Vehicle Package • Budget • $119/day

Tesla Model Y Budget

A Tesla road trip at compact-rental prices: the Budget package brings the same Model Y, the same insurance, and the same free Supercharging — just with a ground tent instead of a rooftop tent. The smartest entry if you’re trying Tesla camping for the first time.

Full gear, small price

REI Trail Hut ground tent (2P), Therm-a-Rest pads, a Coleman cooler, kitchen set, two chairs, and a lantern — the complete basics for campground life. Without a rooftop tent you keep full range, and the roof stays free for boards or bikes.

Quick math

At $119/day including insurance AND Supercharging, it beats any conventional rental once you stack Southwest gas prices against it (about $60–80 per tank). A week’s road trip: $833 plus camp fees — driving a Tesla has never been cheaper.
