The future is electric
Hire a Tesla and zip near-soundlessly across Australia. From the Model S to the roomy Model Y, it’s hard not to be wooed and won over by Tesla’s luxury appeal. When it comes to electric vehicles in Australia, Tesla is the top brand because they’ve won car buyers over with impressive driving range, innovative features, performance on par with sports cars from major automakers, and a novelty factor that still hasn’t worn off.
Enter a date and location in Australia and browse thousands of Teslas shared by local hosts.
Book on the Turo app or online, choose a protection plan, and say hi to your host! Cancel for free up to 24 hours before your trip, and get discounts if you book early or for a longer duration!
Have the Tesla delivered or pick it up from your host. Check in with the app, grab the keys, and hit the roads of Australia!
Curious about all the Tesla hype? Want to sample the Tesla driving experience and find out what it's like to live with an electric vehicle? Surging popularity means there are plenty of Tesla models to choose from on Turo, throughout Australia. Plan ahead to bag an early bird discount, and hiring a Tesla on Turo might not be as much as you think.
As the smallest and most affordable Tesla, there’s so much to love about the Model 3 — where to start? The lightning-quick performance? The all-glass roof? The minimalist interior? If you’re wondering about charging, the Model 3 recharges to 172 miles in just 15 minutes at a Tesla Supercharger location. And although it’s small by Tesla standards, the Model 3 has got a boot that rivals many SUVs.
As the car that put Tesla on the map, the Model S still still packs a punch thanks to its blend of comfort, driving finesse, and interior spaciousness. It also happens to offer the performance to match turbocharged luxury performance sedans, while getting the electric equivalent of quadruple their MPG. Its hatchback body and available third-row jump seats provide an edge in practicality, too.
The Tesla Model Y has plenty of space for the whole family on a grand adventure across Australia, and the all-wheel drive dual motor version handles like a dream, whatever the weather. You’ll always drive with some of the latest tech thanks to over-the-air software updates that continually improve the car and the driver experience.

This was my first time using Turo and coming from years of experience using conventional car rental companies, I was incredibly satisfied!
He's very professional, helpful and not to mention, has a best offers for an EV at an amazing price.
Car clean and the owner was very patient in teaching me how to drive the Tesla.
Fantastic car and great host that was super organised and made our pick up a breeze!
The pick-up and drop-off of the car is 15 minutes from the airport, you should take this into account, but personally I found it more convenient because there is no airport hustle and bustle.
Detailed explanations in all things and again -support on all aspects allow you just to enjoy his awesome Tesla during your trip.

To book 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 and Australia, 23 years old or older in Canada, have a valid driver’s licence, and get approved to drive on Turo. When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver’s licence and some other information. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for all future road trips, day trips, and business trips!
No, you don’t need personal insurance coverage to book a car on Turo. When booking a car in Australia, you’ll choose between the Premier (if available), Standard, and Minimum protection plans. Each plan includes varying limits on financial responsibility for damage to a host’s vehicle. All trips include $20,000,000 in legal liability protection for damage to other people’s property. All protection is provided by Turo Travels Mutual.*
Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you book on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive. The primary driver (whoever booked the car) can add additional drivers with no fees or additional charges. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests in the US, Canada, and Australia 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 licence 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.
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. In the rare event a host cancels, you’ll be notified immediately so you can book another car, or we’ll help you find one. Your refund can be temporarily held to expedite rebooking, or the funds can be returned to your bank account — your choice.
If there’s an emergency or an issue with the car, call our emergency roadside assistance provider, available 24/7. We’ll make sure you’re safe, then help you get back on your way.

Some hosts offer free delivery, while others set their own delivery fee.
Many Turo hosts offer discounted prices for weekly and monthly trips, as well as “early bird” discounts for trips booked a week or more in advance. Get the best deals and lowest rates possible on everything from cars to SUVs by booking longer trips, at least a week in advance.* 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 promo codes, discounts, and deals!
