Drove Zetao’s Tesla Model Y for two months and had an incredible experience. The car was in great condition and a joy to drive—especially with the FSD feature. Zetao was a fantastic host: responsive, professional, and accommodating. Highly recommend both the car and host for a smooth, hassle-free trip.

Andro was a great host 👏 I was fortunate to get the last minute booking for this amazing Tesla Model Y 7-seater. I am really glad that Andro also offered the FSD and it is a game changer. Andro is also very accommodating and easy to deal with. I would recommend anyone in San Francisco to rent out Andro cars.
