Lexus CT car rental that stretches every gallon
Drive a CT
A Lexus CT rental puts you behind the wheel of a compact luxury hybrid hatchback that returns 42 combined mpg. The CT 200h sold in the US for the 2011–2017 model years, so every one you'll find is a modern classic. Start your search with Lexus rental on Turo, then narrow it to the CT.
On Turo, you book your CT from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. Pick your dates, compare listings, and claim five seats and a hatch ready for whatever's next.

Hybrid efficiency in a luxury wrapper
The CT's biggest strength is efficiency: 43 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway. Its 11.9-gallon tank takes regular fuel, so you skip premium prices at the pump (a welcome twist for a luxury badge).
Hatchback versatility
The CT seats five and gives you 14.3 cubic feet of cargo space under its rear hatch. That's room for carry-on bags, a grocery haul, or gear for a day trip. Lift the hatch, slide your bags in, and you're set.
Its compact size pays off in town, too. A 34.2-foot turning circle helps you swing into tight parallel spots and wind through crowded parking garages with fewer back-and-forth corrections. If your plans mix city errands with longer drives, the CT keeps both easy — no wrestling a big car through narrow streets.
Composed handling
The CT rides on MacPherson struts up front and a double wishbone setup in the rear. That pairing gives this small hatchback a composed, settled feel, whether you're merging onto the freeway or rolling through a quiet neighborhood. Front-wheel drive keeps its responses predictable and its manners easygoing.
Want a sportier edge? Some CT listings on Turo include the F Sport trim, so check the listing details if that's on your wish list. Either way, you get a compact luxury car that's easy to place in a lane and simple to settle into.
Stand out with a CT
The CT is a smart pick for city trips, daily commuting, and fuel-conscious road trips for up to five people. You get luxury-brand comfort, 42 combined mpg, and a hatch for weekend bags, all in a size that's easy to park. If you want a Lexus CT car rental that treats you well without draining your budget at every gas station, this is your match.
Top CT features
Spindle grille styling
The CT's standout features are its spindle grille, its hybrid powertrain, and its status as a discontinued modern classic.
The CT's 2014 refresh added the brand's signature spindle grille, so 2014–2017 models wear that bold, instantly recognizable face. It gives this compact hatchback a presence that punches above its size. That front end looks right at home outside a downtown hotel.
Prefer one look over the other? Check the model year on the listing before you book, since 2011–2013 cars carry the earlier front end. It's an easy way to choose the CT that matches your taste, whether you're drawn to the sharper, newer styling or the original's softer lines.
Hybrid lineage under the hood
Under the hood, the CT pairs a 1.8L four-cylinder gas engine with electric power, sending it through a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The hybrid system makes 134 hp and 105 lb-ft of torque, tuned for efficiency over drama.
The CVT means there are no gear shifts to feel — just smooth, steady acceleration, with 0-60 mph arriving in 9.8 seconds. Top speed is 113 mph, though the number you'll notice most is 42 combined mpg. It's a relaxed, refined way to cover serious ground on a little fuel.
Modern-classic collectibility
The CT's final US model year was 2017, which makes every one on the road a piece of recent luxury history. The CT 200h had a seven-year US run, spanning the 2011–2017 model years, and then it was gone.
Booking one on Turo gives you a rare chance to drive a discontinued luxury hatchback without committing to owning one. It suits you if you're curious about the CT, nostalgic for one you owned, or craving a break from the usual compact sedan. Think of it as a modern classic you can actually use every day.

Top tips and things to know before renting a CT
Get to know your CT
Before you book, compare the CT with its siblings, learn a few hybrid driving habits, and check how pricing works on Turo.
The CT is a compact hybrid hatchback, and that shape sets it apart from its siblings. Prefer a traditional sedan profile? Consider the refined Lexus ES sedan or, for a more spirited drive, the sporty Lexus IS sedan.
Traveling with a crew or extra luggage? The spacious Lexus RX SUV gives everyone more room to spread out. Choose the CT when efficiency, easy parking, and hatchback flexibility top your list.
CT driving tips
Don't be surprised by how quiet the CT is at start-up — that hush is normal for a hybrid. Ease into the throttle to get the best mpg, since smooth starts and steady speeds help you get closer to the 42 combined mpg rating.
When it's time to refuel, regular fuel is all the CT needs. The 11.9-gallon tank goes a long way, but plan your fill-ups on longer road trips so you're never hunting for a gas station.
How much does it cost to rent a CT?
Lexus CT prices on Turo vary by location, dates, and vehicle year. Example Turo listings have shown rates of $45/day and $68/day.
Planning a longer stay? Longer trips can unlock discounts, so explore long-term car rental if you need a CT for weeks or months.

* 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.
