Great experience renting from Tony! This was my first time driving a Tesla, and Tony provided really detailed information upfront that made everything easy to figure out. The car was exactly as described, and pickup and return were easy. Tony was responsive and great to communicate with throughout the trip. Would definitely rent from him again. Highly recommend!
Amazing rental experience! The Tesla was a great car, and FSD was so cool to experience. Pickup and drop-off were both super easy, and the hosts were very nice and communicative throughout. Would definitely rent from them again!
This was my second time renting this Tesla, and once again, it was a great experience! The car was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Pickup was super easy, and the owner was friendly and great to work with. Would definitely rent again!
Very satisfied with this Turo rental. Even though the car is from an older model year, the vehicle is still in great condition, well-maintained, and feels very solid to drive. The owner was also very friendly and fast to respond, making the whole rental process smooth and easy. The rental price was very affordable for the quality of the car. I also got a bonus Tesla media play feature, which I really appreciated. Thank you so much!
Great car. Tesla full self driving (fsd) is the best — I don’t rent a car without it. Thank you for keeping your model Y equipped with it!
I rented a Tesla Model Y and the car was spotless inside and out. Pickup and return were quick and completely hassle-free. The car drove beautifully — smooth, quiet, and with plenty of range for a full day around San Francisco. The owner was friendly, responsive, and made the whole process easy. Overall a fantastic experience — five stars, would absolutely rent again!
The car was great and clean. Drop off time was on time and host was very responsive. Wish the battery was fully charged upon receiving, but it wasnt a deal breaker. I would still rent this model y again from Ricardo.
FSD made this Tesla an absolute pleasure to drive. The outside of the car was dirty and had low tire pressure from previous hirer but these were outside the host’s ability to fix given the car was recently returned, he was very responsive to all requests.
The car was impeccably clean with no smell of any kind! We really enjoyed the FSD on our drive to San Jose and would rent it again. Thank you Juni!
Great rental experience! Super communicative and answered any questions about the tesla rental. Would rent from them again.
I rated Orion as 5 stars because he was very reasonable and responded quickly. And the circumstances involving my experience/situation- I don't think he deserves to lose any stars. The car quality itself was not the best. Interior and exterior were not clean. However, in his defense I think he only had about 10 hours to prepare as I had chose to rent it the night before. What I've found out with FSD in older Teslas- it's not the best or reliable. Also not his fault but I think worth mentioning.
Thank you Kyle! I had great experience with this car will definitely rent again.
Amazing experience! The car was absolutely perfect and the FSD was genuinely spectacular. Everything was super smooth from start to finish — picking up the car was very easy and returning it was just as simple. Jenin was incredibly kind, helpful and easy to communicate with. She helped a lot throughout the whole trip and made everything stress-free. Thank you so much for everything! Next time I need to rent a car in San Francisco, I’ll definitely rent with Jenin again.
Excellent experience from start to finish. The Tesla Model Y was spotless, drove perfectly, and was exactly as described. Pickup and return were quick and easy, and the host was friendly, responsive, and professional throughout the trip. I returned the car clean and had a great overall experience. Would definitely rent from this host again.
Robert is a top guy to rent car from. Super flexible, kind and communicative. Would def use his Tesla Model 3 again 💕
