Drive a Prius Plug-In
The Prius Plug-In gives you up to 44 miles of quiet electric driving for daily errands, then switches to hybrid mode for longer trips — up to 600 miles of total range on the SE. With 220 hp, it brings real pep to your shortlist of Toyota car rentals.
On Turo, you book your Prius Plug-In from a local vehicle owner on our car rental marketplace and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans.

Quick, quiet electric power
The Prius Plug-In makes 220 hp combined by pairing a 2.0L four-cylinder engine with two electric motors. In Edmunds testing, it ran 0–60 mph in 7.0 seconds, and the electric motors deliver instant response the moment you press the pedal. Power flows to the front wheels through a CVT, so acceleration feels smooth and steady.
Plug-in charging made simple
Charging the Prius Plug-In fits around your schedule. Its 13.6 kWh lithium-ion battery refills in about four hours on a Level 2 (240V) charger or about 11 hours on a standard household outlet. Plug in at a Level 2 charger overnight, and you'll wake up ready for a full day of electric errands.
One thing to know: the Prius Plug-In doesn't support DC fast charging, so plan around Level 2 stations or an outlet instead of quick highway top-ups. The payoff is efficiency — up to 127 MPGe combined on electric power. Charging equipment varies, so check the listing before your trip.
Tech and driver-assist features
Every Prius Plug-In comes with an eight-inch touchscreen, and some trims step up to a 12.3-inch display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, so your maps, playlists, and messages connect without a cable.
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 comes standard too, bundling adaptive cruise control, lane-departure alert with steering assist, and pre-collision with pedestrian detection. Add Blind Spot Monitor — standard on the SE — and you've got an extra set of eyes for highway merges, tight parking garages, and busy city lanes.
Stand out with a Prius Plug-In
The Prius Plug-In gives you electric commuting without range anxiety. Cover city stays and daily commutes on battery power, then let the hybrid system take over on road trips where chargers are hard to find. It's a smart middle ground if you're curious about electric vehicle rentals but want gas backup for longer drives.
Top Prius Plug-In features
Sleek, aerodynamic design
Three standouts set it apart: a sleek, aerodynamic design, hybrid efficiency for the long haul, and a practical cargo and cabin setup.
The Prius Plug-In looks quick even when it's parked. Its low, sleek liftback silhouette slips through the air, and Bi-LED headlights give the front end a sharp, modern face that stands out in any parking garage.
XSE grades roll on 19-inch wheels, and an available fixed glass roof fills the cabin with daylight. On the XSE Premium, a solar charging roof puts the sun to work while you drive or park. Every curve has a job: helping the Prius Plug-In stretch each mile of battery and each gallon of gas.
Hybrid efficiency for the long haul
Once the battery runs down, the Prius Plug-In keeps going as a hybrid and returns up to 52 mpg combined. Pair that with up to 600 miles of total range on the SE, and a long weekend drive starts to look a lot easier.
You never need to stop for a charge to keep moving — fill up at any gas station and carry on. That makes the Prius Plug-In a strong fit for road trips through areas where chargers are scarce. Charge when it's convenient, and let the hybrid system handle the rest.
Practical cargo and cabin
The Prius Plug-In seats five and gives you 20.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. That's room for carry-ons, groceries, or a weekend's worth of bags without crowding your passengers.
Need more space? Fold the 60/40 split rear seats, and cargo room grows to 26.7 cubic feet. The split lets you carry longer items on one side while a passenger rides comfortably on the other. It's a flexible setup for airport runs, family visits, and all the vacation gear you'd rather not leave behind.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Prius Plug-In
Get to know your Prius Plug-In
A little prep goes a long way with a plug-in hybrid. Here's what to check before and during your trip.
Yes, the Prius Plug-In is a plug-in hybrid. It runs on electric power for up to 44 miles, then switches to hybrid mode with its gas engine. Check the trim on your listing before you book — the SE offers up to 44 miles of electric range and an eight-inch touchscreen, while XSE grades offer 39 miles and a larger available screen.
If you'd rather skip the plug, a Toyota Prius rental gives you the classic hybrid experience. For more room, a Toyota Camry rental offers midsize sedan comfort, and a Toyota Highlander rental adds SUV space for family trips.

* 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.
