Odd question but here goes. Is there anywhere close by where I can rent a Tesla, pref Model 3, for a day or so?

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…

Try Turo to see if you can find one locally from an owner or look at the Hertz website, I know they rent them but not sure if they do so locally.

Thanks. I have checked out online Turo as well. Seems to be nothing avail in this area around TV. Do not want to attempt Hertz in Spanish Springs; they no doubt cannot guarantee a specific type of car avail….

Not trying to be sarcastic, just a realist. You don’t want to use a car service because of expenses, yet are looking to rent a very expensive vehicle, pay highway tools, and somehow charge it while the entity renting it turns a profit to make it worth their while? Hope it works out for ya.

I find it hard to believe an owner of a rather expensive car would rent to someone he does not know.

I rented one from Hertz in Spanish Springs.

Hertz in The Villages have Teslas for rent. I have done it. I suggest to book a bit in advance to make sure you get one.

Yeah…I was kinda wondering the same thing? What’s wrong with your car that you THINK you need to rent one of those expensive POS? To all: Did you know they actually cost more to run than a gas car. Yes, electricity costs more than gasoline on a per mile basis. Look it up.

Check out Turo as others have posted. Many expensive, personal cars for you to rent.

Incorrect on the charge per mile for electric. From personal experience, at the midnight to 6am SECO rate of .07/KW the cost is less than $1.00 per 100 miles….at the supercharger rate of .31 about $4.00.

Use Turo, remember though your credit card insurance is no good and does not cover a service where an owner is renting their car. Turo is a proven app and you can pay the insurance as part of the rental.

The Enterprise website says they rent Tesla Model S, Porsche Taycan or similar. You could contact the one in Lake Sumter Landing & see if they have any available.

I don’t blame you for wanting to rent a Tesla. We recently came back from California where there are Teslas everywhere. My son-in-law just bought a brand new one, and we sat in the back and it was so roomy and comfortable and above all quiet. Have you tried enterprise rental? The good thing about that is they will come to you so you don’t have to go get it.

I am really interested in purchasing an EV, the only reservation I have is every article I read claims battery improvements are just around the corner.
With my luck the car I purchase will be obsolete before I drive it off the lot.
