Precision, perfectly balanced

Drive a 718 Cayman

The 718 Cayman is a two-seat coupe with its engine mounted behind the seats, so it turns in sharply and changes direction as one piece. If you want a Porsche rental that rewards every corner, this is the one to book — every input feels direct.

On Turo, the car rental marketplace, you book your 718 Cayman from a local vehicle owner. Choose pickup or delivery where offered, and set dates that fit your plans.

718 Cayman specs

Horsepower

300 hp

Torque

280 lb-ft

Top speed

171 mph

Weight

3,104 lbs

Mid-engine balance, turbocharged punch

The 718 Cayman pairs a mid-mounted 2.0L turbocharged flat-four with rear-wheel drive, delivering 300 hp and 280 lb-ft. With the engine between the axles, the weight stays centered — so the car feels planted and composed as you link one curve to the next.

Your choice of manual or PDK

You can row your own gears or let the car shift for you. The six-speed manual comes standard, and the seven-speed PDK dual-clutch is optional — so the 718 Cayman you book could have either one.

The manual suits drivers who love a clutch pedal and a hands-on connection to every shift. PDK suits you if you'd rather skip the footwork, whether you're inching through city traffic or cruising an open highway. Before you book, check the listing to confirm which transmission the car has — it shapes how every mile of your trip feels.

Two trunks and up to 24 mpg

The 718 Cayman carries more than you'd expect from a two-seater: 15.0 cu ft of cargo split across front and rear trunks. That's enough for a weekend's worth of soft bags — duffels tuck into odd corners far better than hard-shell suitcases.

Fuel stops stay reasonable, too. With PDK, the EPA rates the 718 Cayman at up to 24 mpg combined (21 city / 27 hwy). That way, a long scenic loop doesn't have to revolve around the gas station, and you spend more of the day behind the wheel.

Stand out with a 718 Cayman

The 718 Cayman is the coupe of a mid-engine pair, and it turns an ordinary weekend into an occasion. Point it toward a scenic coastal road or a winding canyon, mark an anniversary, or plan a weekend escape for two. Want to compare options first? Browse more exotic and luxury car rentals.

Top 718 Cayman features

A storied name: 718 heritage

Three details define the 718 Cayman: a storied 718 name, a fixed-roof coupe design, and its place as the final chapter of a gas icon.

The 718 Cayman carries a name with history behind it. The 982 generation, introduced for the 2017 model year, revived the 718 name and changed what powers the car.

That generation switched from flat-six engines to turbocharged flat-fours. In the base 718 Cayman, you get a 2.0L turbo flat-four making 300 hp and 280 lb-ft, mounted in the middle of the car. When you rent one, you're driving the generation that wrote the modern 718 chapter — a coupe that pairs a heritage badge with a turbocharged heart.

Fixed-roof coupe design

The 718 Cayman wears a hardtop silhouette, and its proportions show you exactly where the engine lives. Side intakes ahead of the rear wheels feed the mid-mounted engine, giving the profile a purposeful stance.

It's the closed-roof counterpart to its open-top sibling, with a cabin built around two seats. That shape also makes room for two trunks — one up front and one in back. Park it at a coastal overlook or a hotel entrance, and the coupe's lines do the talking for you.

The final chapter of a gas icon

The gas-powered 718 Cayman has reached the end of its run in the US. The 2025 model year was the final one for the US market, and production ended in October 2025.

That makes a rental your chance to drive the last of the gas-powered 718 Cayman — the mid-engine coupe in its final form. Book one for a weekend and savor the turbo flat-four while you still can. To compare it with other driver-focused cars, explore sports car rentals on Turo.

The car was perfect - and all the more special in manual. The engine noise behind your head from the 4 liter is unforgettable, and now that I am back home I am definitely missing it. Jonathan was easy to work with and did everything he said he would. That in itself is saying something today. I definitely enjoyed the rental and hope that it’s around the next time I’m in LA.

I was surprised that this was a virtually brand new car. The car handles very well and is beautiful. Only take note that it supports only wired CarPlay, no Android Auto support. The Host is very responsive and friendly. Highly recommended.

Great car. Have driven many sports cars and these mid-engine caymans are the most fun around the city. Very tight turning abilities, plenty fast, and great on fuel. Val was extremely polite and very understanding. I am definitely rebooking when I get a chance! My favorite Turo experience thus far 🙏🏽🙂‍↕️

Top tips and things to know before renting a 718 Cayman

decorative separator

Get to know your 718 Cayman

Plan around two seats, a low ride height, and listing-specific details, and your 718 Cayman trip stays simple.

The 718 Cayman seats two and carries luggage in two trunks, so pack soft bags instead of rigid suitcases. If you need rear seats or more power, consider a Porsche 911 rental instead.

Heading to a major city? Browse Porsche rentals in Los Angeles or Porsche cars in Miami to see what local vehicle owners offer.

718 Cayman driving tips

Start by confirming the transmission in the listing, since a 718 Cayman can have the six-speed manual or PDK. The car sits low, so take steep driveways and speed bumps slowly. Planning a long scenic drive? Check the listing's included miles before you go.

How much does it cost to rent a 718 Cayman?

The price of a 718 Cayman rental depends on model year, trim, trip length, extras, and delivery. Each listing shows its own price, so compare a few before you book.

You can save in a couple of ways. Non-refundable trips booked four or more days ahead get 10% off, and many listings offer three-day, weekly, and monthly discounts. For trips of 30 days or longer, explore long-term car rental on Turo.

  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.
