Drive an iQ
Of all the cars you'll find through Scion car rental on Turo, the iQ is the smallest — and it's built for the city. At just 120.1 inches long, it still seats four thanks to its 3+1 layout. Tight streets and cramped parking spots are where it shines.
Yes, you can rent an iQ on Turo. You book from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup that fits your plans. Production ended with the 2015 model year, so availability varies by location.

Clever, compact design
The iQ squeezes real cabin room out of a 120.1-inch car. An asymmetrical dash lets the front passenger sit forward of the driver, freeing space in the cabin. A flat fuel tank under the floor and a compact differential reclaim more room — small details that add up in a car this short.
City agility in tight spaces
The iQ turns in a 26.4-foot circle, so U-turns on narrow streets become simple. Pair that with a 120.1-inch length, and you've got a car made for crowded neighborhoods and cramped parking garages.
Parallel parking stops being a spectator sport. You can slip into spots that longer cars pass by, swing around tight lots, and spend less time circling the block. For errands, commutes, and city weekends, that agility is the whole point — the iQ makes a busy city feel a size bigger.
Safety in a small package
The iQ packs 11 airbags into its compact frame, including a rear window curtain airbag. That's a full roster for a city car just 120.1 inches long — and every one comes standard.
The iQ also comes with the Star Safety System. It bundles stability control, traction control, ABS, brake assist, and brake override — five systems working in the background while you focus on the road. Equipment can vary by model year, so check your listing for details before you book.
Stand out with an iQ
An iQ turns heads because it's rare — production ended in 2015, so you won't spot one on every block. The Scion iQ is a smart pick for solo city trips, city trips for two, errands, and daily commutes. Find yours on Turo, the car rental marketplace where you book the exact car you want.
Top iQ features
Fuel efficiency at 37 mpg combined
The iQ's top features are fuel efficiency, flexible cargo space, and Scion heritage with modern cabin tech.
The iQ earns an EPA-estimated 36 mpg city, 37 mpg highway, and 37 mpg combined. That means less time at the gas station and more time doing whatever brought you to town.
Its 8.5-gallon tank is small, but the EPA estimates a range of 314 miles on a full tank. That's plenty of city driving between fill-ups, whether you're running errands or commuting. Just plan a gas stop before longer drives, since you'll refuel more often than in a car with a bigger tank.
Flexible cargo space
The iQ offers 3.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, so pack light (think duffel, not hard-shell suitcase). Fold the 50/50 split rear seats flat, and that space grows to 16.7 cubic feet.
The split lets you fold one side for luggage and keep the other side for a passenger. Traveling solo or as a pair? Fold both sides, and the back becomes a handy cargo hold for groceries, gear, and bags. It's a small car that adapts to the trip you're actually taking.
Scion heritage and cabin tech
The iQ was the Scion brand's smallest car, and production wrapped with the 2015 model year. The brand itself ended in 2016, so renting one puts you behind the wheel of a quirky chapter of car history.
On 2015 models, you'll get a Pioneer audio system with a 6.1-inch touchscreen and Bluetooth. Under the hood, a 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine and CVT deliver 94 hp and 89 lb-ft of torque. Those are modest numbers, but they suit a car that weighs just 2,127 pounds.

Top tips and things to know before renting a iQ
Get to know your iQ
Before you book an iQ, check the model year, plan for a snug back seat, and pack light.
Check each listing's model year and features before you book. The iQ was sold in the US for the 2012–2015 model years, and equipment varies by year. The 3+1 layout seats four, but the rear seat is tight, so save it for short hops.

iQ driving tips
A few habits make every iQ trip easier:

Check the listing's features before you drive, since equipment varies by model year.

What type of license do you need to rent an iQ?
You need a permanent, valid driver's license from the US or your home country to rent an iQ. A temporary license works if it's valid through your trip, along with a photo ID if it has no photo. Turo does not accept expired licenses, provisional licenses, learner's permits, photocopies, or an International Driving Permit as a replacement.
How old do you need to be to rent an iQ on Turo?
The minimum age to rent an iQ on Turo depends on its vehicle class. Guests 18 and older can book standard vehicles. Higher-value classes set higher minimums: 21 for vehicles valued over $20,000, 25 for Deluxe, and 30 for Super Deluxe, Classic, and Specialty. Drivers ages 18–24 pay a young driver fee.
Do you need your own insurance to rent an iQ?

Can you get a discount on an iQ rental?

Do iQ rentals on Turo include unlimited mileage?

Can other people drive the iQ I rent?
Yes. You can add up to eight additional drivers to your iQ trip in the Turo app. Each driver needs approval and must meet the age and license requirements, and you, as the primary driver, handle pickup and return.

No. The 2015 model year was the iQ's last in the US, and the Scion brand ended in 2016. You can still rent an iQ on Turo, though availability varies by location.
* 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.
