Getaround





Getaround empowers people to safely share cars by the hour, day, or week through a trusted online marketplace. With Getaround Instant, now it is easier and more convenient to share your car with the use of an iPhone and the patented Getaround Carkit. Getaround is free to join, and for as little as $5 an hour, members can conveniently rent nearby cars and save money on auto payments, insurance and maintenance. Owners share cars ranging from a Smart to a Tesla, offsetting the high cost of car ownership and have complete insurance coverage backed by Assurant. Getaround helps to create a seamless and fun sharing experience while making a positive impact on the environment, and earning thousands in extra income each year.
