Three rows of Mercedes-Benz luxury for the whole crew
Drive a GL-Class
The GL-Class was Mercedes-Benz's largest three-row, seven-passenger SUV series, and it pairs sedan-like comfort with a higher view of the road. If you want a Mercedes-Benz rental with room for seven, this is the one that fits everyone.
On Turo, you book your GL-Class from a local vehicle owner on the car rental marketplace, then choose pickup or delivery where it's offered. Since 2016 was the final US model year, GL-Class rentals on Turo are 2016 or earlier models, so check each listing for the year.

Twin-turbo V6 power that pulls like a V8
The GL450 4MATIC moves a full cabin with ease, thanks to a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 making 362 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. You get V8-like thrust without a V8's thirst (about 19 mpg combined). Mercedes-Benz estimates the sprint to 60 mph at 6.6 seconds — quick work for a seven-seater.
Room for seven and their luggage
Seven seats across three rows mean nobody gets stuck squeezed in the middle of a road trip. The third row folds under power, so you can switch from passengers to cargo without wrestling with levers.
Cargo space grows with your plans. You get 16.0 cu ft behind the third row for weekend bags or a grocery run. Fold that row and you'll have 49.4 cu ft, and the maximum reaches 93.8 cu ft for strollers, sports gear, and suitcases. That flexibility lets you plan the trip around your people, not your packing list.
All-weather comfort on every drive
Full-time 4MATIC all-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels all the time. That adds confidence on rain-slick highways, wintry city streets, and cold-morning commutes. A seven-speed automatic keeps power delivery smooth, whether you're merging onto the interstate or crawling through airport traffic.
The electronically controlled air suspension handles the rest. It smooths out rough patches of pavement and keeps the cabin calm, so second- and third-row passengers ride as comfortably as you do. On a long drive, that comfort shows up mile after mile.
Stand out with a GL-Class
The GL-Class shines whenever you're moving a group in comfort. Book one for family vacations, airport runs with a full load, group road trips, or weddings and events where everyone arrives together. It's also worth comparing against other full-size SUV rentals to find the right fit for your trip.
Top GL-Class features
Heritage of Mercedes' biggest SUV
Three things set the GL-Class apart: its heritage, its range of trims, and the comfort details inside the cabin.
The GL-Class was Mercedes-Benz's largest three-row, seven-passenger SUV series, built for drivers who wanted luxury without giving up seats. Mercedes gave it a major overhaul for 2015, and 2016 brought only minor changes before the line ended its US run.
After 2016, the nameplate continued as the GLS, which makes the GL-Class its direct predecessor. Final assembly took place in the United States, too, so this big Benz has homegrown roots. A 2015 or 2016 model gives you the updates from that final overhaul.
Four trims with distinct personalities
The GL-Class came in four trims, and each one pairs a seven-speed automatic with all-wheel drive. The GL350 BlueTEC runs a diesel V6 with 240 hp and 455 lb-ft of torque. The GL450 is the volume trim and the reference for the specs on this page.
The GL550 and GL63 AMG round out the lineup for drivers who want to step beyond the GL450. Trim availability varies by listing, so check the details before you book. That way, you'll know exactly which engine and character you're getting for your trip.
Comfort details that add up
The GL-Class rewards you with small touches that make a long day easier. A power tailgate opens and closes the cargo area for you, which helps when your arms are full of bags or a sleeping toddler.
A moonroof brings extra light into the cabin, so even the back rows feel open and airy. Heated front seats take the edge off cold mornings, and wood trim gives the interior a warm, classic Mercedes-Benz feel. Together, these details turn a family haul into a trip you'll actually enjoy.

Top tips and things to know before renting a GL-Class
Get to know your GL-Class
Before you book, confirm the year and trim, plan for the SUV's size, and review what the listing includes. Here's what to know.
Start with the listing and check the year and trim, so you know which engine and equipment you're getting. The GL-Class measures 201.6 inches long, which makes it a big SUV to park and maneuver.
Want a boxier Mercedes icon? Look at a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon rental. Need room for more passengers than seven? A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter rental gives bigger groups more space.
GL-Class driving tips
Fill up with premium unleaded fuel.
Leave extra room when parking, given the SUV's length.
Fold the power third row before you load cargo.
Check the distance included in the listing before long drives.
How much does it cost to rent a GL-Class?
The cost to rent a GL-Class depends on the listing, model year, trim, location, and trip dates. Trip-duration discounts can apply to three-day, one-week, and monthly trips. Booking four or more days ahead also earns a 10% non-refundable discount.

* 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.
