Meet me in St. Louis

St. Louis is both a sophisticated, historic city and a casual gathering place. With a rich blues and jazz history and a blossoming arts scene, its spirited nightlife can hold its own against any city in the U.S.

In addition to BBQ and high dining, the city is known for unique snacks like St. Louis style pizza, fried ravioli, and frozen custard. After a dinner reservation, head away from the bustling streets of the metropolis for rolling green vistas nestled on either side of the Mississippi River.

Saint Louis favorites

Famous for its landmarks and free museums, St. Louis is full of novelties.

purple lines

The Gateway Arch

This gleaming monument to the Great Plains frontiersmen is, to put it modestly, iconic, and still the largest steel arch in the world. Head to Gateway Arch National Park and take a tram ride to the top for spectacular aerial views of the city.

Forest Park

Encompassing 1,300 acres, Forest Park offers more than just natural beauty: with gardens, museums, a zoo, a golf course, and an amphitheatre. Pack a picnic, because you can easily spend a whole day in the park.

City Museum

A repurposed shoelace warehouse, the City Museum is a hybrid playground art project. PIecing together old industrial equipment, local artists have created an imaginative theme park with a 10-story slide, caves, and a castle.

Rent cars in St. Louis, MO

Hit the road

While Saint Louis itself is endlessly fascinating, the surrounding area holds impressive geologic formations, natural beauty, and a literary pilgrimage site. Whether you’re in the mood for swimming, spelunking, or visiting the childhood home of Mark Twain, chances are you’ll find all that and more when you take to the streets in search of road trip adventures.

Rent the perfect car
Way better than a rental car

Meramec Caverns

About an hour from Saint Louis, this five-mile system of underground caves once served as a shelter for Native Americans and a hideout for the outlaw Jesse James. Today, they’re still one of the most intriguing natural marvels near St. Louis.

Hannibal

Just over two hours up Highway 61 is Mark Twain’s boyhood home: Hannibal. Explore Twain’s childhood home and visit the accompanying museum, then float the Mississippi River a la Huckleberry Finn. You can also take a train ride or ghost tour in this quaint historic town.

Johnson’s Shut-Ins

Two hours south of the city, natural pools formed in granite rocks make for a perfect swimming destination. Known as Johnson’s Shut-Ins, the pools were created long ago by volcanic activity. Waterfalls and rapids make this more than simply a relaxing swim spot, though it certainly is that too.

The host was phenomenal. The car itself was so great my daughter decided that’s the type of car she wants for herself. I’m so glad he could accommodate me with dropping the vehicle off to help me have more time to get things handled at such a last minute. Communicated with me effectively and respectfully. Very nice guy!

Roy and his son, Ben, were excellent hosts. Terrific, timely communication and very flexible to accommodate a different pick up and drop off location. Also, we met at a mutually agreed meeting place near the airport and then dropped me off at my terminal. The car was in excellent condition as well. I highly recommend Roy.

Best Saint Louis driving roads

Purple squiggle

Great River Road

This famous drive winds from downtown St. Louis up toward Alton, IL. True to its name, it provides great views of the mighty Mississippi River. Following the road to its end takes you through 10 states and along 3,000 miles of the Mississippi, but a short drive also shows you gorgeous scenery.

Route 66

Get your kicks on this historic route that passes through St. Louis on its way from Chicago to LA. A drive along the Missouri part of Route 66 takes you right past the Meramec Caves and Shaw’s Nature Preserve.

Lone Elk Park

If you’re prepared to drive slowly, a gentle cruise through Lone Elk Park often reveals deer, bison, racoons, and, yes, elk. Along with a plethora of wildlife, you’ll enjoy scenic views of the lake and forested hills.

Frequently asked questions in St. Louis

What do I need to rent a car on Turo?

To rent a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, have a valid driver’s license, get approved to drive on Turo, and be 18 years old or older in the US, 21 years old or older in Australia, or 23 years old or older in Canada.

In the UK, you must be 21 years old or older and have held a UK or EU license for at least one year, or another driver’s license for at least two years. In France, you must be 18 years old or older and have held a driver’s license for at least 2 years, longer for certain makes and models of vehicles.

When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver’s license and some other information. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for all future road trips, day trips, and business trips!

