Drive a 718 Boxster
A Porsche 718 Boxster rental puts you behind the wheel of a mid-engine, two-seat roadster that you book from a local vehicle owner on Turo. It's the open-air way to enjoy a Porsche rental — top folded, weight centered, and every curve on your terms.
Booking works around you. You choose the exact car, down to the model year, trim, and transmission, then pick the pickup or delivery option that fits your plans. The 2025 model year was the 718 Boxster's final year, so this is a last chance to drive the gas-powered Boxster.

Mid-engine balance you can feel
The 718 Boxster's mid-engine layout keeps its center of gravity low and central, so the car feels planted and eager to turn. Add a compact, lightweight body and rear-wheel drive, and you get a roadster that rewards smooth hands on every bend.
Turbocharged flat-four power
The base 718 Boxster runs on a 2.0L turbocharged flat-four that makes 300 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. That's enough to reach 60 mph in 4.7 seconds — quick enough to turn a highway on-ramp into the best part of your morning.
Craving more punch? A Boxster S listing steps up to a 2.5L turbocharged flat-four with 350 hp and a 4.2-second 0-60 mph run. Check each listing's trim before you book, since local vehicle owners list a mix of versions.
Open-top soft roof
The 718 Boxster's soft top opens in about nine seconds, and it works at speeds up to 31 mph. That means you can drop the roof at a stoplight or while rolling through a neighborhood — no pulling over required.
It turns every drive into a roadster drive — soak up the sun on a coastal stretch, then close up when clouds roll in. Because the top moves at low speeds, you can adjust on the go and skip the hunt for a parking spot. Top up or top down — in a 718 Boxster, your answer can change by the mile.
Stand out with a 718 Boxster
The 718 Boxster shines on trips built for two: a coastal weekend, a scenic drive, or a special occasion worth celebrating with the top down. It's a standout among convertible car rentals on Turo, packing mid-engine balance and open-air drama into one compact roadster. Browse it alongside other exotic and luxury rentals when you want your plans to feel a little more cinematic.
Top 718 Boxster features
Nearly three decades of Boxster heritage
Three details set the 718 Boxster apart: its heritage, your choice of transmission, and a trim ladder that climbs to a flat-six.
The Boxster nameplate spans 1996–2025 and four generations, and the 718 is its final gas-powered chapter. When you book one, you're driving the last page of a long roadster story.
The 718 Boxster (982 generation) wrapped up with the 2025 model year, and production wound down in October 2025. That gives every trip a sense of occasion, whether you're a longtime fan of the nameplate or meeting it for the first time. Think of it as a front-row seat to the finale of a roadster line that lasted nearly 30 years — with the top down, naturally.
Your choice of PDK or manual
The 2025 718 Boxster came standard with a seven-speed PDK, and a six-speed manual was a no-cost option. That means 718 Boxster listings on Turo can include either — so check the listing to see which one you're booking.
The PDK shifts for you, keeping your attention on the road and the view. The manual hands you a clutch pedal and a shifter for a more hands-on drive. Either way, confirm the transmission on the listing so the car matches the drive you've pictured.
A trim ladder topped by a flat-six
The 718 Boxster lineup climbs well beyond the base car, with a flat-six waiting near the top. The Boxster and Style Edition both make 300 hp, and the Boxster S steps up to 350 hp.
Keep climbing and the GTS 4.0 brings a naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-six with 394 hp. The Spyder RS tops the range at 493 hp. These higher-value trims can fall into a different vehicle class on Turo with a higher age requirement, so check the FAQ below.

Top tips and things to know before renting a 718 Boxster
Get to know your 718 Boxster
A few minutes of prep makes your 718 Boxster trip easier from the first mile. Here's what to know about the car, the drive, and the cost before you book.
The 718 Boxster is a strict two-seater with a roadster soft top, so plan your passengers and luggage around that. Compare each listing's trim and transmission before you book, since both vary from car to car.
Weighing your options? Compare it with the Porsche 911. You can also browse Porsche rentals in Los Angeles and Porsche rentals in Miami to see what local vehicle owners offer in two sunny destinations.
718 Boxster driving tips
The best 718 Boxster trips start with a quick check of the car before you pull away.
Confirm whether your car has the PDK or the manual, and get comfortable with the controls.
Practice the soft top while parked, and remember it operates at speeds up to 31 mph.
Respect the throttle, since 300 hp or more builds speed fast.
Pack light, because a two-seater leaves limited room for bags.
Add other drivers in the Turo app before anyone else takes the wheel.
How much does it cost to rent a 718 Boxster?
The cost to rent a 718 Boxster depends on the model year, trim, trip length, extras, and delivery. Check each listing for the trip total before you book.
Book a non-refundable trip four or more days ahead for 10% off, and look for three-day, weekly, and monthly discounts on many listings. Staying 30 days or longer? Explore long-term car rental on Turo.

* 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.
