Matthew was an incredible host for an incredible car. The car was beautiful and clean and so fun to drive. It was an absolute privilege and pleasure to book with him. I always rent a Tesla when I’m in Big Sur, and this has by far been the best car with the most accommodating host.

This was my first time driving a Tesla, and I could not have asked for a better experience with this car. The car was absolutely beautiful, both inside and out, and it made the trip smooth and comfortable. I had a blast driving this car overall. William was extremely helpful and took the time to answer all of my questions, from first time Tesla driving tips to general information about the car. I would gladly rent this car again and would highly recommend renting from William in the future.
