Tesla fans (customers? followers?) have been obsessed with the automaker’s latest product, the Cybertruck. It’s been blowing up the internet since it began getting delivered to customers at the end of 2023. From videos — both annoying and embarrassing — to claims of premature rusting, its definitely getting attention. Now, the public at large can get their hands on one thanks to Turo.
The site, which has been described as “the Airbnb of cars” seems to know how anticipated it is. So much so that the truck is featured on the landing page of the website. Clicking the link that says “browse Cybertrucks” shows that there are currently 45 Cybertrucks for rent across the country. If you think you’re about to pick one of these things up for a few days on the cheap, though, think again.
Of the 45 listed, you won’t find one listed for less than $428 per day. That’s currently the cheapest listing in Palm Harbor, Florida; this is one of five listings that are under $500/day. There are seven listings under $600/day, the cheapest of which is a Cybertruck in San Francisco going for $500/day.
The bulk of the listings are over $700/day, of which there are 10; the cheapest of these is what’s likely some tech bros Cybertruck going for $712/day in Palo Alto, California.
While none of these prices are cheap, there are a few that are nuts in terms of pricing. Four Cybertruck listings are sitting over $1000/day. The cheapest of these is one listing for $1,250/day in, of course, Beverly Hills. The most expensive listing of all is a Cybertruck in Miami, where one host wants $1,430/day for their Cybertruck; that’s nearly $3,000 for two days including taxes and fees.
While many of us may look at these prices and laugh, I’m sure there’s an army of the Tesla faithful who are more than willing to pay these prices just for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get their hands on one of the dumbest vehicles to ever hit the road.
