Getaround

Getaround is a global carsharing company founded in 2009 and based in San Francisco, California. It operates a digital platform that facilitates peer-to-peer car rentals, allowing car owners to earn income from their vehicles when not in use. Renters can conveniently access cars on demand through a mobile app. The company features proprietary technology called Getaround Connect, which provides keyless, contactless access to vehicles via smartphone. This innovation enhances user convenience and scalability. Getaround has expanded internationally, particularly in Europe, where it has acquired platforms like Drivy and Nabobil, and operates in over 1,500 cities across six countries, including France, Germany, and Spain. Getaround serves urban residents, car owners, businesses, and commuters, offering flexible rental options and partnerships with other mobility platforms. Its mobile application is the primary tool for booking and managing rentals, making the carsharing experience seamless for users.
