Tesla Rental for the Weekend

A weekend in a Tesla is all you need to fall in love with electric driving. With our 2-day minimum starting at just $130, a weekend Tesla rental is the perfect way to explore San Francisco, hit Napa wine country, cruise Highway 1, or just experience what it's like to drive the future.

Perfect Weekend Getaways from San Francisco

Pick up the Tesla Friday evening and return Sunday night. Here are our favorite weekend itineraries:

  • Napa Valley Weekend — Drive across the Golden Gate, visit 4-5 wineries along the Silverado Trail, dinner in Yountville, stay at a B&B, and explore Sonoma on day two. 120-mile round trip—no charging needed.
  • Big Sur & Monterey — Head south on Highway 1 to Half Moon Bay for lunch, continue to Monterey for the aquarium, then wind through Big Sur's stunning cliffs. Stay in Carmel-by-the-Sea. 300-mile round trip with one quick Supercharger stop.
  • Mendocino Coast — Drive north through wine country to the rugged Mendocino Coast. Stay at a seaside inn, hike through redwood forests, and return via Highway 101. 350-mile round trip.
  • City Weekend — Explore San Francisco itself. Drive across the Golden Gate Bridge, explore Marin Headlands, visit Muir Woods, shop in Sausalito, and cruise through Golden Gate Park. Under 80 miles total.

Weekend Pricing Breakdown

A weekend Tesla rental is remarkably affordable:

  • Supercharger costs: $0-15 depending on how far you drive

How to Maximize Your Weekend

Tips for getting the most out of your weekend Tesla rental:

  • Book early — weekends are our busiest time. Book a week or two in advance to secure your dates
  • Pick up Friday evening — start your weekend early. The keyless pickup means you can grab the car anytime
  • Use Autopilot on highways — let the car handle the boring highway stretches so you arrive refreshed
  • Pre-plan your Supercharger stops — the car's navigation handles this, but knowing where stops are helps you plan meals and activities around them
  • Take photos — the Stealth Grey Model 3 looks incredible against California's landscapes. Tag us @frontiertesla
