A Porsche 718 rental puts the engine right behind you
Drive a 718
A Porsche 718 rental puts you in a mid-engine, two-seat sports car. Its weight sits between the axles — so it turns in fast and feels planted through every bend. Browse Porsche car rentals on Turo, the car rental marketplace where you book directly from a local vehicle owner.
Pick the 718 Cayman if you want a fixed-roof coupe, or the 718 Boxster if you'd rather drop the top. Either way, you choose the trim, the dates, and the pickup plan that fit your trip.

Mid-engine balance you can feel
The 718 mounts its engine behind the seats and sends power to the rear wheels. That layout keeps the mass low and central, so the car rotates eagerly — you'll feel it within a few turns.
Manual or PDK, your call
The base 718 runs a 2.0L turbocharged flat-four that makes 300 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. With that much torque on tap, you get a strong shove out of slow corners without chasing the redline.
You also get a say in how you shift, and the six-speed manual rewards drivers who love working the clutch through a string of switchbacks. The seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic snaps off quick shifts and makes stop-and-go city traffic far more relaxed. Not every listing offers both, so check the transmission before you book (more on that in the driving tips below).
Two trunks, two seats
The 718 gives you two trunks — one up front and one in the rear — for 9.7 cu ft of total cargo space. That's room for a couple of soft weekend bags, a camera kit, or a picnic for two (bulky hard-shell suitcases are a tougher fit).
Inside, two seats keep the cabin focused on you, your passenger, and the road ahead. The base 718 Cayman also returns 24 mpg combined, so a long coastal loop won't keep you circling back to the gas station. It's a sports car you can actually take on a weekend getaway, as long as you pack smart.
Stand out with a 718
A 718 turns an ordinary weekend into a driving event, whether that's a sunrise run along a coastal highway or an anniversary dinner across town. Gas-powered 718 production ended with the 2025 model year, so renting one puts you in a final-year sports car. Compare it with other exotic and luxury rentals on Turo to pick the right car for the occasion.
Top 718 features
Boxster or Cayman: pick your body style
Three things set the 718 apart: body style choice, a deep trim ladder, and its final-year status.
The 718 comes in two body styles, and your choice shapes the whole trip. The Boxster is an open-top roadster, so you get open sky and engine sound on every scenic stretch. The Cayman is a fixed-roof coupe that suits long highway miles and cool mornings.
Both share the same mid-engine layout, two-seat cabin, and pair of trunks, so the decision really comes down to the roof. Craving fresh air above all else? Browse convertible rentals on Turo to see more open-top options near you.
A trim ladder up to flat-six power
The base 718 is just the first rung. The Cayman S steps up to a 2.5L turbo engine with 350 hp. The GTS 4.0 swaps in a 4.0L naturally aspirated flat-six that makes 394 hp — and a soundtrack to match.
At the top sit the RS models. The GT4 RS makes 493 hp and revs all the way to a 9,000 rpm redline, and the Spyder RS is its open-top counterpart. Trims vary by listing, so read the details carefully to confirm exactly which 718 you're booking before checkout.
The last of the gas-powered 718s
Production of the gas-powered 718 Boxster and Cayman ended in October 2025, making 2025 the final US model year. That means every 718 you book on Turo comes from the closing run of this mid-engine line.
A rental is an easy way to claim your time behind the wheel without committing to buy one. Spend a weekend rowing the manual, try the PDK on a canyon road, or book a Boxster and Cayman back to back. Either way, you get to savor a sports car chapter that's now complete.

718 driving tips
The 718 is easy to drive, but a few habits make your trip smoother:
Fill up with premium gas, which 718 listings on Turo show as the fuel type.
Take steep driveways, speed bumps, and parking garage ramps slowly and at an angle.
Pack soft bags that squeeze into the front and rear trunks.
Confirm the transmission on the listing if you want the six-speed manual.
