How To Rent A Tesla For A Roadtrip?
I am going on a road trip vacation for a week along the California Coast and wanted to know if there is a way to rent a Tesla car?
Figure it will save us some money on gas by using an electric car.
I think California has a large supercharger network so seems like the perfect place for a Tesla car rental.
I have Chase, Amex, and Capital One points.

Just an FYI that only some credit card car insurances cover Teslas, so double-check that.

I just rented a model 3 from Hertz in Philly for $45/day.
Good experience except for the lack of a standard charging plug adapter, so my free hotel charging failed, and had to plan for an extra 20 minutes for a paid super charging session on the return.
And the app kept forgetting the car and resetting to defaults.

That’s odd.
I rented a Tesla in Boston from Hertz and found the J 1772 adapter in the trunk and was able to use a hotel charger that way.

Check out Turo.
It is like Airbnb but for car rentals and there are a lot of Teslas on there.

I rented from Hertz in Palm Springs last year.
It was a lot of fun to drive and it could go very fast.
Charging was not so much fun.
I used the Chase Ritz card which did not exclude Teslas for coverage.

Many Hertz locations have Tesla.
My tip is to set aside some charging time before returning the car.
