Turo and Tesla Debut Industry-First Self-Driving Rental Experience

Turo continues to reinvent the rental industry with unprecedented access to driver assist technology

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Car rental marketplace Turo is debuting the first verified Tesla FSD (Supervised) rental experience for travelers in the U.S.

Launching October 28, Turo guests will be able to search, discover, and book Tesla vehicles with FSD (Supervised) activated, using direct API integration to verify FSD status. Before starting a trip, guests are encouraged to review Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) documentation and all applicable safety guidelines and regulations prior to pickup.

With thousands of FSD-enabled Teslas currently available on Turo, travelers will have the unprecedented ability to rent an FSD-enabled vehicle and experience the market's most advanced driver's assistance technology firsthand.

"This industry-first integration with Tesla is another example of how Turo is redefining what car rental and access can look like," said Andre Haddad, CEO of Turo. "Most travelers have had limited opportunity to experience driver's assistance technology, but the demand is clear. Our own research shows that 55% of Americans are interested in driverless technology for travel, growing to 71% for Gen Z. Turo's marketplace model is uniquely positioned to close the gap between consumer curiosity and hands-on access."

Turo's 2026 Road Report also shows the growing appetite for long-distance travel with self-driving technology, with over a fifth of Americans interested in the technology saying they would be comfortable spending seven or more hours in a self-driving car.

For Tesla-owning Turo hosts, Turo is creating a powerful new way to merchandise and promote FSD-enabled listings. Once a Tesla account is linked to Turo, FSD (Supervised) status is automatically verified and displayed on eligible listings. Eligible U.S. hosts can also receive a free one-month FSD (Supervised) trial subscription.

With Tesla's Model 3 and Model Y already the third and fourth-most popular models on Turo year-to-date, this integration further increases host earning opportunities as interest in self-driving technology grows.

Business Momentum Continues to Accelerate

Turo is the only car rental player bringing currently available driver assist technology into the realm of leisure travel, and it's also the only delivery-first platform centering the rental experience around the guest, not the counter. The company recently announced Turo Delivered, which later this year will fully redesign the search and discovery experience to allow guests to choose exactly when and where to get a car that fits their plans.

From self-driving technology to doorstep delivery, Turo is building the rental experience of the future, today.

This momentum is reflected in Turo's business results. The company saw record performance in the first half of 2026 and is on track to reach $3.3 billion in gross booking value and $1.2 billion in revenue by year end. The company also projects record adjusted EBITDA profits in 2026, marking its fifth consecutive year of profitability. In Q2 2026 specifically, Turo saw 19% year over year growth in booked days and 17% year over year growth in revenue globally. Turo hosts earned 23% more on average in Q2 than they did last year, making it the strongest quarter yet for host earnings.
