We had a great experience renting from this host! The car was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable throughout our road trip. The host was friendly, helpful, and responsive whenever we had questions. The entire rental process, from pickup to drop-off, was smooth and easy. We really enjoyed driving this Tesla during our trip. Highly recommend this host, and would definitely rent again!
Had an amazing experience renting Hector’s Tesla for our week-long LA trip! The car was clean, comfortable, and perfect for exploring Southern California. Hector was an incredible host, super friendly, accommodating, and always responsive whenever we had questions. He made the entire rental process smooth and stress-free from start to finish. Couldn’t have asked for a better first Turo experience. Highly recommend renting from Hector!
Great experience renting a Tesla Model Y on Turo in LA! The car was in excellent condition - super clean inside and out, no dust or smells, and the white seats were spotless. The host kept it very well maintained and fully charged before pickup. Autopilot, brakes, cameras and tire pressure were all perfect. Supercharging was fast and the owner gave clear instructions for charging. Turo check-in/out was seamless via the app with no hidden fees. Clean, safe, and reliable Tesla FSD. Highly recommend this host and will definitely rent again!
I want to thank the car owner for such a great experience, really next level. All was great, and i hope to come back one day and rent a car from Sergio again. Pick up location was really close to LAX, very convenient, pick up and return instructions were very clear. Special thanks for the FSD, this is just future today.
Overall, a great experience renting from Luis. Communication was good, instructions were clear, and pickup and drop-off were seamless. The car was super clean and drove well. This was my first time driving a Tesla, and I really enjoyed it, especially the FSD and how the navigation planned charging stops based on where we were going. We put quite a few miles on it exploring Southern California. I expected a little more range from the Long Range model, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker. Overall, a positive experience. I’d definitely rent from Luis again.
Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. I was in the area for a very short trip, decided I wanted a Tesla to drive me around and I’m so glad I landed on this one. Jason and his team were exceptional, kind, personable and human (silly to say maybe, but seemingly rare these days). The car was nice and really cool for someone new to Tesla as a whole, but the experience i received from Jason Co. was way cooler. Absolutely top notch in every aspect. I’d make a special trip to LAX just to rent this car from this crew again! Thanks for the laughs and incredible service!
This is going to be a long amazing review so buckle up. 😂 First of all we had never done Turo, been in a Tesla, or driven a Tesla (well we didn’t drive the Tesla bc it was self driving 😂) So we had an INCREDIBLE experience with all three. Junsu, was WONDERFUL to work with!!! I have to tell you the whole story of what happened to me. I took the Tesla from Los Angeles to Oceanside California. Going there I had no problems. Then……it was one of the scariest days I’ve ever had. I left Oceanside at 12:30 to go back to Los Angeles and at 4:00 somehow I was back in Oceanside. A fire broke out and they closed Highway 5. I was so scared because I couldn’t get any cell service for awhile, the gps wasn’t working for a bit, and the traffic lights were out. I ended up in a neighborhood somewhere and I couldn’t get out. It was all grid locked. It was like I was in a movie. So I called Junsu and wow, he helped me soooooo much!!! He saw that the gps kept rerouting me to highway 5 so he put in another address for me from his phone and got me home!!!! It was supposed to be an hour and a half trip back home and it took me 8 hours. I’ve never been that scared bc I couldn’t find a way to get home. And Junsu HELPED ME SOOOOOO MUCH!! He checked in with me like 5 times to make sure I was ok. Then…..the next day, he helped me again. I went to get the car charged and I was in a very unsafe area downtown close to our hotel (we were at a conference there) so he got me out of there by rerouting me. If I could give him a 20 star review I would!! We are team Tesla….that car was life changing on this trip. We will get one when we buy our next car and Junsu was just the BEST!!!!!! We highlyyyyy recommend him!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Amazing host and the best car ever! Everyone visiting California should rent a Tesla with FSD, and Genesis cars is the best host for that!
Karapet's Tesla is extremely new. He is a very patient host, and the car is super clean with the full version of FSD. Everything went so smoothly, even though he seems to be a host who just started the car rental business. I strongly suggest he remove the external password lock, as it may scratch the glass—sharing the key via the Tesla app would be much more convenient and hassle-free. Wish him all the best, and I'll definitely rent from him again next time
Car was perfect. Jose was extremely communicative. I’m so happy we went with this Tesla versus the major car rental companies.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic experience renting this Model 3. The host was professional, responsive, and made the entire process smooth from start to finish. Pickup and drop-off were easy, instructions were clear, and communication was on point the whole time. The car itself was spotless, well-maintained, and drove perfectly. You can tell they take great care of their vehicle and their guests. Everything worked exactly as expected and made the trip stress-free and enjoyable. I’d rent from them again without hesitation and highly recommend this host to anyone looking for a reliable, clean, and seamless Tesla rental experience.
Fantastic car and an incredible experience from start to finish. The Tesla was spotless, very comfortable, and an absolute pleasure to drive. We drove quite a bit during our trip and the car performed flawlessly the entire time. FSD was especially impressive and made the journey much more convenient. I would 100% rent this Tesla again. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Had another great experience renting this Tesla Model 3! The car was clean, comfortable, a pleasure to drive. The Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature was especially helpful during my long-distance travel and made the trip much more convenient and easy.
I would high recommend in renting this Tesla model Y very clean and amazing experience from picking up the car and driving the car handle so amazingly!!!
The car quality was great. I had no issues at all. Communication was fantastic from the host as well. Would definitely rent again.
