In a nutshell

1/ Price calendar

Your price calendar will be pre-filled and regularly updated in real-time. Our algorithm takes into account:

  • The characteristics of your car: model, age, Getaround Connect, as well as the reviews received.

  • Demand and supply in your area: the number of searches and cars available.

  • Seasonality: weekends, holidays, events.

  • Recent activity of your car: the number of bookings and the price over the past few weeks.

2/ Minimum price

You’ll be able to define a minimum price for your car. After that, Smart Pricing will only set prices that are above or equal to this minimum. 

👉 Our recommendation: set a fairly low minimum price. This way, Smart Pricing will have enough room to set competitive prices on regular weekdays, especially from Monday to Thursday. This will increase your occupancy when demand is low.

3/ Duration discounts

Smart Pricing will apply optimised discounts for rentals that last 2 days or longer. 

👉 This is a standard practice in the car rental market. One long rental costs less to clean and maintain than several short rentals for the same total duration. 

Discounts will be frequently updated, so that your prices for long durations are perfectly adapted all year long

👉 Smart Pricing keeps an eye on discounts from car rental agencies, then sets the optimal level. We’re confident that your earnings can increase thanks to the discounts above. However, if you'd rather set duration discounts yourself, you’re free to turn off Smart Pricing any time.
