Getaround regularly offers deals for new renters. Here are the promotions usually available:

How to use your Getaround promo code:

1. Download the Getaround app (iOS / Android) or go to getaround.com

2. Search for an available car for your dates and location

3. At booking, enter your code in the "Promo code" field

4. The discount applies immediately to the displayed price

5. Confirm the booking — the owner then has time to accept

Renting a car on Getaround is simple, but there are a few important steps to follow for a smooth experience.

Before your first rental:

1. Create your account and enter your driving licence (front/back photo)

2. Add a bank card — a hold is taken as a virtual deposit

3. Complete your profile (a profile photo is recommended to reassure owners)

4. Wait for identity verification (a few hours)

To book:

1. Search for a car by location, dates and budget

2. Read the owner's profile and reviews carefully

3. Check whether the car is Getaround Connect (no key handover) or not

4. Send a booking request — the owner has 24h to accept

On the day:

• With Connect: open the car directly via the app
• Without Connect: meet the owner to collect the keys
• Do the photo inspection before and after — it's built into the app

Getaround's big innovation is the Connect system: an electronic box installed in the owner's vehicle that lets the renter open and start the car directly from the app, without ever needing to meet the owner.

Advantages of Getaround Connect:

• 24/7 rental — no time constraint for key handover
• Instant departure: arrive, open the car with your phone
• Flexibility: easily extend your rental if you need more time
• Increased security: the box records access and can immobilise the vehicle in case of a problem

For Connect owners:

• The box is installed by Getaround at a partner installer (~2h)
• Monthly cost: €19/month per vehicle
• In exchange: income up to 50% higher because the car can be rented at any hour

Tip: filter your searches on "Connect only" if you're looking for a car available late at night or early morning, when classic key handovers are impossible.

Getaround prices are set freely by each owner, creating a wide range by vehicle type, city and demand:

What's included:

• Allianz insurance in every rental
• 24/7 roadside assistance
• No security deposit blocked on your card (hold only)

What's not included:

• Fuel (to return at the same level as at pickup)
• Extra kilometres beyond the owner's mileage allowance (check first)

Getaround is also a financial opportunity for owners who don't use their car every day. In France, a car sits unused 95% of the time on average — so it makes sense to monetise it.

How much can a car earn on Getaround?

What Getaround handles:

• Full insurance during each rental
• Assistance in case of a problem
• Matchmaking and secure payment
• Getaround keeps ~30-40% of the displayed rate as commission

Connect option: with the Connect box (€19/month), your car can be rented 24/7 — usually what takes income from "decent" to "excellent" for owners in urban areas.

Our verdict: Getaround is the best option for a one-off rental, notably thanks to the Connect system that lets you rent at any hour. For frequent city use, Citiz with a monthly subscription can be more economical over time.

Here's everything to check before validating your first rental:

Renter eligibility conditions:

• A valid category-B licence held for at least 2 years
• Minimum age: 21 (24 or 25 for some high-end vehicles)
• A valid ID document
• A bank card (deposit hold, not debited unless there's a problem)

Before confirming the booking:

• Check the included mileage and the rate for extra km
• Read the owner's specific conditions (pets, smoking…)
• Confirm the collection method (Connect or physical key handover)
• Make sure the dates/times are correct (each extra hour is charged)

In case of a problem during the rental:

• Contact Getaround customer service immediately (7 days, 8am-10pm)
• Document any incident with photos before moving the vehicle
• In case of an accident, call emergency services first if needed, then Getaround

Getaround has a rating of 4.3/5 on Trustpilot with several thousand reviews, and similar scores on app stores. Regular users are generally satisfied.

What renters appreciate:

• The unbeatable price compared to classic rental companies (Europcar, Hertz, Sixt)
• The very practical Connect system for night or weekend rentals
• The wide range of vehicles available
• The reassuring included insurance

What owners appreciate:

• Significant extra income in urban areas
• The automated management of payments and bookings
• The insurance during rentals

Recurring criticisms:

• Some late-return situations that are hard to manage
• Getaround's commission (~30-40%) judged high by some owners
• Customer support overwhelmed during peak periods (summer, holidays)

For the vast majority of one-off rentals, Getaround offers far better value than traditional agencies.

Final tip: use the welcome offer (up to €40 on your 1st rental) to test Getaround on your next weekend. And if you have an unused car, list it for rental — the income can cover your annual insurance.
