One tip - if you call the number on the back of any Visa credit card you have, they have pre-negotiated a flat rate of $80 for a tow up to 5 miles: https://usa.visa.com/content/dam/...enefit.pdf
The icing on the cake is how they still charged us for the entire rental period and they charged us for roadside assistance. Over $1,000 for 10 miles of driving. Plus the tow truck that ended up costing $200 out of pocket (which was a bargain)
All they offered us was a coupon for a free day on our next rental. Nothing else. Plus it was almost impossible to find an agent who would respond by voice.
* Your best bet is to blast them in tweets and they will finally get back to you and offer you, while nothing worth while unless you rent often.
However, charging at public chargers is about the same price as gas when you compare equivalent vehicles, i.e. F-150 Lightning to F-150 ecoboost. You're paying just as much and getting less convenience, and that's not an SD.

I own a couple non-Teslas. I love them, but without certain overnight charging them, they are a bit of a hassle.
Enterprise was a much more pleasant experience, they allowed you to return it without a charge if it was above 20%. I would rent an electric vehicle from them again.
Lastly, Teslas Supercharger network has become busier and busier, and the 250 KWH chargers almost always have a line, and the 72 KWH (and 150 KWH chargers if busy) take forever.

It won't fit all use cases but for 90% of rentals it's probably just fine. And the bonus is that if you charge at the hotel or AirBnB then you don't have to stop at a gas station to fill up before returning the car.
