The Ford Focus car rental that outlived the showroom
Drive a Focus
A Ford Focus car rental puts you behind the wheel of a nimble compact that's right at home on city streets. It's a front-wheel-drive sedan or hatchback, sold in the US from 2000 through the 2018 model year. If you're browsing for a Ford rental, it's one of the most familiar names in the family.
You can't buy a new Focus anymore, but you can still book one. On Turo, you rent your Focus from a local vehicle owner and choose the pickup or delivery options their listing offers.
Focus specs
MPG
26 city/38 hwy
Horsepower
160 hp
Seats

Weight
~2,928 lbs
Frugal, fuel-sipping efficiency
The Focus makes a tank of gas go the distance — the 2.0L automatic earns 31 combined mpg (26 city/38 hwy). Find a 1.0L EcoBoost SE sedan, and you'll see up to 40 mpg highway and 34 combined with the manual transmission.
Room for five and the bags
The Focus seats five, so you can bring the whole crew without sizing up to a bigger vehicle. Your cargo space depends on the body style you book. The sedan gives you 13.2 cubic feet of trunk space. The hatchback opens up 23.3 cubic feet — about 10 more for luggage, strollers, or gear.
Packing for a long weekend or an airport run with friends? The hatchback is the smarter pick. Traveling light or mostly commuting? The sedan keeps things tidy, with a closed trunk that keeps your bags out of sight.
Nimble, city-sized handling
The Focus is light on its feet, which makes city driving and tight parking spots far less stressful. Its 2.0L four-cylinder makes 160 hp and 146 lb-ft of torque, sending power to the front wheels. At about 2,928 lbs for the base automatic sedan, it's easy to place in traffic and simple to slot into a parallel-parking space.
That combination suits stop-and-go commutes, busy downtown streets, and parking garages where every inch counts. You get enough pep for everyday driving without the bulk of a larger vehicle. Front-wheel drive keeps the feel predictable and familiar from the first mile.
Stand out with a Focus
A Focus fits budget-minded city trips, daily commutes, and weekend getaways where efficiency matters more than flash. It's a familiar compact you can't buy new anymore, which gives it a low-key kind of cool. Turo is the car rental marketplace where you can rent the exact car you want — even one that's left the showroom.
Top Focus features
Two decades of American heritage
Three things set the Focus apart: its heritage, its performance lineage, and its powertrain variety.
The Focus spent nearly two decades in the US lineup, from 2000 through the 2018 model year. In April 2018, the automaker announced it would drop its entire US car lineup except its pony car. The Focus was part of that exit, and the final 2018 models were built in the US.
That makes a Focus rental a small slice of automotive history. You're driving the last chapter of a compact that spent 19 model years in American driveways, campus lots, and commuter lanes. Showrooms moved on, but local vehicle owners on Turo kept the Focus on the road — and the keys within reach.
Performance lineage with the ST and RS
The Focus name also covers two enthusiast favorites. The Focus ST pairs a 252-hp 2.0L EcoBoost engine with a six-speed manual. The Focus RS goes further, with a 350-hp 2.3L EcoBoost, all-wheel drive, and a 0–60 mph time of 4.6 seconds.
The RS even includes Drift Mode, designed for track use. Both are rarer than the standard Focus, so availability depends on local listings. Spot one near you? Grab the chance to drive a performance compact that's no longer sold new — manual gearbox and all.
Powertrain variety under one name
The Focus came in more flavors than its compact size suggests. Beyond the standard 2.0L four-cylinder, the SE sedan offered a 1.0L EcoBoost three-cylinder making 123 hp. The Focus Electric skipped gas entirely and earned a rating of 107 MPGe combined.
Add the ST and RS, and one nameplate covers commuting, efficiency, electric, and enthusiast driving. That range means two Focus rentals can feel completely different from behind the wheel. Check the listing to see which version you're booking, so you get the drive that matches your plans.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Focus
Get to know your Focus
A little prep goes a long way. Check the listing details, know which fuel and transmission you're getting, and compare trip lengths to find your best price.
Start with the listing — it tells you the year, body style, and trim. Those details shape everything from cargo space to performance. A sedan gives you a closed trunk, a hatchback gives you more room, and the ST and RS trims bring serious performance.
Want more muscle? Check out a Ford Mustang rental. Need more room for the family? A Ford Explorer rental gives you SUV-sized space, and a Ford Bronco rental pairs a bold look with roomy capability.
Focus driving tips
Fill up with regular unleaded, confirm the transmission, and check your included distance before you go.
Fill up with regular unleaded gas, since the 2.0L four-cylinder runs on it.
Confirm the transmission in the listing, since the Focus came with a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic.
Expect a six-speed manual if you book a Focus ST or Focus RS.
Fold the hatchback's rear seats when you need room for bulky gear.
Check the distance included on the listing before you plan a long drive.
How much does it cost to rent a Focus?
The cost to rent a Focus depends on your location, dates, and trip length, since local vehicle owners set their own prices. Longer trips can unlock trip-duration discounts for three-day, weekly, two-week, three-week, and monthly trips. Book four or more days ahead, and you can save 10% with a non-refundable discount.

* 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.
