I have mixed feelings about this. Uber is a horrible company but they created real competition for a lazy industry that sorely needed some.
Turo is doing the same. When I wanted to rent a Tesla for a few days Turo was the only viable option. The majors all wanted around $1000/day; I found one on Turo for a little over $100 and the free fuel brought that down to around $80. It was a delightful experience.
- ghaff 9y agoThe majors are really in the business of mass-market utilitarian rental. And they mostly do a competent job of that. To the degree they offer anything outside that framework, they do tend to charge a huge premium if they offer the option at all. (For example, good luck renting a 4WD Jeep.) I would question the wisdom of someone renting their Tesla out like this but that's their decision.
