Top tips for renting a luxury car in Louisville


Take a few minutes before you put the rental in drive to learn all of its settings and controls. Luxury rentals typically feature advanced settings for drive modes, suspension, and other performance features.


Louisville streets can be tight in several areas, so be extra careful when turning and squeezing into lanes. You don't want to risk scraping your luxury rental.


Also, since luxury vehicles, especially sports cars and exotic cars, often come with more horsepower, you'll need to ease onto the gas when you accelerate. This is a great way to stay in control as you adjust to the car’s power.


When filling up at the gas station, be aware of the fuel grade. Many high-end vehicles require premium gas, so you'll need to plan ahead to make sure you go to stations offering 91 or 93 octane.


What is parking a luxury car like in Louisville?


Be mindful when pulling into parking garages. Larger rentals like a Cadillac Escalade or Mercedes GLS can present clearance issues if you don’t check height restrictions first. You may also need to allow yourself more room when pulling into tight parking spots downtown.


When you go to places like The Brown Hotel or Fourth Street Live!, you can take advantage of valet parking. This removes the need to circle busy downtown blocks just to find a parking place.


How to choose the perfect luxury car for your Louisville trip


Always match your rental to your travel plans. If you're coming to Louisville to attend the Kentucky Derby, you might want a Cadillac Escalade or Mercedes GLS; both of these options come with plenty of room for up to seven people. When your trip to Louisville includes bourbon distillery tours or business meetings, getting a BMW 7 Series or Audi A8 is an excellent way to make sure you have comfort and sophistication. High-end rental options like the Porsche 911 or Tesla Model S are ideal for scenic River Road drives or nights out downtown. Other factors to consider include luggage capacity, tech features like navigation, safety systems like blind spot monitoring, and fuel type.


Great driving roads around Louisville


Louisville is a beautiful city, full of rolling hills and riverfront scenery. Taking River Road over to Prospect will give you gorgeous panoramic views of the Ohio River and wooded bluffs. Heading to Cherokee Park on Lexington Road and going west toward Bardstown Road offers breathtaking vistas of tree-lined parkways and historic neighborhoods. Other routes that deliver scenic charm include Eastern Parkway, Frankfort Avenue, and Southern Parkway.

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.
