Compact luxury with big-city confidence

Drive a GLA-Class

A GLA-Class SUV rental gets you compact luxury that's easy to live with. Think five seats, a polished cabin, and a size that slips into tight city parking. It's the brand's entry-level luxury SUV and a smart starting point if you're browsing Mercedes-Benz rental options on Turo.

On Turo, you book your GLA-Class from a local vehicle owner and choose pickup or delivery, where the listing offers it. Turo is a car rental marketplace, so you pick the exact year, trim, and features you want before you check out.

GLA-Class specs

MPG

28 combined

Weight

3,726 lbs

Acceleration

0-60 mph in 6.6 sec

Horsepower

221 hp

Turbocharged power with a hybrid assist

The GLA 250 pairs a 2.0L turbocharged inline-four with 48-volt mild-hybrid assist for 221 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed dual-clutch transmission keeps shifts quick. EPA ratings land at 25 mpg city, 33 mpg highway, and 28 mpg combined — strong numbers for freeway runs and stop-and-go traffic alike.

Twin screens and a voice assistant that listens

The GLA-Class gives you twin 10.25-inch displays, so maps, music, and drive info stay big and easy to read. Wireless Apple CarPlay connects your phone without a cable. Your playlists, contacts, and favorite apps show up on screen as soon as you pair.

Want to keep both hands on the wheel? Say "Hey Mercedes" to wake the voice assistant, then ask for directions to your next stop. It's a handy setup in an unfamiliar city — you get where you're going without digging through menus at a red light.

Cargo space that flexes with your trip

The GLA-Class holds 15.4 cubic feet of cargo behind the second row, which covers weekend bags with room to spare. Fold the rear seats and that grows to 50.5 cubic feet for bigger loads.

With the available 40/20/40 split-folding rear seat, you can slide long items like skis through the middle and still seat two passengers in back. An available hands-free power liftgate opens with a foot gesture — useful when your arms are full. Check the listing to see which features your GLA-Class includes.

Stand out with a GLA-Class

The GLA-Class fits solo travelers and couples who want luxury without a big SUV to park. It's sized for city trips and weekend getaways — easy to maneuver downtown, comfortable on the highway, and polished enough for a dinner reservation. If you're comparing compact luxury SUV rentals, the GLA-Class packs a premium experience into a footprint that fits real-world parking.

Top GLA-Class features

decorative separator

4MATIC all-wheel drive

Three features set the GLA-Class apart: 4MATIC all-wheel drive, AMG GLA 35 performance, and the brand's SUV design lineage.

4MATIC all-wheel drive gives the GLA-Class confident traction when the weather changes. It's available on the GLA 250 and standard on the AMG GLA 35. GLA 250 models without it come with front-wheel drive.

That extra grip helps on rain-slick city streets, slushy ski-town roads, and paved mountain highways after a fresh snowfall. You'll feel more settled pulling away from a stoplight or merging in wet conditions. If your trip includes winter weather or a shifting forecast, look for 4MATIC in the listing details before you book.

AMG GLA 35 performance

The AMG GLA 35 turns the GLA-Class into a sport-tuned compact SUV, if you find one listed. It makes 302 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive comes standard, along with AMG Sport Suspension and 19-inch wheels.

That's 81 more horsepower than the GLA 250 — a jump you'll notice merging onto a busy freeway or tracing a winding canyon road. Availability depends on what local vehicle owners list near you, so check the trim on each listing before you book.

Mercedes-Benz SUV design lineage

The GLA-Class is the entry point to the brand's SUV family. You get the luxury SUV experience in compact proportions that stay easy to park and quick to maneuver. On the GLA 250 4MATIC, 18-inch wheels fill out its stance.

If you've been curious about the brand's SUVs, the GLA-Class is a low-commitment way to try one. You get the cabin tech and flexible cargo space covered above in a size that suits daily errands, airport runs, and city weekends. It's a premium step up from an everyday crossover, without the bulk of a larger SUV.

Top tips and things to know before renting a GLA-Class

decorative separator

Get to know your GLA-Class

A little prep helps you get the most from your GLA-Class. Here's what to know about its size, how it drives, and what you'll pay.

The GLA-Class seats five in a compact footprint, so it shines for solo trips, couples, and small groups with moderate luggage. Check the cargo numbers above if you're packing for a longer trip.

If you want a bigger presence, a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon rental gives you a larger, bolder SUV. For group trips or hauling gear, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter rental gives you room for more passengers and cargo.

GLA-Class driving tips

A few quick habits make your first miles in a GLA-Class easier:

Pair your phone through wireless Apple CarPlay before you set off.

Say "Hey Mercedes" to start navigation without taking your hands off the wheel.

Expect quick, crisp shifts from the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Fold the 40/20/40 rear seat, where equipped, to fit long items.

Check the listing for 4MATIC if you're traveling in winter.

How much does it cost to rent a GLA-Class?

GLA-Class rental prices vary by location, dates, and listing, so search your trip to see the current daily price. You'll see all mandatory fees before checkout.

Trip-length discounts may apply to three-day, weekly, and monthly trips. Trips of 30 days or longer generally don't carry a trip fee. If you're relocating or between cars, a long-term car rental is worth a look.

  1. * 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.

  2. 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.
