The car and Mark were great. Pick up was easy and Mark even gave me a quick run down of all the buttons. I would definitely rent from him again when I come back to Raleigh.

I enjoyed renting the Tesla, I let it drive us pretty much everywhere it was so convenient. Most rentals make you pay extra for this feature but this one was included, really stands out from competitors! Would rent again

Tesla Model Y 2026

We really enjoyed the new Tesla Model Y. Very clean and in excellent condition. Almost like a brand new car. Loved not having to carry keys around and all the great technology with the Tesla. We had a little issue picking up the car, but it was a Turo issue (map not showing the right location in the parking lot) and no fault of Fergus. He made up for it by picking up the car curbside at departures, which saved us some time and hassle. Great experience and would rent again!

Sara is an outstanding car owner. She took the time to communicate every detail about picking up the car, answering all my questions promptly. Her thoughtfulness made the entire process a breeze and put me at ease right away. The car she rented out is a Tesla, and it was an absolute dream to drive. I drive a Tesla myself, a 2024 model, and I have to say that the 2025 version I rented from Sara was equally amazing. It handled like a charm, with smooth acceleration and precise steering. Whether I was cruising on the highway or navigating through city streets, the Tesla provided a comfortable and enjoyable ride. This was an outstanding car - renting experience. Thank you, Sara, for making our trip even more memorable!
