The Getaround website allows car owners the opportunity to earn money through their vehicles by offering the cars for hire through their sophisticated system which asks for car owners and also potential customers to open an account on the site before they are authorised to rent a car, or offer their car for rent.
Each car owner is be provided with a car hire kit which includes a GPS box which sits of the car’s dashboard and lets the customer and the owner know exactly where the car is. The device also allows the car to be locked and unlocked using a secure system which is linked to an iPhone app for keyless entry to the car.
The website advises car owners of the cost of hire for a similar vehicle in their area, however the owner can choose to discount this information and simply set their own hourly, weekly or daily hire rates, or they can go with the recommended rates set by Getaround.
The Getaround system also has an insurance policy tied in so car owners can rest assured their car is covered should the vehicle be damaged or stolen during a hire. A full rundown of the insurance options are included on the website.
The new car hire scheme is still in the early stages, although the site does boast a growing number of members which proves there is a demand for the service.
