Why rent a Tesla from Zap M3

What it costs

Rentals are $19.99 per day, with mileage billed after return: $0.40/mile for miles on FSD (Supervised). If less than 90% of your trip’s measured miles were on FSD, all of your non-FSD (manually driven) miles bill at 2× — $0.80/mile. At 90% FSD or higher, every mile stays at $0.40. Example: 100 miles, 80 on FSD → $32 + $16 = $48 mileage. A $250 deposit hold is placed at pickup, and 10% Virginia rental tax applies. Full details: Pricing.

Disclaimer. You are responsible for all vehicle actions during your rental, including any collision. Full Self-Driving (Supervised) requires an attentive driver at all times, and you can take control at any moment by turning the steering wheel or pressing the brake. Just as when driving manually, you may not use your phone or look away from the road ahead while FSD (Supervised) is engaged. FSD (Supervised) is designed to help reduce collisions and driver fatigue. Based on statistical data published by Tesla in its FSD (Supervised) Vehicle Safety Report, Tesla reports that vehicles with FSD (Supervised) engaged experience fewer collisions than vehicles driven manually. These figures are Tesla's and do not limit or change your responsibility as the driver.
