Drive a 124 Spider
A Fiat 124 Spider car rental puts you behind the wheel of a two-seat, rear-wheel-drive roadster with a 1.4L turbo and a manual-folding soft top. It's a Fiat rental with real personality — light, nimble, and happiest with the sky overhead.
On Turo, you book your 124 Spider from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. Fiat stopped building the car after the 2020 model year, so rental cars on Turo are an easy way to try one.

Turbocharged power sent to the rear wheels
The 124 Spider runs on a 1.4L MultiAir turbo four-cylinder that sends 184 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. You pick a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic, depending on the listing. Fiat used this engine in a rear-wheel-drive vehicle for the first time here — trivia worth sharing with your passenger.
Open-air driving with a manual soft top
The 124 Spider's soft top folds by hand, so dropping it takes a quick reach and a push — no motors, no waiting. That simplicity keeps the car light and puts you in charge of when the sky opens up. Park, unlatch, fold, and you're off.
Open-air driving changes how a trip feels. You catch the salt of the coast, the warmth of the afternoon sun, and the full voice of the turbo four. When the weather turns, raise the top and you're snug and sheltered again.
Abarth: the sharpest 124 Spider trim
Abarth is the performance trim of the 124 Spider, with 164 hp versus 160 hp in the Classica and Lusso. It adds Bilstein sport suspension and a mechanical limited-slip differential, so you carve corners with extra confidence. Torque stays at 184 lb-ft across trims, so the difference comes down to sharper hardware and a louder voice.
That voice comes from the Record Monza exhaust, which gives Abarth its signature bark. Some cars also carry the available Brembo brakes for stronger stopping. Want the most driver-focused 124 Spider? Look for Abarth in the listing title or details.
Stand out with a 124 Spider
The 124 Spider suits couples and anyone planning a drive worth remembering. Picture scenic coastal roads, winding canyon routes, anniversaries, and weekend escapes for two. Love the open-top idea but want more choices? Compare convertible rentals on Turo near you.
Top 124 Spider features
Pininfarina heritage
Three things set the 124 Spider apart: Pininfarina heritage, fuel efficiency, and cabin tech.
The 124 Spider's name and styling details recall the 1966 124 Sport Spider, a Pininfarina design. That lineage gives the modern roadster a story worth telling at every stop. You're driving a car with Italian design roots that stretch back more than half a century.
Fiat sold the 124 Spider in the US for only four model years, 2017–2020. That short run adds to its modern-classic, collectible appeal (think conversation starter, not stock portfolio). Book one for the joy of driving a short-lived Italian roadster with a real backstory.
Fuel efficiency
The 124 Spider stays easy on gas for a sports car. EPA ratings land at 26 city/35 hwy/30 combined mpg with the manual and 25/36/29 with the automatic.
That means longer stretches between gas stations on a coastal day trip — and more budget left for dinner. The automatic edges ahead on the highway by one mpg. The manual wins by one mpg around town and in combined driving, so pick whichever suits your route and your left foot.
Cabin tech
The 124 Spider keeps tech simple with FIAT Connect 7.0 and a seven-inch touchscreen. It puts audio and key controls on one central screen, so you spend less time hunting for buttons and more time watching the road.
Music lovers should look for the available Bose nine-speaker audio system. Since it's optional, check the listing details if sound quality matters to you. With the top down and your playlist rolling, the cabin feels like a front-row seat to your own soundtrack.
Top tips and things to know before renting a 124 Spider
Get to know your 124 Spider
Here's what to know about trims, driving, and cost before you book a 124 Spider.
The 124 Spider came in three US trims: Classica, Lusso, and Abarth. Classica and Lusso make 160 hp, while Abarth makes 164 hp and adds sport hardware. US model years run 2017–2020, and Fiat confirmed in December 2020 that the car ended after the 2020 model year.
So, is it just a Miata? Not quite. Mazda built the 124 Spider in Hiroshima, Japan, alongside the MX-5 Miata, and the two share a platform.
The 124 Spider has its own Fiat turbo engine and its own styling, so it looks and feels distinct. Curious about its sibling? Browse Mazda car rentals, or explore other Fiat models to stay in the family.
124 Spider driving tips
A few quick habits make your 124 Spider trip smoother:
Pack light: the trunk holds 4.9 cu ft, so soft bags fit better than hard suitcases.
Check the transmission: the listing tells you whether the car has the manual or the automatic.
Fold the top by hand: park first, then unlatch and fold the soft top yourself.
Ease in on wet roads: rear-wheel drive rewards smooth throttle and gentle steering in the rain.
How much does it cost to rent a 124 Spider?
The cost to rent a 124 Spider on Turo varies by location, dates, and trim. Check listings near you for current daily prices, and compare a few to find your fit.
Planning a longer trip? Some local vehicle owners offer discounts on longer bookings. A long-term car rental can make sense if you want the roadster for a month or more.

* 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.
