A luxury sedan with quiet confidence
Drive a Genesis
The Genesis is a five-seat luxury sedan built on a rear-drive platform, with your choice of a V6 or V8 under its long hood. Browse Hyundai car rental options on Turo to book the exact Genesis you want from a local vehicle owner. That includes the 2016 model — the final year of production.
Booking takes just a few taps. Pick your dates, choose pickup or delivery where it's offered, and book in the Turo app.

Smooth V6 and V8 power
Every Genesis pairs a smooth engine with an eight-speed automatic, and rear-wheel drive comes standard. The 3.8L V6 makes 311 hp and 293 lb-ft of torque, while the 5.0L V8 delivers 420 hp and 383 lb-ft. Either way, you've got plenty of muscle for confident highway merges.
Head-up display that keeps eyes forward
The available full-color head-up display keeps your speed, the speed limit, and your next turn in your line of sight. You can follow turn-by-turn directions without glancing down at the dash or reaching for your phone.
It also shows blind-spot and lane alerts, which helps when you're merging through unfamiliar interchanges or threading traffic in a new city. On a work trip or a weekend away, it's a small detail that makes strange roads feel familiar fast. The head-up display came with select packages, so check the listing to confirm the Genesis you're eyeing has it.
Concert-hall Lexicon sound
Available Lexicon audio turns the cabin into a private listening room. Depending on the package, you'll get 14 speakers or 17-speaker Lexicon surround sound — enough to make a favorite playlist feel live.
An available 9.2-inch HD navigation screen sits front and center, so maps and music stay easy to read at a glance. Queue up a road-trip mix, set your route, and let the miles melt away. If sound matters to you, check the listing's features before you book to see which audio setup that car has.
Stand out with a Genesis
The Genesis brings understated luxury to any trip, with a long hood, a 118.5-inch wheelbase, and 123 cu ft of interior volume. It's a polished pick for business trips, client airport pickups, weddings and formal events, and comfortable road trips for up to five. Want to compare it with other premium rides?

Top Genesis features
Available HTRAC all-wheel drive
HTRAC all-wheel drive, available on the 3.8L V6, adds grip when the weather turns. It's a rear-biased system — often described as a 60/40 rear-biased split — so the Genesis keeps the balanced feel of a rear-drive sedan.
That extra traction earns its keep on rain-slicked highways and winter roads. Picture a late flight into a chilly city, a wet drive downtown, and a sedan that stays calm and composed the whole way. If you're traveling somewhere with unpredictable weather, look for "HTRAC" or "AWD" in the listing before you book. Rear-wheel-drive versions still suit sunny-climate trips just fine.
A full driver-assist suite
The Genesis offers a full driver-assist suite that watches the road with you. Blind-spot detection with rear cross-traffic alert helps you change lanes and back out of tight parking spots. Lane departure warning with lane keep assist nudges you back toward center if you start to drift.
Automatic emergency braking stands by in stop-and-go traffic, and Smart Cruise Control eases the work of long highway stretches. Together, they take some of the strain out of driving in a city you don't know yet. Equipment varies from car to car, so check the listing for the features you want.
The winged badge and its legacy
Look at the front of the car, and you'll spot a winged Genesis emblem where you might expect the automaker's usual logo. It's a subtle signal that this sedan plays in a different league than the everyday lineup.
The name has history, too. The automaker used the Genesis name on earlier vehicles before launching Genesis as a standalone luxury brand in 2015. Book this sedan, and you're driving part of that story. The badge earns a second look at valet stands, hotel entrances, and wedding venues.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Genesis
Get to know your Genesis
Start with the listing — it tells you the trim (3.8 or 5.0) and the drivetrain (rear-wheel drive or HTRAC all-wheel drive). Those two details decide your power and all-weather grip.
The Smart Trunk opens hands-free when you stand near it with the key for about three seconds — handy when your arms are full. Inside, you'll find 15.3 cu ft of trunk space. Want a newer luxury badge? Explore Genesis luxury car rentals, try a Genesis GV80 SUV rental for SUV space, or go electric with a Hyundai Ioniq 5 rental.
Genesis driving tips
Check the listing for the right fuel type before you fill up. The V8 recommends premium unleaded, while the V6 runs on regular.
The 20.3-gallon tank covers long highway stretches between gas stations. Want sharper throttle response? Switch to Sport mode and enjoy the extra snap. Just save the racetrack fantasies for another day — excessive speeding and racing are not permitted.
How much does it cost to rent a Genesis?
The cost to rent a Genesis depends on your location, dates, trip length, and the local vehicle owner's settings. Every listing shows the daily price and trip total before you book.
Trip-duration discounts can apply for three-day, one-week, two-week, three-week, and monthly trips. Planning a stay of a month or more? Look into a long-term car rental.

What documents do you need to rent a Genesis on Turo?
You need a valid physical driver's license — photocopies don't count. You'll upload photos of it or present it at pickup. At checkout, you'll also need your name, email, a phone number that accepts texts, and a payment method.
What type of license do you need to rent a Genesis?
A permanent, valid US license or a valid license from your home country works. Temporary or interim licenses also work if they're valid for your whole Genesis trip. If yours has no photo, bring a government photo ID too. Turo doesn't accept learner's permits, photocopies, or an International Driving Permit used in place of a license.
How old do you need to be to rent a Genesis?
It depends on the vehicle's class. Guests 18+ can book standard vehicles, 21+ can book vehicles with a total market value over $20,000, and 25+ can book Deluxe Class vehicles. Drivers 18–24 pay a young driver fee, so check the Genesis listing for its specific age requirement.

No. You don't need to provide your own insurance to book a Genesis on Turo.
Are there discounts on Genesis rentals?
Yes. Trip-duration discounts can apply to Genesis rentals for three-day, one-week, two-week, three-week, and monthly trips. You can also save 10% with a non-refundable discount when you book four or more days in advance.
Can you rent a Genesis long term?
Yes. You can book a Genesis for monthly trips of 30 days or more. For trips longer than 30 days, Pay as you go billing charges you in 30-day increments.

* 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.
