Getaround operates a peer-to-peer car sharing platform that matches local vehicle supply from private owners with drivers seeking short-term access.

Marketplace model

Drivers reserve vehicles through an app, while participating owners list cars and manage availability and pricing within platform guidelines. Where supported, keyless technology reduces handoffs by enabling remote access, and the platform coordinates booking rules and protections designed for shared-use operations.

Mobility use cases

Car sharing is positioned as an alternative to ownership for occasional driving needs, supporting errands and day trips in urban areas where parking and fixed ownership costs can be high.
