A refined five-seat SUV with quiet confidence
Drive a Touareg
A Volkswagen Touareg car rental puts you in a premium midsize SUV with five seats, a 3.6L VR6 engine, and 4Motion all-wheel drive. The 2017 model year was the Touareg's last in the US, which makes it a standout among Volkswagen car rental options on Turo.
On Turo, you book your Touareg from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup or delivery that fits your plans. Touareg rentals on Turo span model years, so features vary by listing.
Touareg specs
Horsepower

Torque

Acceleration

Weight

Smooth VR6 power, all-weather poise
The Touareg pairs a 280-hp VR6 and 266 lb-ft of torque with an eight-speed automatic, so merges and highway passes feel smooth and unhurried. Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel drive adds grip when rain or snow slicks the highway. When properly equipped, it tows up to 7,716 lbs, so a trailer can come along for the ride.
Standard driver-assist tech for calmer drives
The 2017 Touareg came standard with a full set of driver-assist features — a real perk on long highway days. Adaptive Cruise Control helps manage your following distance, and Front Assist pairs forward collision warning with autonomous emergency braking. Lane Assist and Side Assist, which watches your blind spot, add backup on busy interstates.
Park Pilot helps when you're easing into a tight spot at the grocery store or a downtown parking garage. Automatic Post-Collision Braking can apply the brakes after an impact to help reduce the chance of a second one. Together, these features let you focus on the drive instead of second-guessing every lane change.
A roomy cabin for five and their gear
The Touareg seats five, with 32.1 cu ft of cargo space behind the rear seats and 64.0 cu ft when you fold them down. That's room for suitcases, a cooler, and a stroller on a family getaway. The hands-free Easy Open liftgate opens the back for you, so you don't have to set anything down first.
Book a Wolfsburg Edition and you'll also get a panoramic sunroof and ventilated front seats. The sunroof floods the cabin with light on scenic drives, and cooled seats are a welcome treat on a hot summer afternoon. It's the kind of comfort that makes a five-hour drive feel shorter.
Stand out with a Touareg
The Touareg is a premium midsize SUV — it delivers an upscale feel without a flagship-luxury price tag. It suits couples or small families on road trips, plus business travelers who want a polished ride to client meetings. Explore SUV rental on Turo to compare it with other options near you.
Top Touareg features
A proven heritage and a rarer find
Three things set the Touareg apart: its heritage, Executive-trim audio and cameras, and serious road-trip range.
Volkswagen sold more than 1.2 million Touaregs across three generations, so this SUV has a long track record behind it. The second generation (2010–2018) alone accounts for more than 483,000 of those sales. In other words, you're driving a well-established nameplate.
The 2017 model year was the Touareg's final one in the US, which makes it a rarer find today. Booking one on Turo lets you drive a model you can't buy new here anymore — a fun pick if you've been curious. Check the listing's model year so you know exactly which version you're getting.
Executive-trim audio and cameras
The Executive trim is the one to look for if you love great sound. Its 620-watt, 10-speaker Dynaudio system fills the cabin, so your road-trip playlist or favorite podcast comes through clear and rich. On a long drive, that's a soundtrack worth turning up.
The Area View overhead camera gives you a bird's-eye look around the vehicle, which helps in tight parking garages and narrow driveways. Vienna leather and heated rear seats keep everyone comfortable — your back-seat passengers will thank you on chilly mornings. If these features matter to you, confirm the trim on the listing before you book.
Road-trip range on regular fuel
The Touareg's 26.4-gal tank gives you plenty of range between fill-ups, so you spend more time driving and less time at the gas station. EPA estimates come in at 17 city, 23 highway, and 19 combined mpg. That's a solid balance for an SUV with this much room and power.
It runs on regular fuel, which keeps pump stops simple and budget-friendly wherever your trip takes you. Pair that big tank with steady highway cruising, and you can cover serious ground on a long weekend. Think coastal drives, national park visits, or a cross-state family reunion with everyone's bags in the back.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Touareg
Get to know your Touareg
Check the trim, plan your fuel stops, and know how pricing works before you book a Touareg.
The Touareg seats five, not seven, so it's best for groups of five or fewer. Check the listing's model year and trim before you book, since features differ across the Sport with Technology, Wolfsburg Edition, and Executive trims.

Touareg driving tips
Practice in a quiet lot. At 4,696 lbs, the Touareg is a big SUV, so take a few laps in an empty parking lot.
Plan your fuel stops. It takes regular fuel and holds 26.4 gal, so fill up before long stretches without gas stations.
Confirm the trailer setup. Check the listing for towing details before you hitch up, and tow only with the right equipment.
How much does it cost to rent a Touareg?
Local vehicle owners set the daily price for each Touareg, and it varies by model year, trip length, location, and extras. Turo shows mandatory fees upfront, before you book, so there are no surprises at checkout.
You can save in a few ways. Book four or more days in advance to get a 10% non-refundable discount. Duration discounts can also apply to trips of three days, one week, two weeks, three weeks, or a month.
Trips of 30 days or more skip the trip fee, with limited exceptions in parts of Los Angeles and New York. If you need a Touareg for the long haul, 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.
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.
