Everyday electric driving, made simple
Drive a Bolt EV
The Bolt EV is fully electric. A Chevrolet Bolt EV car rental puts you in a compact, five-seat hatchback with 259 miles of EPA range. It's an easy, efficient way into Chevrolet car rental on Turo — no gas stops required.
On Turo, you book your Bolt EV from a local vehicle owner. You choose the model year and trim — 1LT or 2LT — that fit your trip.

Instant, effortless electric torque
The Bolt EV's single front motor delivers 200 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque the moment you press the pedal. In city traffic, that means quick, quiet response when you merge, pass, or pull away from a light.
One-pedal driving and Regen on Demand
One-pedal driving lets you slow the Bolt EV by easing off the accelerator. Press the one-pedal mode button, and regenerative braking ramps up so you can slow down without touching the brake pedal. For more control, pull the Regen on Demand paddle on the steering wheel to add regenerative braking whenever you need it.
Each time you slow down, the motor recaptures energy for the battery — small gains that add up over a day. That's why it suits stop-and-go traffic so well. You ease off as traffic bunches up, then press again when it moves — no constant pedal switching.
A smart, connected cabin
The Bolt EV's cabin keeps your maps, music, and messages within easy reach. The 2023 model year features a 10.2-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Pair your phone and leave the cable in your bag.
Behind the wheel, an 8-inch digital driver display puts key driving info right in your line of sight. A built-in Wi-Fi hotspot gives passengers a way to stay connected on longer drives. And remote start lets you power up the car before you even climb in — handy when you're running late.
Stand out with a Bolt EV
The Bolt EV shines on city errands, daily commutes, and weekend trips — and it's a low-pressure way to try electric driving before you buy. With 120 MPGe combined efficiency, you'll skip gas stations entirely and spend more time where you're headed. Browse more electric vehicle rentals on Turo to compare options.
Top Bolt EV features
Range that covers real days
With 259 miles of EPA range, the Bolt EV handles a full day of driving on a single charge. That's enough for a morning commute, errands across town, and dinner plans, with miles left over.
On longer drives, a DC fast charger adds about 100 miles of range in 30 minutes — about enough time to grab a coffee. Plan one or two stops along your route, and a weekend trip can reach well beyond your first charge. The 65 kWh lithium-ion battery keeps the math simple: charge up, check your range, and go.
Compact outside, roomy inside
The Bolt EV is a five-door hatchback that's easy to park around town and roomier inside than its size suggests. Five seats give you space for friends or family. Behind the rear seats, 16.6 cu ft of cargo space holds groceries, carry-ons, or weekend bags.
Outside, the compact footprint makes tight parallel spots and crowded parking garages less stressful. The hatchback opening makes loading bulky items easier, too. It's a car that fits city life without asking you to give up everyday practicality.
Charging made flexible
Charging the Bolt EV works around your plans. A Level 2 (240V) charger takes you from empty to full in about 7.5 hours — ideal overnight if your lodging has one.
When you're short on time, DC fast charging adds range quickly in the middle of your day. You can pay with a debit or credit card at most charging stations, so topping up on the go stays simple. Mix both approaches: charge overnight when you can, then use a fast charger if your day runs long.

Great car and a very friendly host. Communication was easy and pleasant throughout the whole process. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend!
Excellent host and car! Great communication and easy to pickup/drop off. Loved the EV experience. Would rent again.
Joaquin is a wonderful host and this is a fun little car to zip around in. Traffic in LA is nuts lol but everything else was wonderful. Thank you Joaquin!
Joaquin’s 2021 Chevy Bolt is a fun and reliable car. He’s easy to coordinate with and responds promptly. 👍🏻
Gabriel was great from start to finish. The Bolt runs beautifully and handles well. In the city the battery power barely changes because of the cool regenerative feature. Would definitely rent again!
Top tips and things to know before renting a Bolt EV
Get to know your Bolt EV
Before you book, check the listing's model year and trim — 1LT or 2LT — since specs vary by year and trim. The 2023 model year features the 10.2-inch touchscreen, and some listings offer prepaid EV recharge, so review the Extras too.
Planning a different kind of trip? Look at a Chevrolet Tahoe rental or a Chevrolet Suburban rental when you need more space for a group. For a sports car weekend, there's Chevrolet Corvette rental on Turo, too.
Bolt EV driving tips
A little prep makes your first electric trip easy. Use these tips to get comfortable fast:
Plan DC fast-charging stops on longer drives.
Try one-pedal mode early, before you reach busy roads.
Photograph the battery gauge at pickup and return.
Return the Bolt EV with the same charge level it had at pickup.
Adjust your seat and mirrors and pair your phone before you leave.
How much does it cost to rent a Bolt EV?
The cost to rent a Bolt EV depends on the model year, trip length, Extras, and delivery. Book four or more days ahead, and you can take 10% off with a non-refundable trip.
Duration discounts kick in at three days, one week, and one month. Trips of 30 days or more have no trip fee — except in parts of Los Angeles and New York. If you need a car for a month or longer, explore long-term car rental on Turo.
Plan for the return charge, too: a 0–10% battery difference isn't charged. Beyond that, the local vehicle owner can invoice a recharging fee of $5–$25 plus a $10 inconvenience fee. Returning it below 20% adds a $20 low-battery fee.

* 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.