Do I need my own insurance?

No, you don’t need personal insurance coverage to rent a car on Turo.

In the US, any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your Turo protection plan. When booking a car in the US, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier (eligibility requirements apply), Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of protection that’s right for you. On each trip, you’re covered with third-party automobile liability insurance provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company.*

In New York state, you’ll also choose between Premier (if available), Standard, or Minimum. With each plan, you’re covered with liability insurance of $1,250,000.* Protection plans for New York trips also include access to roadside assistance, priority phone support, and 24/7 customer assistance.

What protection plan options are available on Turo?

When booking a car on Turo, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier, Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of coverage that’s right for you.

How do I get discounts on cars in St. Louis?

Are there discounts on weekly or monthly trips?

Yes, many Turo hosts offer discounted prices when you book trips lasting 3+, 7+, or 30+ days, so you can get the best deals and lowest rates possible by booking longer trips.

What types of cars can I book in Saint Louis?

Browse a wide selection of vehicles for all kinds of occasions and budgets on Turo. Find a full-size SUV for a family road trip, a pickup truck for some errands, or a sporty convertible for a special night out in St. Louis. For the lowest prices, use the “budget-friendly” filter to browse economy vehicles.

How can I drive unlimited miles during my trip to St. Louis?

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

What payment methods does Turo accept?

Turo accepts most credit cards issued by major financial institutions, including American Express and Discover cards, as well as debit cards with a Visa or Mastercard logo that are linked to a checking account.

Apple Pay and Google Pay on mobile devices are also accepted, but Turo does not accept cash or checks as valid payment methods.

What is the cancellation policy for guests on Turo?

You can cancel and get a full refund up to 24 hours before your trip starts, unless you opt to receive a non-refundable trip discount when you book. If you book a trip with less than 24 hours’ notice, you have one hour after booking to cancel free of charge. If you cancel after the free cancellation period ends, you will be charged a cancellation fee.

In the rare event a host cancels, you’ll be notified immediately so you can book another car, or we’ll help you find one. Your refund can be temporarily held to expedite rebooking, or the funds can be returned to your bank account — your choice.

What are the cleaning and safety policies on Turo?

Under the enhanced cleaning policy, hosts are required to clean and disinfect their vehicles thoroughly before every trip, so you can feel safe and comfortable behind the wheel. Turo hosts have access to training materials on enhanced cleaning practices, using the latest recommendations compiled from the CDC, EPA, WHO, and vehicle detailing experts, to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Is Turo a rental car company?

No. Unlike rental car companies, Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where you can book directly from trusted local car owners in the US, Canada, and the UK. Turo does not own any vehicles — Turo hosts share their own personal cars and set their own prices, discounts, vehicle availability, and delivery options.

Are there cars available near the Saint Louis airport?

Yes, there are hundreds of cars available on Turo at locations near the St. Louis airport. After arriving at the Lambert-St Louis Airport (STL Airport) or the MidAmerica St. Louis Airport (BLV Airport), skip the rental counter and have your car rental alternative delivered for pick-up and dropoff at your St. Louis hotel or the address of your vacation rental to save time and hassle.

Is there a fee to add additional drivers to my trip?

There is no fee or additional charge for adding a driver to your trip on Turo. Only the guest who booked the trip (primary driver) can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add authorized drivers before your trip starts, though guests in the US and Canada can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress with no extra charges.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

What types of sports cars, luxury cars, or exotics can I book in Saint Louis?

You can find nearly endless options for sports cars, luxury car rental, and high-performance exotics on Turo. Filter your search by category, vehicle type, or vehicle make to refine your results, or try the “Deluxe Class” and “Super Deluxe Class” filters to browse high-end luxury car rental alternatives near St. Louis.

What’s the best way to get to the Westin Hotel?

The best and most convenient way to get to the Westin Hotel is by booking a car on Turo, so you can get to and from the hotel on your own time. About 20 minutes from the Lambert/St Louis Intl Airport, the Westin Hotel is conveniently located in downtown St. Louis, close to many businesses and a number of convention centers, as well as the Busch Stadium and the United States Courthouse. That makes it a great place to stay if you're visiting St. Louis on a business trip.

* 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 that is included in protection plans, 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.
