Tesla Model Y 2026

Seth was fantastic. He not only answered every question I had before pickup, he was just as quick whenever something came up during the trip. This was my first time ever driving a Tesla, and there is a learning curve with the interface. What made a huge difference was the Starlink Seth includes for free. I used the built-in AI for route planning, questions along the way, and finding settings I couldn’t locate quickly. The best part of the rental was Full Self-Driving. In five days I almost never touched the wheel. I only took over to make a small correction or pull into a different parking spot. From start to stop I used FSD, and it was easy, simple, and very responsive. It actually made me want to buy a Tesla. Supercharging was just as straightforward. Seth set up a guest account on the car. You plug in, it charges, and he sends the total afterward for reimbursement. That was a big plus with gas prices as high as they were. Tip: if you charge before 9 a.m., a lot of locations are about half price. I’m sure I saved a lot compared with a gas vehicle. Next time I’m in Salt Lake, I hope this rental is available.

Julien and his Bronco Sport gave me a great trip. The vehicle was super-clean, in great condition, running perfectly, and even had new tires. I got a very ample mileage budget at a great price. The pick-up and drop-off logistics were the star of the show - I was able to do both in the SLC parking garage, connected to the terminal, so I didn't need to take a shuttle or Uber, which is a *very* nice touch. The instructions were detailed and left nothing to wonder about. Around the time of my pick-up and drop-off, Julien was highly available for messaging on the Turo app. Great all around. Highly recommended.

Great experience! Check-in and check-out were super easy, and the car was clean, comfortable, and great on gas. I had a family emergency during my trip and unfortunately had to make several changes to my reservation. They were very understanding, flexible, and worked with me through everything, which I really appreciated during a stressful time. Great communication and customer service. I would definitely rent from them again and highly recommend!

Tesla Model Y 2025

Great experience from start to finish. This was my first time renting a Tesla through Turo and picking one up at the airport, so the process was a little different than what I was used to. The directions were clear and I found the correct row easily, but with several blue Teslas that looked alike, I wasn’t sure which one was mine. I messaged the host and he responded right away and even remotely honked the horn so I could find it. Such a simple thing, but incredibly helpful! Having access to the Tesla through the app also made everything very convenient. The car was great for my trip from Salt Lake City to Moab, and having FSD made the longer drive much more enjoyable. Returning the vehicle was just as easy, with clear instructions on what to do. Communication was great throughout the rental, the process was smooth, and I really enjoyed the Tesla. I would absolutely rent from him again!
