You’ve already read about Getaround Connect, our super cool technology that lets drivers unlock your car with their smartphone. And now that you understand how Getaround Connect works, you may be wondering whether installing it is the right move for you and your car.

Short answer? It definitely is. On top of the fact that it works like magic, here are the main reasons why you should get Getaround Connect installed in your car:

You can rent out your car and earn money doing it without ever having to leave your house.

No more inconvenient meetups

Since the Getaround Connect technology allows drivers to unlock your car directly from their phone, you no longer have to arrange for a physical exchange of the keys. You can rent out your car and earn money doing it without ever having to leave your house.

That means zero time meeting drivers, and more time for you to do the things you have to do during the day (even if that means lazing on your couch binge-watching movies).

Less down-time = more money

Because drivers are able to pick-up and drop-off your car on their own, your car will be available to rent immediately once the last trip is over. Drivers love this because it saves them time, too, and many search specifically for cars equipped with Getaround Connect. That means your car can get rented more often – and you’ll earn more as a result.

We’ll install it for free

Just make an appointment with our team to get the Getaround Connect device installed in your car at a time that’s convenient for you. The whole process takes between one and two hours, and comes as a free service with your Getaround Connect subscription.

It’s totally safe

Don’t worry about leaving the keys inside - your car can’t be stolen!

The Getaround Connect device comes with a secure anti-theft immobiliser system that’s automatically activated when your car is locked with a smartphone. That means that if someone opens your car without using the Getaround Connect technology, the immobiliser stays on. Even with the key, the car can’t be started.

To start the car, either you or the driver has to unlock it with your smartphone. As an additional precaution, with the Getaround Connect device, you can locate your car at any time when it’s not hired out by a driver.

No long-term obligations

Still not sure? You can always try it out for a few months to see how simple and convenient Getaround Connect really is. And if you decide it isn’t for you, you can cancel your subscription at any time.

It really is that easy! Get started:
