A Tesla phone key for every renter, that ends when the rental does.
Pick the car, the driver, a start and an end. Keechain delivers the key to their phone and takes it back on time, so you never hand over a key card or share your Tesla login.
The Driver Key app or the renter’s own Tesla app.
Choose per Key.
Both open and start the car from the driver’s phone. Both end on their own when the Key ends.
One car, one driver, one window of time.
- Issue the KeyFrom the dashboard, the Driver Key app or by asking the assistant. Set the car, the driver, the start and the end.
- It arrives on timeThe phone key or invite reaches the driver at the start, or earlier if you allow early access and the car is free.
- Extend or end earlyMove the end time and the key follows. End it now and access stops now.
- It ends on its ownAt the end time the key stops working, and the next Key on the car can start.
Why not just add them as a driver in the Tesla app?
Tesla lets an owner add another driver to the account, and that access lasts until the owner removes it by hand. For a renter, that means remembering to remove every guest after every trip. Keechain’s Keys carry their own start and end, so access is timed without anyone remembering.
Each Key is also the record of who had the car. Charging, tolls, trips and alerts during the Key are tied to that driver.
On every plan
Phone keys, Tesla app invites and unlimited drivers and Keys are included on the Free plan, for up to 10 cars.
Frequently asked
Does the renter need to download an app?
Not if you use a Tesla app invite: the car shows up in the Tesla app they may already have. The Driver Key app is the other option, on the App Store and Google Play.
What happens when the rental ends?
The key stops working at the Key’s end time. A Tesla app invite is taken back, and a Driver Key phone key stops opening the car.
Can I give access early, before the rental starts?
Yes. You can set early access before each Key’s start, and it only begins while no other Key on that car is live.
Can one driver have more than one car?
Yes. Each Key is one car for one window, and a driver can hold several Keys.
