Getaround is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace that enables users to rent and share cars directly from owners using a connected mobile app.
Founded in 2009, Getaround operates as an on-demand car sharing marketplace where individuals can list, discover, and rent vehicles by the hour or day. The platform leverages connected car technology that enables renters to locate, unlock, and drive cars using their smartphone, eliminating the traditional keys handoff.
