Toyota Highlander Hybrid car rental with three rows and 35 mpg
Drive a Highlander Hybrid
A Toyota Highlander Hybrid car rental puts you behind the wheel of a three-row midsize SUV built to stretch every gallon. Every trim pairs a hybrid powertrain with standard all-wheel drive and an EPA-estimated 35 mpg combined. It's a smart pick within Toyota car rental when you want space and fewer fuel stops.
On Turo, the car rental marketplace, you book your Highlander Hybrid from a local vehicle owner and arrange a pickup that fits your plans. Choose the dates and location that work for you, whether that's a long weekend or a month-long stay.

Efficient hybrid power for every mile
The Highlander Hybrid earns about 10 mpg more than the gas-only version, with an EPA-estimated 35 mpg combined. A 2.5L four-cylinder engine teams up with three electric motors for 243 hp combined, all routed through a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Translation: more miles between gas stations and more budget for the fun stuff.
All-wheel drive on every trim
Every Highlander Hybrid comes with all-wheel drive, so you won't need to hunt for a specific trim to get it. Two electric motors sit up front, and a third drives the rear wheels. That rear motor gives you extra grip when the weather turns.
The added traction brings confidence on rain-slicked highways and snowy roads. Picture a winter weekend in a mountain town with the whole crew aboard, or a soggy commute across the city. You keep your focus on the drive and the conversation, while the Highlander Hybrid keeps its footing on the pavement.
Room for the whole crew
The Highlander Hybrid seats up to eight people across three rows, with seven seats on some trims. That's room for the grandparents, the cousins, and the friend who always calls shotgun (someone has to run the playlist).
Behind the third row, you get 16.0 cubic feet of cargo space for duffels, a stroller, or a cooler packed with road-trip snacks. Soft-sided bags help you make the most of every inch. With everyone in one vehicle, you skip the two-car caravan and keep the whole group together from the first mile.
Stand out with a Highlander Hybrid
The Highlander Hybrid shines on family road trips, long highway drives, and group getaways where space and efficiency both matter. Three rows keep everyone together, and 35 mpg combined keeps fuel costs in check across the miles. Browse more three-row SUV rentals on Turo to compare your options.
Top Highlander Hybrid features
Towing up to 3,500 lbs
Three features set the Highlander Hybrid apart: towing up to 3,500 lbs, three trims to choose from, and highway-ready efficiency.
The Highlander Hybrid can tow up to 3,500 lbs, so its capability reaches beyond the passenger seats. That opens the door to pulling a small trailer for a lake weekend or a move across town. Pairing that towing capacity with three rows means one vehicle can handle the people and the gear.
Planning to tow? Check the listing details before you book to confirm the vehicle is ready for it. A quick look now saves a scramble on departure day, and you'll start the trip knowing everything is set up the way you need it.
Three trims to choose from
The Highlander Hybrid comes in three trims: XLE, Limited, and Platinum. The XLE covers the essentials, including the hybrid powertrain, standard all-wheel drive, and an EPA-estimated 35 mpg city and 35 mpg highway.
Step up to the Limited for a larger display screen, leather trim, and JBL audio (your road-trip playlist will thank you). The Limited and Platinum also ride on 20-inch wheels for a bolder stance. Check the listing for the year and trim, so you know exactly which version you're booking before you arrive.
Highway-ready efficiency
The Highlander Hybrid holds onto its efficiency at highway speeds, so long drives go easier on your budget. The XLE earns an EPA-estimated 35 mpg city and 35 mpg highway. The Limited and Platinum, on 20-inch wheels, earn 35 mpg city and 34 mpg highway.
That near-even split means fewer fuel stops on a cross-state road trip. You'll have more time for the scenic overlook or the roadside diner you spotted on the map. Fill up, settle in, and let the miles roll by.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Highlander Hybrid
Get to know your Highlander Hybrid
A little prep goes a long way with a Highlander Hybrid rental. Here's what to check, how to drive it, and what it costs.
Start by checking the year and trim on the listing, since screen size, upholstery, audio, and wheel size vary by trim. If you're weighing options, compare a few close relatives on Turo.
The gas Toyota Highlander makes 265 hp and earns 24 mpg with all-wheel drive, trading efficiency for a bit more power. A Toyota Prius hybrid works well if you don't need three rows. For a different take on family space, the Toyota Sienna minivan is another option for group trips.
Highlander Hybrid driving tips
The Highlander Hybrid drives like a familiar SUV, with a few hybrid quirks worth knowing. Book early for holiday weekends and school breaks so you can lock in the dates you want. Plan your route ahead of time, including where you'll stop to stretch and refuel.
Expect a quiet start, since hybrids can pull away on electric power with little engine sound. Regenerative braking recaptures energy as you slow down, so the brakes may feel a little different at first. Take a few minutes in a parking lot to get used to the brakes and the SUV's size before you load up the crew.
How much does it cost to rent a Highlander Hybrid?
The cost of a Highlander Hybrid rental starts with the daily price its local vehicle owner sets. Your total also depends on the vehicle year, trip length, location, and any extras you add. You'll see mandatory fees upfront, before you book.
You can save 10% when you book four or more days ahead. Trips of 30 days or more skip the trip fee, with limited exceptions in parts of Los Angeles and New York. Explore long-term car rental on Turo for monthly options.
