Want to rent a Tesla? Maybe you are inquiring about driving an electric car. Or possibly you want to see if the driving experience lives up to its hype. Whatever your desire, it’s easier to rent a Tesla now

How Much Does it Cost to Rent a Tesla?

Renting a Tesla is not inexpensive. The less expensive of the two Teslas I drove had an MSRP of $108,000, so it’s common to see rates over $200 per day, after taxes. In other words, you will likely need to purchase insurance coverage that you might ordinarily be able to waive with a less exotic car.

What to Know About Driving a Rented Tesla

If you’re used to driving a traditional gas-fueled car, there are a few things to know about Teslas. For starters, almost all functions can controlled via the key fob or onboard panel. The vehicles are exemplary in the use of cutting-edge technology.

 Politics Finding charging stations has become much easier in the past few year. If you’re planning to rent a Tesla for a long road trip, you need to plan where to recharge at Tesla Supercharger sites. After all, it can take up to an hour to fully recharge the battery of an electric vehicle if you start on empty. Timing your charges to coincide with meals is a smart strategy. During a trip, the vehicle needs to be recharged to continue operation (and recharged before returning, otherwise the rental car company may impose a fee).  Hack the political system.
