How Much to Rent a Cybertruck When All Five Seats Are Full

Renting a Cybertruck from us costs $395 a day for the Cybertruck AWD and $495 a day for the Cybertruck. Both include 100 miles a day and a $1,000 deposit hold. So if a group asks me how much to rent a Cybertruck, I give them a smaller number first. Fill all five seats in the $395 truck and the day works out to $79 a person.

That number changes how the truck gets used. Five people climbing down from one stainless steel shape is a different picture than one driver stepping out of a coupe. Pull up to a restaurant in Newport Beach with a full cabin and the rear doors open one at a time. By the third person out, the valet has stopped pretending not to look.

The Cybertruck rental price per seat

Most people price a rental by the day. A group should price it by the seat, because the seat count decides who comes along. Here are the Cybertrucks next to the three SUVs people cross-shop against them, with each rate from the car's own listing.

• Tesla Cybertruck AWD, 2025, black wrap over black. $395 a day, 5 seats, $79 a seat.
• Tesla Cybertruck, 2024, black wrap over black. $495 a day, 5 seats, $99 a seat.
• Land Rover Defender X, 2024, black over black. $395 a day, 5 seats, $79 a seat.
• Cadillac Escalade Sport, 2022, black over black. $295 a day, 7 seats, about $42 a seat.
• Bentley Bentayga S, 2023, black over black and red. $795 a day, 5 seats, $159 a seat.

The Escalade Sport is the cheapest seat on the list, and it isn't close. I'll say that plainly because it's true. It's also the one nobody films when it pulls in. The Cybertruck is the most photographed vehicle in our fleet on social media, and your friends in the back row will be the ones holding the phones.

Both Cybertrucks are the same dual motor truck underneath. Each makes 600 hp and runs to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. Tesla also builds a single motor Long Range version with 315 hp, and we don't run it. So every Cybertruck you rent from us is the quick one. The $495 truck is the higher trim, with Full Self-Driving capability under supervision and extra cabin equipment. Behind the wheel, you won't feel a difference.

How much to rent a Cybertruck for a weekend or a month

A longer rental lowers the daily rate on its own. You don't ask for it. The discount comes from the length of the booking and nothing else. One or two days run at the full rate.

• 2 days in the Cybertruck AWD, $790 with 200 miles in the pool.
• 4 days in the Cybertruck AWD, $1,422 after 10% off.
• 4 days in the Cybertruck, $1,782 after 10% off.
• 5 days in the Cybertruck AWD, $1,678.75 after 15% off.
• 21 days in the Cybertruck AWD, $4,977 after 40% off, or $237 a day.
• 28 days in the Cybertruck AWD, $5,530 after 50% off, or $197.50 a day.

The full ladder goes like this. 3 to 4 days take 10% off, 5 to 6 days 15%, and 7 to 13 days 20%. After that it's 30% at 14 days, 40% at 21, and 50% at 28 or more.

A month changes the truck more than the price does. On day one it's an event, and you catch the light bar across the front in every shop window. By day four you're parking it outside a lunch spot in Beverly Hills without thinking about it. Then someone at the next table asks if it's real, and you remember what you're driving.

The Cybertruck rental deposit and your insurance

The deposit is a $1,000 hold on your card on both trucks, not a charge. We release it once the truck comes back in the condition it left. It covers small things, like a curbed wheel. Damage goes to your own insurance, subject to your deductible.

That curbed wheel is the most likely mark, usually on a tight ramp into a hotel garage. The Cybertruck helps you there. Rear-wheel steering turns the back axle up to 10 degrees, so the truck swings tighter than its length suggests. Steer by wire, meaning there's no mechanical link between the wheel and the front tires, lets the software quicken the steering at parking speed. Your hands stay at nine and three through the whole turn.

Insurance isn't included in the rate, and we don't sell it. You need to be 18 or older, with a valid license and full coverage insurance in your own name. Your policy has to carry non-owner vehicle coverage, meaning it extends to a car that isn't listed on your declarations page. We call your carrier on a recorded line to confirm it before the rental. Credit card rental coverage almost never applies here, since most card benefits exclude cars worth more than $50k to $75k.

Miles, the charge, and what the bed is worth

Extra miles cost $4 each on both Cybertrucks. That's the rate on the Defender X and the Bentayga S too. The Escalade Sport runs $3. Say you book 2 days and cover 260 miles. You have 200 in the pool, so 60 miles are extra, and that's $240 on top of the $790 rate. If you know the trip runs long, tell us when you book so the miles are priced in ahead of time.

The charge is simpler. Teslas go out charged and come back charged. For a long desert run, plan a charging stop and say so at booking.

The bed is the part of the Cybertruck rental cost people forget to count. It's a lockable 6 foot bed under a powered tonneau, the hard cover that slides over the bed. It has three power outlets built in. Meet a friend at the LAX curb and the bags go in the back, locked out of sight. Nobody in the cabin sits with a suitcase on their knees.

Those outlets matter on a content shoot. Park the black truck on a dim side street in Costa Mesa after dark and run your lights straight off the bed. The black wrap reads as a flat, hard edged block on camera. Personal and social photos are always fine. A paid shoot for a brand needs approval and sometimes different insurance, so say so when you book.

Where the Cybertruck sits against the SUVs beside it

The Defender X costs the same $395 a day with the same five seats. It makes 395 hp and gets to 60 in 5.8 seconds. It looks right against rock and chaparral and wrong outside a resort. The Cybertruck looks wrong everywhere, on purpose, and that's what people pay for.

The Bentayga S is $400 more a day. It has 542 hp, a 4.4 second run to 60, and a 180 mph top speed. The Cybertruck tops out at 112 mph. Nobody books either one to find the top speed. The Bentley goes quiet into a valet line in Beverly Hills and the doorman nods. The Cybertruck rolls into a parking structure in Irvine and three people walk over to ask about it.

The Escalade Sport is $100 less a day than the Cybertruck AWD, with two more seats and a 6.2 liter V8. It's the right car when the ride is transport. It's the wrong car when the arrival is the point of the night.

So the daily rate is the easy part of a Cybertruck. The seats and the miles decide what it really costs you. A full truck on a short loop is the cheapest way into the most looked-at shape we run.
