Fiat 500 car rental with pocket-size Italian charm
Drive a 500
A Fiat 500 car rental puts a modern take on the 1957 original in your hands, sized at 139.6 inches long for city streets. With a Fiat rental on Turo, you book your 500 from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup that fits your plans.
Fiat ended US production of the gas 500 after the 2019 model year, which makes it a modern classic. Renting one on Turo gives you a way to drive this little icon today.

City-sized agility for tight streets
The 500 makes tight city driving the easy part of your trip. At 139.6 inches long, with a 30.6-foot turning circle and front-wheel drive, it handles U-turns with ease and tucks into tight parallel parking spots.
Turbocharged pep and real-world efficiency
Every 2019 Fiat 500 came standard with a 1.4L MultiAir turbo, so you get 135 hp and 150 lb-ft of torque. That's lively output for a car that weighs just 2,366 lbs, and you'll feel it when you pull away from a stoplight.
Efficiency keeps pace with the fun. The manual Pop earns 28 city/33 hwy mpg (30 combined), and the 10.5-gallon tank keeps refills small. Premium unleaded is the recommended fuel, so plan for it when you stop at the gas station — a small trade for a turbo that keeps the 500 feeling quick in traffic.
A cabin that punches above its size
The 500 seats four and carries more than its footprint suggests. You get 9.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. Fold them down, and you open up 30.2 cubic feet for luggage, shopping bags, or a weekend's worth of gear.
Lounge models add comforts that make a short car feel special: heated front seats, leather upholstery, Beats audio, automatic climate control, and navigation. Features vary by listing, so check the details before you book and pick the 500 that matches how you like to travel.
Stand out with a 500
A 500 gets noticed wherever you park it. Its retro Italian design turns heads, and its size suits city breaks, couples' getaways, and errands in dense neighborhoods. If you're weighing a few small cars, browse more compact car rental options on Turo.
Top 500 features
Heritage that dates to 1957
Three things set the 500 apart: heritage that dates to 1957, open-air fun in the 500c, and retro details that make it a modern classic.
The 500 name goes back to 1957, when Fiat launched the original. It stayed in production until 1975, and 3.89 million found owners along the way — a remarkable run for a car this small.
Fiat revived the 500 in 2007 with a modern design that echoes the original, then brought it to the US in 2011. That gives the car you're booking a direct line back to the 1957 design. When you slide behind the wheel, you're steering nearly seven decades of history through today's streets.
Open-air fun in the 500c
The 500c keeps the same compact footprint and adds a cloth roof that slides back, letting sunshine and fresh air into the cabin. It's an easy way to turn a cross-town errand into a breezy cruise, and you still get the 500's tight turning circle for parking.
Availability depends on the listing, so check the body style before you book. Some local vehicle owners list the hatchback, while others list the 500c. If open-air driving is your priority, you can also browse options for a convertible rental near you on Turo.
A modern classic with retro details
The 2019 model year was the last for the gas 500 in the US, which gives every rental a dose of modern-classic appeal. For 2019, Fiat also brought back the 1957 Edition appearance package, a retro look named for the original.
The vintage style sits alongside modern tech. The 500 offers an available 5-inch touchscreen with available navigation, and an available digital driver display joined the lineup in 2016. Check the listing to see which setup your 500 has, and you'll know what to expect before you pick it up.

Top tips and things to know before renting a 500
Get to know your 500
A little prep goes a long way with a 500: check the transmission, plan for premium fuel, and pack light.
Check the listing for two details before you book: transmission and body style. The 500 came with a five-speed manual as standard, and a six-speed automatic was available. Only book a manual if you're an expert with clutches.
Body style matters, too. Choose the hatchback for everyday practicality or the 500c for its sliding cloth roof.
Weighing other small cars? A MINI Cooper rental is another compact option, or you can browse every Fiat model on Turo.
500 driving tips
Plan around fuel and space, and the 500 rewards you in the city. Premium unleaded is recommended, so check the listing for fuel guidance. The 10.5-gallon tank means you'll want to plan fuel stops on longer drives.
Pack light, since you get 9.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. Fold the rear seats down when you need more room. In parking garages, the tight turning circle makes snug spots easier to claim.
How much does it cost to rent a 500?
Recent Fiat 500 listings on Turo started around $39/day, and prices vary by location, dates, and vehicle. Trip-duration discounts start at three days and go up to monthly trips.
You can also save 10% when you book a non-refundable trip four or more days ahead. Staying a month or more? Look into long-term car rental on Turo.

* 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.
