Open-air grand touring, perfected by AMG
Drive a SL-Class
A Mercedes-Benz SL-Class rental puts you in a 2+2 roadster with a fabric soft top, seats for four, and engineering from Mercedes-AMG. It's the open-air pick among every Mercedes-Benz rental on Turo — sky overhead, two friends in the jump seats for short hops.
On Turo, you book your SL-Class from a local vehicle owner. You choose the trim that suits your trip: the SL 43, SL 55, or SL 63. Then you arrange pickup or delivery right in the Turo app.

Twin-turbo V8 thunder
The SL 55 and SL 63 both run a 4.0L twin-turbo V8. It makes 469 hp in the SL 55 and 577 hp with 590 lb-ft in the SL 63. AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive sends that power to all four wheels, and a nine-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT transmission keeps every shift quick.
A soft top that opens in about 15 seconds
The SL-Class trades a metal roof for a three-layer insulated fabric top that folds in a Z shape. It opens or closes in about 15 seconds at up to 37 mph — so a passing cloud never has to end your drive.
The fabric top also weighs nearly 50 lbs less than the folding hardtop on the previous SL. According to the Turo blog, it frees up more legroom for the rear jump seats and keeps the cabin quieter with the top up. You get sunshine on the coast road and a calm cabin on the highway home.
Agile handling with rear-axle steering
On the SL 55 and SL 63, rear-axle steering turns the rear wheels up to 2.5°. It helps this roadster feel nimble in tight turns and steady at speed. AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL comes standard on the SL 63 and is optional on the SL 55, so check your listing for the setup.
Front axle lift handles the less glamorous moments. It raises the nose so you can ease up steep driveways and parking garage ramps without scraping the front end. That's one less thing to worry about when you pull up to a hotel entrance — and more attention left for the drive itself.
Stand out with a SL-Class
The SL-Class makes the moment — a coastal drive, an anniversary, a weekend escape for two, or a milestone celebration. Picture the top down on an ocean road with two soft bags tucked in the trunk. When the occasion deserves more than everyday wheels, browse luxury and exotic car rentals and cast the SL as your co-star.
Top SL-Class features
A legacy that started with the 300 SL Gullwing
Three things set the SL-Class apart: a bloodline dating to 1954, a cockpit loaded with tech and sound, and a lineup of three trims.
The SL story begins in 1954, when the 300 SL Gullwing debuted at the International Motor Sports Show in New York. Mercedes-Benz built it as a coupe between 1954 and 1957, then as a roadster between 1957 and 1963.
Today's SL comes from Mercedes-AMG in Affalterbach, Germany, which developed the current generation. It arrived in the US as a 2022 model in SL 55 and SL 63 form, and the SL 43 joined for 2023.
The Turo blog notes this generation rides on a new lightweight aluminum architecture. When you rent one, you're driving the latest chapter of a story that began more than 70 years ago.
MBUX cockpit and Burmester sound
The SL-Class cabin runs third-generation MBUX, with a hyper analog digital cockpit and a center touchscreen that tilts. AMG DRIVE UNIT controls on the steering wheel put drive settings at your thumbs, and DISTRONIC adaptive cruise lends a hand on long highway stretches.
The soundtrack matters just as much. Burmester surround sound comes standard with 11 speakers and 650 W, while the optional High-End 3D system steps up to 17 speakers and 1,220 W. Both support Dolby Atmos, so your playlist fills the cabin even with the top down.
Some SLs also come with optional MANUFAKTUR Nappa leather. Check the listing to see which audio system and upholstery your SL has before you book.
Three trims: SL 43, SL 55, and SL 63
You can rent three SL-Class trims on Turo, depending on what's listed near you. The SL 43 pairs a 2.0L turbo four-cylinder with an electric turbocharger and a 48V system. It makes 416 hp, drives the rear wheels, and earns 19/27 mpg city/highway.
The SL 55 steps up to a 469-hp twin-turbo V8 and hits 0–60 mph in 3.8 sec. The SL 63 tops the range with 577 hp and a 3.5-sec sprint to 60 mph. Every trim offers 2+2 seating and 7.5 cu ft of cargo space.

Downey was a great host. I really like that the family did business and I would absolutely rent from them again. The car was in great shape.
Andrei is an amazing and friendly host. Was quick to answer any questions and checked in on us throughout the reservation to make sure the car was meeting our expectations. Will be renting this again when I can.

Top tips and things to know before renting a SL-Class
Get to know your SL-Class
Check the trim, plan your packing, and learn the roof and drive controls before you go. These tips help you get the most from your SL-Class trip.
Check the listing for the year and trim before you book. Power, drive type, and fuel economy differ across the SL 43, SL 55, and SL 63. The rear jump seats suit small adults on short drives — or your extra bags.
With 7.5 cu ft of cargo space, soft bags pack far better than hard-shell suitcases. Need more room? A Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon rental gives you SUV space, and a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter rental fits the whole group.
SL-Class driving tips
Operate the roof only at up to 37 mph, fill up with premium fuel, and take a few miles to learn the AMG drive modes. Each mode changes how the SL responds, so expect a short learning curve.
Use front axle lift on steep driveways and parking garage ramps. The V8 trims average 14/21 mpg city/highway, so plan your gas station stops on longer drives.
How much does it cost to rent a SL-Class?
The price to rent an SL-Class on Turo depends on the year, trim, location, and trip length. Check current listings near you for daily rates.
Planning a longer stay? Trips of seven or more, 14 or more, and 30 or more days get automatic discounts. With long-term car rental on Turo, you can keep your SL for a month or longer.

* 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.
