Share a Tesla Phone Key With Your Turo Guest -- No Hardware
Linking a Tesla at moovetrax.com/oem doesn't just hand your renter a remote-unlock link. In the same flow, they can walk away with an actual Tesla phone key -- no separate setup, no handing over a key card. Here's how that compares to StandardFleet and Tessie, the two other tools hosts usually look at for this.
What a Tesla phone key actually is
It's Tesla's own feature, not a third-party add-on: a Bluetooth-based virtual key issued through the Tesla app. Whoever holds it can walk up to the car and drive, the same as an owner would. Tesla allows up to five drivers on one vehicle, each with their own phone key and their own limits (max speed, max power, and so on).
How MooveTrax uses it
Link your Tesla once at moovetrax.com/oem. That same linking flow -- the one that sets up your renter's trip-scoped remote access -- can also get them set up with a phone key, instead of you manually walking them through adding themselves as a driver in Tesla's own app. One flow, two things handed to your renter.
This is different from Tesla's built-in Guest Mode, which you reach by scanning a QR code on the car's own touchscreen. Guest Mode requires the car to be online, no phone key currently connected, and -- critically for a rental host -- it erases the previous user's profile data on the car before it'll activate. That's not something you want resetting between every Turo trip.

Where each one actually wins
StandardFleet built a genuinely smooth tap-to-key flow and has real Turo host traction (they offer Turo hosts a 15% discount). If you're Tesla-only and want a dedicated fleet dashboard on top of key sharing, it's a legitimate option -- just a pricier one per vehicle than MooveTrax's Tesla/OEM tier.
Tessie is a strong product for what it actually is: EV monitoring and automation -- Sentry alerts, battery health, trip logs. It's not built around guest key sharing; what little guest-access capability it touches is just Tesla's own free native Guest Mode, documented in Tessie's help center.
MooveTrax's Tesla/OEM tier is the cheapest of the three, the only one that also supports non-Tesla connected cars through Smartcar, and the only one built specifically around the Turo/GoMore host-to-renter handoff -- insurance-compliant reporting and a renter locate link included.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Tesla phone key?
It's Tesla's own Bluetooth-based virtual key, issued through the Tesla app. Whoever has it can walk up to the car and drive -- no key card, no fumbling with a fob. Tesla lets an owner add up to five drivers, each with their own phone key and their own limits.
Does MooveTrax add a phone key, or is that just Tesla's own feature?
The phone key itself is Tesla's technology. What MooveTrax adds is the flow: when you link your Tesla at moovetrax.com/oem, the same process that sets up your renter's trip-scoped access can also get them a phone key -- instead of you walking them through Tesla's own account and driver-profile setup manually.
Is this different from Tesla's built-in Guest Mode?
Yes. Tesla's native Guest Mode (accessed by scanning a QR code on the car's touchscreen) requires the car to be online, no phone key currently connected, and it erases the previous user's profile data on the car before it'll activate -- not something you want happening between every Turo trip. The phone key path through a driver profile doesn't have that reset requirement.
Does StandardFleet do the same thing?
StandardFleet's Tesla key-sharing is built around a similar idea -- a link the guest taps that turns their phone into the key automatically, no manual Tesla menu walkthrough. It's Tesla-only and priced at $18-24 per vehicle, per month. MooveTrax's Tesla/OEM tier is $0 device cost and $10/month, and also works with non-Tesla connected cars through Smartcar.
Does Tessie do Tesla guest key sharing?
Tessie documents how to use Tesla's own native Guest Mode, but Guest Mode is a free, built-in Tesla feature -- not something Tessie built. Tessie's actual paid product ($6.99-$19.99/month) is EV monitoring and automation: Sentry alerts, battery health, trip logs. It's not built for the Turo host-to-renter handoff specifically, and it doesn't include insurance-compliant reporting.
