Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class rental: a hardtop roadster for open-air days
Drive a SLC-Class
A Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class rental puts you in a two-seat hardtop roadster whose final US model year was 2020. The SLC-Class succeeded the SLK-Class, and it's a sharp pick if you want a compact Mercedes-Benz rental with the roof on your terms.
On Turo, you book the exact SLC-Class you see from a local vehicle owner — no "or similar" surprises. Pick your dates, choose pickup and drop-off that fit your plans, and claim the driver's seat.

Turbocharged power with rear-wheel balance
The SLC 300 pairs a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 with a nine-speed automatic, sending 241 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. That rear-wheel-drive setup gives you a lively, balanced feel on every on-ramp and curve. If you want more, the AMG SLC 43 steps up to a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 making 385 hp — the high-performance version of the roadster.
Power retractable hardtop and open-air design
The SLC-Class gives you two moods in one car: a snug, closed cabin with the roof up and an open-air roadster with it down. Its power retractable hardtop folds away using the car's controls, so you can trade shelter for sunshine whenever the sky cooperates.
Some cars also come with the available active polarized glass roof, which keeps a view of the sky overhead even with the top closed. Features vary by car, so check the listing to see what your SLC-Class includes — then plan your sunny stretches around it.
AIRSCARF comfort for cooler drives
AIRSCARF stretches top-down season well past summer. This neck-level heating wraps warm air around your neck and shoulders, so a cool evening doesn't have to end with the roof up. It's the detail you'll appreciate most once the sun dips.
Dual power front seats let you and your passenger each dial in your own position before you pull away. Together, they turn a breezy coastal sunset or a crisp fall morning into an invitation instead of a reason to raise the top.
Stand out with a SLC-Class
The SLC-Class suits couples, weekend escapes, coastal drives, and special occasions — any trip where the drive is part of the plan. With two seats and 10.1 cu ft of cargo space, it rewards light packing. Compare it with other convertible rentals on Turo to find the open-air ride that fits your trip.
Top SLC-Class features
SLK heritage and final-year appeal
Three things set the SLC-Class apart: its SLK heritage and final-year appeal, its handling and ride, and its everyday efficiency.
The SLC-Class is the successor to the SLK-Class, carrying the compact hardtop-roadster formula forward under a new name. The 2020 model year was its last in the US, so every SLC-Class you find today is a final-chapter car.
That makes each SLC-Class on Turo a chance to drive a roadster Mercedes no longer builds. A rental lets you live with one for a weekend — top down, two seats, and no long-term commitment. It's a low-pressure way to experience the SLK lineage firsthand, from the first top-down mile to the last.
Handling and ride
The SLC-Class feels quick on its feet without beating you up. US News praises its quick steering and a suspension that stays planted in turns yet still absorbs bumps.
Its compact footprint helps too, making tight city streets and crowded parking garages less of a puzzle. You get a roadster that's composed on a winding coastal road and easygoing on the drive back to your hotel. That balance means you can enjoy the fun stretches without dreading the commute between them.
Everyday efficiency
The SLC-Class keeps the fun from draining your budget at every gas station. The SLC 300 earns 23 city and 32 highway mpg, so a long weekend drive stays practical. Plan on premium fuel, the recommended grade, when you map out trip costs.
Thoughtful design details round out the package. Standard 17-inch alloy wheels give it a planted stance, while LED daytime running lights and taillights add a crisp, modern signature. It's a roadster that looks polished parked at a hotel valet or pulling up to a dinner reservation.

Top tips and things to know before renting a SLC-Class
Get to know your SLC-Class
A little prep — packing smart, learning the roof, and checking the listing — makes your SLC-Class trip easier.
The SLC-Class seats two and offers 10.1 cu ft of cargo space, so pack soft bags that squeeze into tight spaces. Hard-shell suitcases can be a tough fit.
Need room for more people or gear? A Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon rental gives you SUV space, while a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter rental fits bigger groups. You can also browse luxury and exotic cars for more standout picks.
SLC-Class driving tips
Raise or lower the hardtop only while you're parked, using the car's controls as directed. On cool evenings, switch on AIRSCARF to keep a top-down drive comfortable. Fill up with premium fuel, the recommended grade for the SLC 300.
How much does it cost to rent a SLC-Class?
The cost of a SLC-Class rental depends on location, dates, and trip length, since local vehicle owners set their own prices. Check listings for the current daily price in your area.
Planning a longer stay? Some listings offer discounts on longer trips, and long-term car rental lets you keep a car for weeks or months.

* 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 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.
