Turo is making it easier to try Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) technology. Starting October 28, the car-sharing marketplace will let US customers search for and book Tesla vehicles with verified FSD (Supervised) status.
The platform uses a direct API integration with Tesla to verify that the system is activated, with confirmation displayed on eligible rental listings. Turo says thousands of Teslas equipped with FSD are already available on its platform.
The new integration also gives Tesla owners who rent out their cars another way to promote their vehicles. Once a host links their Tesla account to Turo, the platform automatically verifies FSD (Supervised) status and displays it on eligible listings.
Eligible US hosts can also receive a free one-month trial of FSD (Supervised). Tesla's Model 3 and Model Y already rank as the third- and fourth-most popular models on Turo so far this year, giving the new feature an established audience.
Turo CEO Andre Haddad says the integration will help more travelers go from being curious about driver-assistance technology to trying it for themselves.
'This industry-first integration with Tesla is another example of how Turo is redefining what car rental and access can look like. Most travelers have had limited opportunity to experience driver-assistance technology, but the demand is clear.'
According to Turo's research, 55 percent of Americans are interested in driverless technology for travel, rising to 71 percent among Gen Z. The company's 2026 Road Report also found that more than one-fifth of Americans interested in the technology would be comfortable spending seven or more hours in a self-driving car.
