What it does
Getaround connects renters with vehicles from private and professional hosts. The German service offers hourly or daily rentals, vehicle-category browsing and Getaround Connect, which supports inspection and unlocking through the app.
Look for Connect on the actual vehicle listing. The service explains that supported cars can be inspected and opened through the app, while the listing identifies whether that access method is available. Photos, host feedback and the vehicle’s position help compare nearby options.
First-time rental involves an account and smartphone photographs of identity and driving documents. The German homepage describes an included daily mileage allowance and optional kilometre packages, so estimate the intended journey before choosing a car. It also instructs renters to return the vehicle to its collection place with the same fuel level. Location searches can begin with an address, station or airport. Choose the relevant European country service before comparing availability and rental conditions.
