Understanding the requirements for cars and owners

To be accepted on Getaround, your car must :

• be a privately owned car (i.e. ‘normal’ cars : these cars have “VP” in field J.1 (type) of the Carte Grise (car registration certificate)) or a van with a PTAC of under 3.5 tonnes (these vehicles have “CTTE” in field J.1 (type) of the Carte Grise (car registration document) and < 3500 in field F.2 (weight)), and of less than 13m3. Other types of cars are not insured such as: buses, caravans, motorbikes, quad bikes, no-license cars, driving school cars.
• It is not permitted to rent your car on Getaround for a trailer to be attached by the driver, it will not be covered by our insurance.
• be parked in the country of registration.
• be covered by an yearly insurance policy, at least third-party liability insurance.
• have a routine inspection and maintenance certificates up to date during the rental.
• have under 200.000 kms in mileage
• be under 15 years old at the time of listing

Additionally, we recommend you check with your insurer that you're allowed to rent your car, according to your insurance contract.

Modified cars are not accepted on the platform. Non-disclosure of a modification could invalidate insurance.

You have to be the owner of the car (ie your name (natural or legal person) is on the registration certificate).

If your car is leased, it usually depends on the type of financing contract you have (PCP, Hire Purchase, Contract hire, Personal Loan,…) and the individual financing or leasing company. You should have the answer in your documents, and you can always contact your financing/leasing company directly if still in doubt.

If you want to list a relative's car on Getaround, you need to have a written authorization signed by the owner allowing you to rent the car on Getaround.

If these conditions are not respected, you will not be covered by our insurance, and any damage will be at your expense.

NB : Cars with significant engine horsepower (Ferrari, Porsche, ...) or of a high value are not allowed on the platform due to their excessive insurance risk.

Additionally:

For cars registered in France

• You can rent your car with your own trailer already attached as long as it weighs less than 750kg.

For cars registered in Belgium

Your car must not be a collection car (with a plate number in "O")

For cars registered in Spain

Your car must have its final registration. In Spain, if the car is dedicated to rentals the registration must indicate that it's registered for "Public service: use without driver" (via the relevant authority: Tráfico). If you change your car registration to this, the car must pass a new routine inspection.

What are the car quality standards on Getaround?

Here's a list of all the standards you should meet when renting your car. These are here to prevent any trouble, for you, or the driver:

• Your calendar needs to be always up to date, so that drivers have as much information as possible. You will find more information on how to keep your calendar up to date here
• You shouldn’t cancel rentals, unless it's a force majeure case. However, if you do need to cancel a rental, you will find our cancellation policy here.
• You should be honest in your description and use quality pictures to show your car. You can find our tips here
• You should follow our recommended price, to avoid pricing your car too high or too low (more information here.
• You should rent a safe, clean car. The driver is also responsible for giving back a car as clean as the one they got.
• Your car should be well maintained. You can find our tips on car maintenance here.
• At the start of each rental you need to ensure the car has at least one quarter full of the fuel tank. This also means that the driver should give the car back with as much fuel as when they started their trip.

My car is scratched. Can I rent it out anyway ?

You have to provide your drivers with a car that is safe, and clean. If your car presents small scratches or small damages in the interior that don't compromise the car safety, you can rent it on Getaround.

However, there is no negotiation when it comes to safety (brakes, tires, lights, seatbelts, etc.) and equipment in your car (ex : no windows which do not open correctly, no scotch tape on wing mirrors). If in doubt, read our safety checklist

There is no leeway either for the cleanliness of your car: make sure your car is clean (inside and outside) when you give it to a driver.
