I had always wanted to drive a Tesla Model S during my trip to the U.S., and when I saw this listing at such a great price, I booked it without hesitation. The car was spotless inside and out, and it was obvious that it had been very well maintained. I was also pleasantly surprised that Full Self-Driving (FSD) was included at this price. It was an amazing experience from start to finish, and I would definitely rent this car again the next time I visit. Thank you again, Marquez! I would definitely rent from you again and highly recommend this car to anyone considering it.

It was great! This was my first time driving a Tesla ever! Van was so helpful and changed the cabin filter before I got the car because I’m allergic to smoke smells. But also!! Van really took the time to teach me and make sure I was comfortable with driving the car before leaving because this was my first experience driving a Tesla myself. I’ve been driven in them before but not me driving one. Also, he was always available for questions and was very responsive any time I messaged. I loved it so much, I bought one! Rent from Van, he’s great! Thanks Van!!!! 🤗

If I could give more stars I would! Atina was very communicative, friendly and so helpful! We had never driven a Tesla so she gave a great quick run through of how it worked and the features we would need. Keycard set up was easy, it’s a great car, easy charging experience, very clean and comfortable. Atina went above and beyond during our rental period, giving us amazing food recommendations and answering questions we had quickly! Pick up and drop off was very easy and clear instructions were given. Would definitely rent from her again!

This was my first time renting a Tesla through Turo, and it was an amazing experience! The car was clean, well-maintained, and drove perfectly. The host was incredibly helpful, answered all of my questions, and made the entire rental process smooth and stress-free. They took the time to explain everything I needed to know, which made me feel comfortable as a first-time Tesla renter. I would definitely rent from them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great Turo experience!

The Tesla Model Y with FSD changed my life. I rented it so I can visit my father because he needed surgery for cancer and it was the most stress free driving trip I have ever had.

Super easy to drive, immaculate condition, fantastic host. Highly recommend renting Gene’s Tesla! Gene provided step-by-step instructions and communicated regularly with us before the rental started. He even put beach chairs in the back for our use. Drop off was also easy at the airport. We charged the car once for 20 minutes and relaxed while it worked. This rental made our trip easy and carefree.

The car, a Tesla Model Y, was in great shape, clean, spotless. This is our first experience with Turo and it was an excellent experience. And the host, Tony Dongwei was more than helpful. Our flight got delayed over 10 hours so that we spent the night flying and did not check into our hotel till 6 am. We called Tony and he agreed to change the drop off time for our car at our hotel from the morning to the afternoon so we could get some much needed sleep. He was equally helpful when we returned the car. All in all we had a great experience and will definitely recommend Tony and Turo.
