On the October 5th, we shared our advice on how to start capitalising on your car through carsharing and to maximise its performance.
You can now access the recording of this presentation via the link below.
You will find below our answers to the most frequently asked questions during this session:
Are there any platform fees we need to take into account?
It’s completely free to list your car on Getaround and it can take max. 1-2 minutes if you have all necessary information at hand.
The base price of a rental depends on your reference price and the rental's duration. The rental price is detailed in this article. It automatically includes your revenue as an owner, the service fee corresponding to the fee paid to Getaround, and the one paid to the insurance. Some additional costs such as extra protection plan (additional insurance), extra mileage package or the young driver's fee can be added.
The Getaround Connect subscription is £17 per month (including VAT) for each car equipped with the box. It will be profitable from your very first rental!
Is this insurance different to every day car insurance for me? Nothing specific to rental?
Rentals are automatically covered by Getaround’s insurance and roadside assistance service. Rentals have comprehensive insurance cover from Allianz and benefit from a 24/7 roadside assistance service.
We advise checking with your insurance providers before listing your car on Getaround to ensure your policy allows carsharing. If anything happens with your car during a rental, our comprehensive insurance with Allianz will cover your claim. You can read up on our claims process here.
