Need to pick someone up from Orl airport in a couple weeks. Do not want to drive our car there. And not subject them to bus-like transport here to TV. Or expensive car service.

We are planning to buy a Tesla 3 early next year. Would love to experience driving it again without going to Tesla store in Orlando, as we did months back to test.

I googled rentals but seems they are all near Orlando. And only would like it for a day or so…. Any suggestions? Please no sarcasm re EVs and such…
I own a Model 3 and would NEVER let anyone borrow it . I won’t even use valet parking if I’m driving the Tesla.

There is NO WAY I would recommend that you rent a Tesla just so that you can take a “test drive” while going into and back from the Orlando Airport !

The traffic is HORRIFIC and learning how to drive a Tesla in and out of Orlando Airport would not be a good choice ! I know you said that you test drive one but …….

Save yourself $$$ and potential aggravation and hire a private car service such as Dave’s Airport Transportation.

Whatever service you choose , be advised that you’ll need plenty of advance time to book such a service and this time of year, a 2 week window is not going to cut it, specially since we’re in the beginning of the “snowbird” season .
