The first thing you do on Turo is specify where and when you want to rent a car.

Then, you're shown a list of available vehicles.

You can sort by price, brand, color, and size, among other characteristics.

Once you select a vehicle, you can look at photos, features, and reviews from previous renters.

Then you choose your preferred level of insurance and make your reservation.

Right after I made my reservation, I received a message from the Model 3's owner with instructions about where and how to pick up the vehicle.

My rental involved a remote handoff, which meant I never met the owner in person.

To unlock the car, I first had to take and upload a number of interior and exterior photos to document its condition.

Then I called the car's owner, who unlocked it remotely.

When it came time to return the car, I followed a similar procedure.

I drove it back to the garage where I picked it up.

Then I took photos of the interior, exterior, and battery level before plugging it in to one of the Tesla Supercharger stalls in the garage.

Later that day, I was charged about $20 for the electricity I used when charging the Model 3.

Overall, I was happy with my experience using Turo.
