On Jan. 4, UFODrive announced another expansion to its U.S. presence in LA at LAX-South, in time to support the peak LAX travel season, according to the EV rental operator.
"Expect more pop-up locations as we expand throughout the new year and start exciting new partnerships across the U.S.," its announcement said.
Following several recent other U.S. openings at the end of last year in San Francisco, Austin, New York, and Boston in less than four months, the company has further expansion plans for Miami and more.
The newest UFOBay offers premium Tesla rentals, including the Tesla Model Y and the Tesla Model 3 - Long Range AWD, at 1960 E Grand Ave.
UFODrive offers all-digital, all-electric car rental experiences controlled by an app, and will now be available in LA 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
“In only a few years, we’ve helped customers drive over 15 million fully electric miles. Behind the scenes, we try to solve every anxiety and make the enhanced electric driving experience a reality for our customers,” said Aidan McClean, CEO & co-founder of UFODrive. “We wanted to make rental less painful and pioneer the shift to electric, but our customer ratings consistently tell us it's radically better.”
UFODrive is now available in 30 cities and 10 countries including London, San Francisco, Austin, Paris, Berlin, Dublin, and Amsterdam.
