Getaround

Getaround was an online car sharing or peer-to-peer carsharing service that connected drivers who needed to rent cars with car owners who rented their private cars in exchange for payment. The company was founded in 2011 at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference. In June 2026, Getaround's board announced its plan to dissolve and liquidate the company.

Before ceasing US operations on Feb 12, 2025, the company operated in Boston, Chicago, San Francisco Bay Area, New Jersey, Portland, Seattle, Philadelphia, Miami, Orlando, Atlanta, San Diego, Los Angeles, Denver, and Washington D.C. In April 2026, the company sold its remaining interests in Europe to GoMore, a Danish company.
