Drive a Tesla

The future is here, and it’s electric

When it comes to electric vehicles, one name still rises above the rest: Tesla Motors. The California-based automaker gets all the buzz because they’ve proven that EVs can be appealing, exciting, and powerful.

Driving a Tesla is a wonderful experience and wholly different from the traditional rental vehicle experience. Sample the pioneer of the EV revolution yourself and rent a Tesla model right here on Turo.

The ultimate in EV

Tesla is the biggest name in electric vehicles because they were the first to make them appealing to the masses. They’ve won car buyers over with impressive battery range, cutting-edge tech, and a novelty factor that still hasn’t worn off.

Tesla Supercharger network

The Tesla Supercharger network offers some of the best electric car charging speeds. Tesla Superchargers can be found at locations across nearly all major markets and are specifically compatible with Tesla vehicles, so if you’re short on time, bring your Tesla rental to a Supercharger.

Mind-blowing speed

Long gone are the days of small puttering EVs. Tesla vehicles are some of the quickest-accelerating production cars on the planet, thanks to instant electric torque from their giant batteries — especially with Ludicrous Mode.

Top Tesla rental models

Tesla Cybertruck

Tesla’s hotly anticipated retro-futuristic electric pickup truck is full of tricks, toy-like looks, and plenty of power — the 845-horsepower Cyberbeast is one of the quickest vehicles on the road. When it comes to EV rentals, the Cybertruck is surely one of the most exciting options out there.

Tesla Model 3

The smallest and most affordable Tesla is the Model 3. This compact sedan comes at an accessible price, but the long range model has one of the best battery ranges of all electric cars. The Tesla Model 3 Performance ranks among the best EVs available to rent and can accelerate to 60 in 3.2 seconds!

Tesla Model X

Falcon wing doors! There’s a lot to love about Tesla’s incredibly fast and exceptionally capable electric SUV, but besides the P100D’s Ludicrous Mode acceleration and top speed, the Tesla Model X’s dramatic falcon wing doors are the most exciting party piece.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to book a car on Turo?

To rent a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, be 18 years old or older in the US, 21 years old or older in the UK, 23 years old or older in Canada, have a valid driver’s license, and get approved to drive on Turo. In France you must be 18 years old or older and have held a driver’s license for at least two 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 future road trips, business trips, and family vacations!

Do I need my own insurance?

No, you don’t need personal insurance coverage to book 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 protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland. When renting a car in the US, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier, Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of coverage that’s right for you. With each plan, 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, 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.

When booking a car in Canada, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier, Standard, or Minimum — and with each plan, you’re covered with liability insurance purchased from Economical Insurance Company in Alberta, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Quebec, and Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) in British Columbia — up to $2,000,000 for all plans.***

When renting a car in the United Kingdom, you’ll also choose between the Premier, Standard, and Minimum protection plans. Each plan includes different limits of financial responsibility for physical damage. Protection plans are not insurance; they are an agreement between Turo and guests about financial responsibility if there is damage to the host’s vehicle during a trip.

Distinct from protection plans, all trips come with third-party auto liability insurance from ERS (Syndicate 218 at Lloyd’s) managed by IQUW Syndicate Management Limited, arranged via Turo’s broker Lockton Companies LLP. IQUW and Lockton are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

How do I get discounts when renting a car?

On your Account page, make sure you’ve checked the box to receive email notifications, and enable push notifications from the Turo app in your phone settings — we’ll send you occasional promotions, discounts, and deals!

Additionally, frequent travelers in the United States can get rewarded with the loyalty bonus — earn a promo code for one bonus day when you take trips totaling 10 days in a 90-day period!**

**Learn how the loyalty bonus works

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. Additionally, hosts can offer “early bird” discounts for trips booked a week or more in advance. So, get the best deals and lowest rates possible by booking longer trips, at least a week in advance.

How can I drive unlimited miles during my trip on Turo?

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. 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 small cancellation fee.

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 rental marketplace where you can rent directly from trusted local car owners in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and France. Turo does not own any vehicles — Turo hosts share their own personal cars and set their own prices, discounts, vehicle availability, and delivery options.

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. The primary driver must be present to pick up the rental car.

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.

Are there Teslas available near the airport?

Yes, there are Teslas available on Turo at locations near airports across the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and France. To save time and hassle, skip the airport rental car counter and have your Tesla rental delivered to you. Set your hotel or the address of your vacation rental as your pickup location, and after arriving at your destination at the airport, take a taxi, Uber, Lyft, or shuttle service to the vehicle’s location.

What Tesla models can I rent on Turo?

Browse a wide selection of Tesla rental vehicles for all kinds of occasions and budgets on Turo. Use the “Vehicle makes” filter to search through all available Tesla vehicles in your area, or use the “Vehicle models” filter to find and rent a specific Tesla model like the Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck. For the lowest prices, use the “budget-friendly” filter to browse economy options.

Can I rent a Tesla on Turo to test drive before deciding to buy or lease?

Yes, Turo is the perfect car rental platform for anyone trying to buy a Tesla or lease a Tesla, who wants to test drive different models. By renting a Tesla on Turo, you can get a comprehensive feel for any available Tesla model before you go to the dealership. Test driving a Tesla rental on Turo will be a great help in making an informed decision on whether to buy or lease a Tesla.

How long does it take to charge a Tesla?

Charge time for a Tesla depends on a few factors, most notably the model of Tesla, its battery capacity, and the type of charging used.

If you need to add lots of range quickly, head to a Tesla Supercharger station, part of the Tesla-exclusive charging network that boasts multiple station locations in virtually all major markets and is specifically compatible with Tesla cars. Superchargers provide Level 3 charging (the fastest charge time), which can add 200 miles of range in 15 minutes, and fill most Teslas to full battery capacity in under 40 minutes. If you plan your journey, mini road trip, or day trip properly, find a Supercharger location for the quickest experience charging your Tesla rental over an entire trip.

Typical charging needs can be fulfilled with the more common Level 2 charging, the type used by third-party networks (like Electrify America, ChargePoint, or EVgo) for a price, and by any business featuring Tesla’s Destination Chargers. Level 2 charging can typically refill a Tesla overnight — figure it taking six to 12 hours. Choosing Level 2 costs less and prolongs battery life.

For the lightest needs, Teslas come with a standard cable that can plug into any common household outlet for Level 1 charging, which only adds about three miles per hour.
