Best Tesla Rental in the San Francisco/Bay Area. Looking forward to renting from Dan again! - JW

Tesla Model 3 2018
Great car for winter... Set up for Tahoe trips with genuine winter tires (not the m+s tires that some people claim are winter) combined with AWD and the Tesla advantage (fastest reaction for traction control) make this the best car for snow trips in California in any rental car. The roof rack is useful as well although I want skiing on this trip and didn't use it. The Tesla itself is of course a great car, long range but small enough to still fit through San Francisco streets. Drop off and pick up was pretty painless at the long term parking.

Daniel bailed me out when the host that I had a booked with cancelled my reservation at the last minute. If you want to rent a Tesla in San Francisco Daniel is your man. Great service, great cars at a fair price. If your thinking of buying an E.V renting one first is a great idea. I realized after driving his Model 3 that it is the best car on the road by far Nothing comes close!

I was looking to rent a Tesla for a reasonable price in the San Francisco area and Dan's listing came up. I was thoroughly impressed with the condition of the car and the car's performance did not disappoint. Dan was very friendly and communicated very well when a question arose about the car. I would definitely rent this car again from Dan, the next time I come to San Francisco!

Fabrizio was a great host and his car was very fun to drive. We were in San Francisco for a hybrid vacation/work trip and his Tesla got us around very smoothly and easily charged up at the supercharger network. We ran into an issue on our trip (my fault) and Fabrizio couldn’t have been more accommodating and understanding. If you are in the market for a ANY rental in the San Francisco area ride with Fabrizio.

Great experience! Car was clean and great to drive. Great communication from Ramsey and team. Love the Model 3! First time Turo user and first time driving a Tesla. Great experience! We rented for a week to drive from SFO to Big Sur, then up to Napa and back down to San Francisco. It was awesome! Turo valet at SFO was also a breeze!

Dan has amazing service! Got the car ready for us on short notice and even took the time to show me the features of the car since it was our first time driving a Tesla. Very professional and clean! Can't wait to rent one of his Tesla's again when I come back to San Francisco. Would recommend him 100%

Awesome! Rented John's Tesla for a cruise from San Francisco to Monterey for a long weekend. It was so good. Turo Valet a convenient but I would not hesitate to arrange meeting the host at another location if it makes more sense. Turo is the future.

Beautiful vehicle! We were excited to rent a Tesla on a recent trip to San Francisco. Hugo’s vehicle did not disappoint. We took the Tesla to Napa, and it was one of the smoothest rides we’ve ever experienced in a vehicle. We were concerned about charging stations, but there were a ton of options on our entire route. Great communication and response time from Hugo when we wanted additional time with the Tesla. Overall, great experience.

As a first time Tesla user, I throughly enjoyed the experience of driving Jasmit’s Tesla for the day in San Francisco. Jasmit (Jesse) is a fantastic communicator and very punctual. I would not hesitate in recommending the experience to drive a Telstra.....it’s very different but so cool. Only a five would be to figure out in advance where to find supercharge areas as it can be a pain to find.

My wife and I were in San Francisco for our honeymoon and Josh’s Tesla really made our trip. The cool factor of the car and how well it handles, and all the technology it has, the pickup location is great and Josh communicated constantly with us before during and even after the trip. Overall an amazing experience. Would totally do this again.

It is in great condition and so much fun to drive up and down the hills of San Francisco. The pickup and return were easy. I wouldn’t think twice about renting a vehicle from Sebastian again.

It was so cool to be able to drive from San Francisco down to Monterey, Big Sur and to the Hearst Castle and then all the way back in a nice new Tesla Model 3 without burning a drop of gasoline. Charging was quick and easy and never took longer than our shopping break or lunch break. The car is a comfortable performance type sedan with plenty of luggage space and the Turo pickup and drop off process was easy and timely.

Genesis and Eric were excellent owners/hosts. Red Jasmine was in pristine condition! The thrill of driving the Tesla is something that needs to be experienced by everyone. The convenience of using the Turo Valet near the airport for pick-up and drop-off, as well as the complimentary airport lyft also made the experience worth while. We drove down to Monterey bay for a day trip from San Francisco.

Driving a Tesla in a city you’ve never been to before is probably the best idea since Sliced Bread. The car looks/drives beautifully, and it’s Auto Pilot Navigation allowed me to truly take in every bit of the beautiful city that is San Francisco. Christopher gave me an excellent crash course and got me on the road on my own in less than 5 mins; allowing me the max amount of time with my dream car. For the price, you cannot go wrong for a glimpse of what the future brings for all cars.
