About Us

We saw a common problem with the personal automobile.

Car owners invest huge amounts of time and money into an asset they barely use. Cars are driven only 8% of the time, while potential drivers walk past block after block of underutilized cars. We are here to connect the dots... to help people get around.

Getaround is a social car sharing service.

We enable car owners to safely rent out their underutilized cars to a community of trusted drivers. People in need of a car can rent one by the hour using the Getaround website or iPhone app.

Imagine a world with fewer cars, without traffic jams, and with less pollution.

We are a team of successful entrepreneurs, hackers, and business people passionate about using mobile technology to create sustainable transportation solutions. We want to empower people to travel more efficiently and cause a shift from personal to shared transport.

Getaround is founded on three guiding principles: Community, convenience, and freedom. If you share our beliefs, drop us a line. We'd love to hear from you.
