Also keep in mind that Teslas no longer come with chargers to plug the car into a regular outlet; so you'll actually need to use superchargers in order to charge it (unless you can borrow own from somone who has a Tesla portable EVSE)

Interestingly, Enterprise also rents Teslas but only to owners; apparently they dont have a similar arrangement as Hertz does with a corporate account for supercharging.
Thank you all. Appreciate the information.
