Tesla expands in-house vehicle rentals to four more U.S. states

Tesla is preparing to broaden its in-house vehicle rental program across the United States, making it easier to rent directly from the company rather than through agencies like Hertz or peer-to-peer platforms such as Turo.

New job postings on Tesla’s website indicate the service is headed to four additional states: Maryland, Kansas, Washington, and Pennsylvania.

Perks and pricing

The initiative began as rentals at service centers for owners with vehicles in the shop. It later opened to the general public last fall in California, expanded to Michigan in December, and previous reports have pointed to potential future launches in Texas, Tennessee, and Massachusetts.

Current daily rates:

• Model 3/Y: $60 per day
• Cybertruck: $75 per day

Prices can vary by state, so customers should check with their local Tesla Store as the program becomes available. The Model S and Model X were previously offered at $90 per day but are no longer part of the fleet after Tesla discontinued both models earlier this year.

Each rental includes:

• Unlimited miles
• Free Supercharging
• Free Full Self-Driving (Supervised)
• Full mobile app access

How it also supports sales

Rentals must be between three and seven days, and vehicles need to remain in the state where they were rented. If a customer buys a Tesla within seven days of returning a rental, they receive a $250 purchase credit that reimburses the rental cost.

With the three-day minimum, a weekend Model Y rental would total $180, Supercharging during the trip would be free, and a subsequent vehicle purchase would qualify for $250 off—effectively providing an extended test drive and an approximate net $70 discount on the purchase.

There is no announced start date for the new states yet. Tesla is currently hiring for the program, and rentals are offered only at select showrooms, so availability will vary by location.
