Tesla is preparing to extend its in-house electric vehicle rental program to Michigan and Florida through new regulatory filings. The move builds on a pilot launched last November, offering renters perks like free Supercharging and Full Self-Driving access. No launch dates have been confirmed yet.
Tesla's vehicle rental service, which debuted as a pilot in November 2025 at select locations, is set for expansion. The program allows customers to rent Tesla models directly from the company, bypassing traditional rental firms. Recent regulatory filings reveal applications to operate in Michigan, followed by Florida, as noted by Tesla observer Sawyer Merritt on X (formerly Twitter).
Merritt highlighted the Florida filing, stating: "NEWS: Tesla has filed an application to expand its vehicle rental program to Florida." The filings indicate active preparations, though approvals and rollout timelines remain pending.
Renters would benefit from unlimited miles—though state line crossings are prohibited—free access to Tesla's Supercharging network, and included Full Self-Driving (Supervised) capability. Rental periods extend up to seven days, with a minimum three-day term. Pricing starts at $60 per day for Model 3 or Model Y, $75 for Cybertruck, and $90 for Model S or Model X. An additional incentive offers up to a $250 purchase credit if a Tesla is ordered within seven days of renting.
Requirements include being at least 21 years old, a valid U.S. driver's license, insurance, and a credit card hold. Vehicles returned with less than 50% battery face a $30 fee.
Earlier job listings suggested national scaling, targeting cities like Austin, Nashville, Boston, Fort Worth, and Houston. This expansion to Michigan and Florida aims to provide more drivers with hands-on experience of Tesla's EV lineup, potentially boosting adoption without immediate purchase commitment.
