A Scion iA car rental that makes every mile count
Drive an iA
A Scion iA car rental gets you a subcompact sedan that's easy to park and easy on your gas budget. It's a smart pick when you want efficiency without giving up trunk space or tech.
The iA was Scion's first sedan, and it packs a lot into a small footprint. Browse Scion rental cars on Turo and you'll find a nimble, efficient subcompact rated at 37 mpg combined with the automatic.
On Turo, a car rental marketplace, you book your iA from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. Pick your dates, choose your spot, and you're set.

Efficiency that stretches every tank
The iA earns its keep at the pump, with an EPA-rated 37 mpg combined for the automatic. Expect 33 mpg city and 42 mpg highway, and its 11.6-gallon tank means fewer gas station stops between errands.
Standard tech and safety
Every iA comes with a seven-inch multimedia touchscreen and a low-speed pre-collision system as standard equipment. Scion sold the iA in a single, mono-spec trim, so you won't have to guess which version of these features you're getting.
The touchscreen is your hub for audio and vehicle settings, so take a minute to explore it before you pull out. The low-speed pre-collision system adds an extra layer of awareness in slow, stop-and-go traffic — think crowded parking lots and busy city streets. Keep your eyes up anyway, since it's there to back you up, and enjoy tech you'd expect from a pricier ride.
Agile, city-friendly handling
The iA's 1.5L engine makes 106 hp and 103 lb-ft of torque, sending power to the front wheels. That's modest on paper, but it's plenty for city traffic in a sedan weighing about 2,416 lbs.
Where the iA really shines is tight spaces, thanks to a 32.2-foot turning circle that helps you swing U-turns and slip into snug parking spots. Front-wheel drive keeps the handling predictable and easy to manage. Each listing has either the six-speed manual or the six-speed automatic, so pick the setup that suits your driving style.
Stand out with an iA
An iA fits guests who want to stretch a budget without settling for a bare-bones ride. It's built for daily commutes, quick city errands, and road trips where every gallon counts. Start with car rentals near you and find an iA that fits your plans.
Top iA features
Scion heritage
The iA stands out for its Scion heritage, a proven powertrain, and practical space. Here's what makes it distinct.
The iA holds a special spot in Scion history as the brand's first sedan. It gave Scion fans a four-door option with a proper trunk and five seats.
It also came in a single, mono-spec trim, so you don't have to decode trim levels or option packages when you browse listings. The 2016 model year was the iA's only and final year wearing the Scion badge, since the brand wound down after 2016. That makes every iA on Turo a small piece of Scion's story — and a practical one you can actually drive.
Mazda-sourced powertrain
Under the hood, the iA runs a Mazda-sourced 1.5L direct-injected four-cylinder engine. Those Mazda engineering roots show up in how efficiently the iA turns fuel into motion.
The engine delivers 106 hp at 6,000 rpm and 103 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. It earns 33 mpg city, 42 highway, and 37 combined with the automatic, or 31, 41, and 35 with the manual. Either way, you get a small engine that's tuned to make the most of every gallon, whether you're commuting or covering highway miles.
Surprisingly roomy trunk
The iA's 13.5-cubic-foot trunk gives you more cargo room than you might expect from a subcompact sedan. That's space for luggage, groceries, or gear for a weekend getaway.
Inside, the iA seats five, so you can bring friends or family along for city outings and longer drives. Pairing a usable trunk with five seats makes the iA a practical choice for airport runs, weekend trips, and everyday errands. You get the easy parking of a small car with enough room to pack for real plans — no awkward cargo shuffling required.

Top tips and things to know before renting a iA
Get to know your iA
A few quick checks before your trip help you get the most from your iA. Here's what to know about the controls, the drive, and the cost.
Spend a minute with the seven-inch touchscreen before you head out, so you can set up audio and settings while parked. It's also worth checking whether the listing has the six-speed manual or the six-speed automatic. If you're not comfortable with a stick, look for an automatic listing before you book.

iA driving tips
The iA's 106 hp handles city driving well, but plan ahead on steep climbs and highway merges. Give yourself extra room to build speed when you're fully loaded or heading uphill.
Fill up with regular unleaded, and settle into steady highway cruising to make the most of the 42 mpg highway rating.
How much does it cost to rent an iA?
Local vehicle owners set their own prices, so the cost of an iA rental varies by location and trip dates. Many offer discounts for longer trips, which can make a weekly or monthly booking easy on your budget.
