Rent a car and explore Newport, RI
Newport was once the seaside playground for New York and Boston’s wealthiest families, leaving a legacy of stunning architecture and coastal charm. Known as the “Sailing Capital of America,” the city has hosted the America’s Cup 12 times, and its picturesque harbor is alive with regattas throughout the year. With a rental car, you can explore both the famed landmarks and hidden corners that make Newport a quintessential New England destination.
Rent the perfect car
Some of the most famous and opulent mansions in America can be found in Newport, and many of them are located on Bellevue Avenue. Families like the Vanderbilts, Astors and Rockefellers are synonymous with the Gilded Age, and Newport is where they built some of their most impressive homes. Historic mansions like Marble House, the Elms, Rosecliff and Chateau-Sur-Mer have been beautifully restored, and you can visit all of them in a rental car.
As you leave downtown, you’ll notice Newport Casino, a striking shingle-style building with a green roof. Inside, the International Tennis Hall of Fame preserves around 30,000 artifacts that trace the sport’s history from the 12th century to today, including racquets and trophies once used by its 270 inductees. Each July, the Hall of Fame Open brings professional tennis back to the historic grass courts for a lively summer spectacle.
Thames Street is the vibrant heart of Newport's beautiful downtown area. Its impressive colonial buildings are filled with interesting boutiques and gourmet restaurants, and you'll catch glimpses of Newport Harbor as you stroll. The Brick Market and Bowen's Wharf are popular shopping and dining destinations, or you could visit the Museum of Newport or the Sailing Museum to learn more about the area's maritime heritage.

You can even use an extended test drive as an excuse for a romantic weekend in Newport.

Pickup near or at Airports
Navigating historic Newport can be tricky if you’re used to cities with grid-style streets. You can find cars and SUVs with large navigation displays on Turo, which makes getting around Newport a lot easier. Here are some other helpful tips to make the most of your Rhode Island road trip.
Newport is a compact city that welcomes over three million visitors annually, so expect heavier traffic in the summer months, especially on cobblestone streets and the Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge, the main route in and out of the city. Most intersections allow right turns on red, and you can dial 511 for real-time updates on traffic and weather-related congestion.
Parking is generally manageable, though popular spots near Bellevue Avenue and the Cliff Walk fill up quickly during peak season. Parking options like street meters on Thames Street and America’s Cup Avenue charge $1.50–$2 per hour, payable via cash, card, or the Passport Parking app. Many historic sites offer free parking lots, and the Gateway Center has over 500 spaces for easy access to downtown.
While Newport itself has no toll roads, the Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge requires a $4 cashless toll to enter or exit the city. Payment is fully electronic. You can pay via an E-ZPass or a NexPass-linked license plate. If neither option is used, the toll is billed by mail.
Most gas stations are located outside the historic district along or near JT Connell Highway and are often open 24/7. Electric vehicle drivers will find multiple charging options, including ChargePoint stations on Marlborough, Friendship, and Leroy streets, Tesla Destination chargers on Mary Street and Goat Island Road, and a Shell Recharge on JT Connell Highway.
Having a rental car lets you explore Newport at your own pace without relying on public transportation. You can easily visit attractions within the city, like the Cliff Walk and Bellevue Avenue, or venture farther to Providence and other Rhode Island towns. With your own wheels, every hidden harbor view and historic alleyway is within reach.

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive.

We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.
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.
