How FSD works, how pickup and return go, and what everything costs.
Seven categories of important notices — please read in full before booking.
Model 3 is reserved for company employees and is not available for public rental. Existing reservations remain unchanged. Please choose another available model.
FSD (Full Self-Driving, Supervised) is Tesla's advanced driver-assistance system, enabling highway/city Autosteer, automatic lane changes, Autopark, and Smart Summon. All of our vehicles have FSD enabled, included in the rental price at no extra cost. We provide a 10-minute walkthrough at pickup.
FSD is a supervised driver-assistance feature: you must stay attentive at all times and be ready to take over. Any accident that occurs while using FSD is handled under the rental agreement and the Damage Waiver option you chose. Don't use your phone or get distracted while FSD is engaged.
Yes. On the booking page, tick "My license is not a U.S. license" and upload a photo of your passport; bring both originals to the handover.
You pay the full order amount online in one payment, including any Damage Waiver, taxes, and the deposit (a flat $1000, regardless of rental length, refunded after return). Credit / debit cards (Visa / MasterCard / Amex) and WeChat Pay are accepted; Alipay is not available. WeChat Pay payments can only be refunded within 180 days of payment.
A valid driver's license (U.S. or non-U.S. license accepted); non-US license holders should upload a passport photo during online checkout; the credit card used must belong to the renter. The name must exactly match the driver's license.
No. Renters must be at least 21 years old. The deposit is the same for every age.
Rental fee · FSD access · free mileage allowance · access to the Tesla Supercharger network. 7.75% sales tax is calculated separately at checkout, and the optional Damage Waiver is billed separately based on the option you choose.
The deposit is a flat $1000, regardless of rental length, charged online together with your order. After the return inspection shows no issues, our team refunds it to your original payment method; any tickets, tolls, or damage are deducted first.
Each ticket carries a $50 processing fee plus the original fine; speeding, red-light and stop-sign tickets add a $200 handling fee ($250 per ticket plus the fine). Cleaning for excessive soiling, odor or pet hair is a flat $100. Each FSD strikeout is $200. Without the toll package, tolls are deducted at cost plus a $25 processing fee (once per rental). If the battery is returned below the pickup level minus 10%, we charge $0.60/kWh plus a $25 service fee (waived with the charging package).
The Damage Waiver is our contractual agreement not to hold you liable for certain damage to the vehicle. It is not insurance and is never required. Declining it does not change your deposit, the vehicle offered, or any rental condition. There are two options: Decline, or Basic (2,500 USD deductible): Model Y $19/day, Cybertruck $29/day; rentals of 30 days or more are charged monthly at $270 (Model Y) or $410 (Cybertruck).

Not necessarily. Your own policy or the credit card you pay with may already cover all or part of this, so the waiver may be duplicative. Please check the scope and deductible with your insurer or card issuer before booking. Read the full Damage Waiver details
Both are available as separate paid services — just tick them on the booking page. We serve addresses within 100 miles of the store (Orange County, Los Angeles, northern San Diego, Riverside and western San Bernardino). The fee is tiered by the one-way distance between your address and the store: $50 up to 10 miles, $80 up to 20 miles, $100 up to 30 miles, $130 up to 60 miles, and $2.50 per mile of the one-way distance beyond 60 miles; delivery and collection each count as one leg, so choosing both means two charges. Enter the ZIP code of your address on the booking page and the amount is calculated instantly — the price you see at booking is the price you pay. Delivery and collection can use two different addresses, each priced by its own distance, and we still verify your original license in person at handover.
Late return: 1-hour grace period; after that, 1/4 of the daily rate per started hour, capped at one day's rate per 24 hours, plus sales tax. No late penalty.
Store pickup and return in Irvine is free and includes a 10-minute walkthrough in English or Chinese.

Each leg is priced by the one-way distance: $50 up to 10 miles, $80 up to 20 miles, $100 up to 30 miles, $130 up to 60 miles, and $2.50 per mile of the one-way distance beyond 60 miles; delivery and collection count as one leg each.

No. The booking is kept and marked "Payment failed", with the reason shown in the order timeline. Open the order lookup page with your order number and the last 4 digits of your phone to retry, or switch payment method. Payment links expire after about 24 hours — contact us for a new one.
Orders move to "Order confirmed" automatically within seconds of a successful payment, and you'll receive an email with that subject. If it still shows unconfirmed after a few minutes, refresh the order lookup page — it re-checks the payment — or contact us on WeChat (cc437700).
