Is it possible to rent a Tesla for cheap?

I have a road trip coming up and I wanted to treat myself to a fancy rental car. I am thinking a Tesla, but is there a way to find a cheap Tesla rental?

“A fancy rental is a wonderful way to add a little glam to your road trip! You can rent a Tesla but it can depend on your definition of cheap and where you will be driving.
You can get Tesla rentals from a rental car agency or by using an app-based rental company like
Turo
. Right now, the country has a rental car shortage, so the cost of rentals has increased across the board. Renting from a private owner might save you the most money.
For example, as of today, you can rent a Tesla from Turo in New York City anywhere from $125 per day up to $300 per day. At a rental car agency, the prices start around $350 per day.
The best way to find the cheapest rental is to search online for different options, look for coupon codes, and be flexible with your availability.
Another way to save money on your rental is by checking on your personal
car insurance
policy. Most car insurance plans allow your current policy’s liability and physical damage coverage to extend automatically to a car rented for vacation purposes. Since a Tesla is a high-end car, you will want to check with your insurance provider to ensure this rule still applies. This can save you hundreds of dollars in
