Looking for Tesla to rent over the holidays while travelling in Australia

[Judge Advocate]

Kia Ora,

I'm coming to NZ and Australia over the Xmas break and I will be missing my Tesla being parked in my garage at home while I'm there.
Just wondering if anyone knows of a place where I could rent one from around the 20th to 31st of December?

Thanks

I'm not aware of any self-drive Tesla rental in Australia but we do have a few Limo services that use Model S including Evoke Limo in Sydney. The owners are long time TMC members.

Also an Uber service in Melbourne, I believe.

Yep
Ive whipped off an email to Ian regarding his Model S Uber car on this one.

Actually I was wondering if you could hire a Tesla in the US. Wanted to drive Route 66 fron Dallas Airpirt to Vegas via the Grand Canyon, with the family. But niw I only want to do it in a Model S... or X for that matter... Anyone know anyone who knows anything?

No, I don't. Sorry. I'm coming in from Toronto, Canada.

I hired one out of LAX via Relay Rides in July 2015.

What costs for the LAX deal?

In New Zealand contact BlueCars.NZ that have a Tesla Model S that they rent out

OK thanks. Coming down from Toronto. Probably won't work out but thanks anyway.

OK thanks but way too expensive. Quite ludicrous actually. $150.00 an hour?

My wife is the owner so I'm obviously biased but... $150 an hour is quite cheap in Australia for a luxury chauffeur service.

The other way to do this is (with a little more notice) organise to swap dwellings + Tesla with a local owner who wants a holiday for the period. This is what I've done for July next year.

The $150.00 an hour is not a chauffeur service. If is a rental service like what you would get at an airport etc.

According to their web site it is a chauffeur service, including the hourly version, Ie you are paying for the driver too.
