A small car with a big appetite for miles

Drive a Yaris

The Yaris is a subcompact sedan or hatchback, and it was the smallest car in the brand's US lineup. That compact frame makes this Toyota rental easy to park on crowded blocks and in tight parking garages.

Booking a Toyota Yaris car rental on Turo means you choose the exact car (year, body style, and transmission) from a local vehicle owner. US sales of the Yaris ended after the 2020 model year, so the Yaris rentals you'll find on Turo are 2020 or earlier models.

Fuel-sipping efficiency, mile after mile

The Yaris stretches every gallon. Its 1.5L four-cylinder engine earns an EPA rating of 35 mpg combined with the automatic, and a Cars.com tester saw 42.6 mpg in real-world driving. That's fewer stops at the gas station and more time for the trip you planned.

Playful handling and quick steering

The Yaris rewards you with nimble moves around town. US News praised its playful handling and quick steering, so tight corners, quick lane changes, and crowded downtown streets feel light under your hands.

Be realistic about highway power, though. US News also found the Yaris slow when merging onto the highway and passing other cars. Give yourself extra space before you pull out around slower traffic, and pick your moment on busy on-ramps. Around town, you'll enjoy the agility. On the interstate, a little planning keeps every pass smooth and calm.

Six-speed manual or automatic

You can drive a Yaris with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic. The manual came standard, the automatic was available, and US News called the automatic refined.

On Turo, each listing shows the transmission, so you choose the one that fits how you like to drive. Love shifting for yourself? Look for a manual in the listing details. Rather relax in stop-and-go traffic? Book an automatic, which also carries the higher EPA rating at 35 mpg combined (the manual sedan comes in at 34 mpg combined).

Stand out with a Yaris

The Yaris shines on city trips, daily commutes, and errands that end in tight parking spots. It's a smart match for budget-minded solo travelers and couples who'd rather spend less on gas and more on the trip itself. Compare it with other compact car rental options on Turo to find the right fit for your plans.

Top Yaris features

Two body styles to choose from

Three things set the Yaris apart: two body styles, a city-size footprint, and a light build that keeps fill-ups small.

The Yaris comes as a sedan or a hatchback, so you can match the shape to your trip. The sedan gives you 13.5 cubic feet of cargo space in a traditional trunk.

The hatchback bumps cargo room to 15.9 cubic feet, which gives you a little extra space for bags and gear. Each Yaris listing on Turo shows its body style, so you'll know exactly what you're booking before you pay. Pick the sedan when you want a classic trunk, or grab the hatchback when you're packing a bit more for the trip ahead.

A city-size footprint

The Yaris was the smallest car the brand sold in the US, and that size pays off every time you park. Narrow streets, packed neighborhood blocks, and cramped parking garages all feel more manageable in a car this compact.

That small footprint matters most in dense cities, where street parking is scarce and every inch counts. You'll slide into spots that larger sedans and SUVs have to pass up. Book a Yaris for busy downtown districts, tight curbside spaces, or a hotel garage with snug turns, and spend less time circling the block.

Light weight and a small tank

The Yaris weighs about 2,400 lbs, and its fuel tank holds about 11.6–12 gallons. Put those together and fill-ups stay small, which keeps your gas budget in check from the first day of your trip.

That small tank pairs well with the Yaris's 35 mpg combined rating with the automatic. A modest tank also means you won't spend long at the pump. Top off, pay, and get back to the plans that brought you here, whether that's a client meeting, a family visit, or a weekend getaway.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Yaris

decorative separator

Get to know your Yaris

A few quick checks before you book help you pick the right Yaris and pack for it.

Start with the listing, which shows the body style and transmission. Some Yaris rentals on Turo are manual, so confirm both details before you book.

Need more space? A Toyota Camry rental gives you a roomier sedan, while a Toyota Highlander rental adds three-row space for families. For SUV comfort on longer drives, try a Toyota 4Runner rental.

Yaris driving tips

Plan your merges, pack light, and match the seating to your group. Keep these tips in mind:

Plan highway merges early, since the Yaris takes just over 10 seconds to reach 60 mph.

Pack light, since the sedan holds 13.5 cubic feet of cargo and the hatchback holds 15.9 cubic feet.

Seat up to five people, but plan on fewer adults for the most comfortable ride.

How much does it cost to rent a Yaris?

Yaris rental prices on Turo vary by location, trip dates, and model year. To find current prices near you, enter your city and dates, then compare Yaris listings side by side.

Some listings offer discounts for longer trips, so a weekly booking or a long-term car rental may lower your overall cost. Ready to compare? Search for cars and check Yaris prices in your area.

  1. * 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.

  2. 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.
