defender stands tall — about 6.5 ft, per the Turo blog — so check the clearance before you pull into a parking garage. Use the 360-degree camera when you park, especially in tight city spots. Plan for premium gas, too. The most efficient trim gets about 20 mpg combined, so budget for fuel stops on longer drives. Off-roading is not permitted on Turo.
How much does it cost to rent a Defender?
The price of a Defender rental varies by location, dates, trim, and local vehicle owner. Each local vehicle owner sets their own price, so compare listings in your area. Duration discounts apply to three-day, weekly, and monthly trips, which makes a longer booking a smart move. If you need a vehicle for a month or more, explore long-term car rental options on Turo.
