A frugal, feature-rich sedan for everyday miles
Drive a Forte
A Kia Forte rental puts you in a compact five-seat sedan that averages 34 mpg combined, with front-wheel drive and plenty of standard tech. Its final model year was 2024, and you can compare it with other models through Kia rentals on Turo.
On Turo, you book your Forte from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. Pick your dates, compare listings, and you're set.

Efficient power with a turbocharged twist
The base 2.0L engine makes 147 hp and 132 lb-ft, earning 30 city and 41 highway mpg on the LX. You'll fill its 14-gallon tank with regular unleaded, or you can step up to the GT's 1.6L turbo with 201 hp and 195 lb-ft. The GT also offers a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic or six-speed manual, plus sport-tuned suspension and 18-inch wheels.
Connected from the first mile
The 2024 Forte comes standard with an eight-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Your phone links up without a cable, so your maps, playlists, and podcasts land on the dash while your phone stays in your pocket. That's one less cord to untangle before you pull away from the curb.
Upper trims offer an optional 10.25-inch screen, which gives navigation more room on unfamiliar streets. It's a nice upgrade when you're finding your way around a new city or following turn-by-turn directions to a dinner reservation. If a bigger display matters to you, check the listing's trim and features before you book.
Driver assists on every trim
Every 2024 Forte trim includes the same standard driver-assist suite, whether you book an LX or a GT. You get Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keeping Assist, and Lane Following Assist. Driver Attention Warning and High Beam Assist round out the set.
That's a lot of help for a compact sedan, and you don't need to hunt for a top trim to get it. It's reassuring tech to have on a late drive back from the airport or a long day of highway miles. You pick the trim that fits your budget — the core safety features come along either way.
Stand out with a Forte
The Forte suits commuters, city trips, budget-minded travelers, and long highway drives — anywhere efficiency and comfort matter more than flash. It's an easy pick for daily errands in a new city or a weekend run between states. Explore more car rentals across the US to match the right ride to every trip.
Top Forte features
A trunk that punches above its class
Three things set the Forte apart: a roomy trunk, four distinct trims, and its place as the last of the line.
The Forte gives you 15.3 cubic feet of trunk space and seats for five, so your bags and your crew travel together. That's room for suitcases, sports gear, or a big grocery haul — whatever the trip calls for.
At 182.7 inches long, it still slips into tight street spots and crowded parking garages. You get practical storage in a footprint that's easy to park, which counts for a lot when you're circling a busy downtown block. It's everyday versatility you'll notice on every errand and every airport run.
Four trims, four personalities
The Forte came in four trims — LX, LXS, GT-Line, and GT — and each one suits a different kind of trip. The LX and LXS keep things simple and efficient, ideal when you want an easy, budget-friendly drive.
The GT-Line adds dual-zone automatic climate control, so you and your front passenger can each set your own temperature. It also brings a Smart Key with push-button start, letting you leave the key in your pocket or bag. The GT tops the lineup with the turbocharged engine for drivers who want more spirit, so check the listing to see which trim you're booking.
The final chapter of a fan favorite
The 2024 Forte closed out the fourth generation, which ran 2019–2024. The GT trim joined the lineup in 2020, and wireless phone mirroring arrived in 2022. After the 2024 model year, the Forte bowed out and its successor took over.
That makes every Forte rental a chance to drive the last of a well-loved line. If you've owned one, it'll feel like catching up with an old friend. If you haven't, a few days behind the wheel will tell you more than any spec sheet.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Forte
Get to know your Forte
A little prep goes a long way with the Forte — know its drivetrain, its fuel needs, and what shapes the price before you book.
The Forte is front-wheel drive, and most trims use a CVT automatic. The GT came with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic or a six-speed manual, so check the listing if you have a preference. Fill the 14-gallon tank with regular unleaded at any gas station.
If you want a roomier midsize sedan, try a Toyota Camry rental. For hybrid-level efficiency, a Toyota Prius rental is worth a look.
Forte driving tips
Steady cruising gets the most out of the Forte's 41 mpg highway rating on the LX. The base engine favors efficiency over quick launches — it runs 0–60 mph in 8.2 seconds — so give yourself extra room when you merge.
Use the lane-keeping assists as aids that support your own attention, and keep your hands on the wheel. Before you book, check the listing for trim and transmission so you know exactly what you're driving.
How much does it cost to rent a Forte?

* 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.
