A Buick Regal Sportback rental with room to roam
Drive a Regal Sportback
A Buick Regal Sportback rental puts you behind the wheel of a German-built liftback that looks like a sedan and hauls like a hatchback. Its 250 hp turbocharged four-cylinder pairs with a nine-speed automatic, so you've got muscle for on-ramps and long highway stretches. Compare it with every other Buick car rental to find your fit.
On Turo, you book your Regal Sportback from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup or delivery that fits your plans. You'll find model years 2018–2020, and 2020 was the final US model year — so you're booking the finale of a short run.

Liftback hauling in a sedan silhouette
The Regal Sportback's standout strength is cargo space. Its liftback opens to 31.5 cubic feet behind the rear seat and 60.7 cubic feet with the seats folded. That folded figure rivals some SUVs — not bad for a car that passes for a sleek sedan at the curb.
Turbocharged, nine-speed performance
The Regal Sportback pairs its practical shape with real power. Its 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder makes 250 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, and a nine-speed automatic handles the shifts. You'll have plenty in reserve for passing on two-lane highways, merging onto busy interstates, and cruising with a loaded cargo area.
Want more power? The GS trim swaps in a 3.6L V6 with 310 hp, standard all-wheel drive, and the same roomy liftback. Check the trim in the listing details before you book — that's how you'll know which engine you're getting.
Available all-wheel drive
Yes, you can rent a Regal Sportback with all-wheel drive. AWD comes as an option on the Essence trim with the 2.0L turbo, and it's standard on the GS with the 3.6L V6. The base 2.0T drives the front wheels.
That extra grip earns its keep on rainy coastal drives, chilly mountain-town weekends, and winter visits with family a few states away. Not every Regal Sportback on Turo has AWD, so check the listing details for the trim and drivetrain before you book. If the weather on your route is hard to predict, an Essence or GS gives you added confidence on wet or wintry pavement.
Stand out with a Regal Sportback
The Regal Sportback shines on road trips with luggage, airport runs, and weekends with bikes or bulky gear in tow. You get 26 mpg combined, sedan-like looks, and a liftback that swallows suitcases, coolers, and duffels without a fight. To see what else fits your trip, browse car rentals across the US.
Top Regal Sportback features
European lineage
Three things set the Regal Sportback apart: its European lineage, flexible fold-down seating, and connected cabin tech.
The Regal Sportback has European roots. It's based on the Opel Insignia and came off the line in Rüsselsheim, Germany, for the 2018–2020 model years. That heritage shows in its long, low liftback profile.
It also holds a place in Buick history. The 2020 Regal Sportback and TourX were the final Buick cars sold in the US, so this liftback marks the end of the brand's US car lineup. Book one on Turo and you're driving a piece of that story — a fun detail to share at your next stop.
Flexible fold-down seating
The Regal Sportback's rear seat folds to fit your plans. Depending on the trim, it splits 60/40 or 40/20/40, so you can mix passengers and cargo in whatever combo your trip calls for. With a 40/20/40 split, you can fold just the center section for long items and still seat two passengers in back.
Fold the whole rear seat down and cargo space grows to 60.7 cubic feet. That's room for suitcases, camping gear, or a flat-pack furniture haul, all loaded through the wide liftback opening. Before you pack, check the listing to see which seat split your Regal Sportback has.
Connected cabin tech
The Regal Sportback keeps you connected from the first mile. The Preferred trim comes with an eight-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Your maps, music, and messages show up right on the dash.
Step up to the Essence and you'll add heated front seats and leather upholstery — welcome touches on a cold morning. Upper trims also offer available adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist, which help take some of the strain out of long highway stretches. Features vary by trim, so check the listing details for the exact setup before you book.
Top tips and things to know before renting a Regal Sportback
Get to know your Regal Sportback
Know your trim, plan for premium fuel, and learn the liftback before you leave. These quick checks set you up for a smoother Regal Sportback trip.
Start with the year and trim, since equipment varies across the Base, Preferred, Essence, Avenir, and GS. Plan your fill-ups around premium unleaded, the recommended fuel. If you're in Southern California, browse Buick rentals in Los Angeles for options in the area.
If you're weighing the Regal Sportback against a conventional midsize sedan like a Toyota Camry rental, the big difference is how you load cargo. A sedan's trunk opens below the rear window, while the Regal Sportback's liftback raises the whole rear hatch, glass and all. That bigger opening makes bulky bags and gear much easier to slide in.
Regal Sportback driving tips
A little prep goes a long way with this liftback. Before your trip, take these steps:
Book early, since production ended in 2020 and there are only so many Regal Sportbacks out there.
Plan your route and note gas stations with premium unleaded along the way.
Check the fuel level at pickup so you know where you're starting.
Learn how to open the liftback and fold the rear seats before you load up.
Set up Apple CarPlay or Android Auto before you pull away.
How much does it cost to rent a Regal Sportback?
The cost to rent a Regal Sportback depends on the model year, trim, trip length, extras, and delivery. Book a non-refundable trip four or more days ahead and you'll save 10%.
Duration discounts kick in at three days, one week, two weeks, three weeks, and monthly for trips of 30 or more days. Need it for a month or more? Explore long-term car rental on Turo, where trips of 30 or more days use pay-as-you-go billing.

* 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.
