What about hiring a car from a neighbor in order to go to work, or to go pick the kids from school? And what about hiring a car that comes with full insurance at that? Well, that is what this website lets you do. Getaround is a car sharing service that lets people rent cars daily, hourly or weekly using a smartphone application. And in addition to including insurance, 24-hour roadside assistance and a Getaround car-kit are provided in each and every case.
Users of the site are the ones nominating the prices that they are charging for hour, and they are also the ones choosing for how long they are willing to rent their vehicles. Needless to say, each listing comes complete with pictures. Who would rent a vehicle before actually seeing it?
The ultimate objective of the site is to actually make for a world that has fewer cars, fewer jams and (consequently) less pollution. It also aims to play its part in the creation of a generation of more responsible car drivers, an aim it might as well accomplish one day.
