Getaround is a car-sharing service founded in 2009 in the United States. Unlike traditional rental companies, Getaround allows private car owners to rent out their vehicles to other users through a mobile app or website. The platform provides short-term rentals, often by the hour or day, making it convenient for city dwellers and travelers who need a car for a limited time. Users can search for available cars nearby, book instantly, and unlock the vehicle with the app. Getaround focuses on flexibility, convenience, and access to a wide variety of vehicles without the need for traditional rental offices.
