Getaround Review – Earn money by leasing your car to others.

Posted on

The average American uses their car for only 293 hours a year. That leaves around 8466 hours that the car is left in the garage or parking lot.
What if you could make money while not using your car?

With Getaround.com you can share your car with others and get a payment in return.

How does it work?

First you need to download the app from the Playstore or Appstore.
After downloading register your personal information so they can screen it. This is necessary to ensure every driver has a clean record.

After the verification you can start renting a car or starting to lease out your car to others. The verification should take no more than a hour at most. 

How does Getaround ensure my car remains in good conditions?
They have various checks in place to ensure you always get a good experience with leasers. As first they always take out a 1.000.000 primary insurance on your vehicle. 
This means you are safely ensured to rent out your car without problems.
All scratches and dents will be covered in case those will occur while people are renting.
Secondly the website always checks the record of drivers that potentially will drive in your car. People with a bad record or a DUI will automatically get declined and will never drive in your car. 
And third, people can be reviewed and with a bad rating you can decline those people from driving in your car.

Listing your car for renting on Getaround.

There is an easy form available on the website. Enter all details and submit your form. Verify with your Facebook account and you are ready to list your car and start renting it out.

How much can I make each day?

Supposedly you can earn thousands a year when you sign up and it should be hassle free. According to many reviews on the internet it is not like that. 
You first need to buy a couple things such as an “instant kit” at the cost of $100 and a monthly fee of $20. If you use this app in a busy city you will need to pay for a parking spot in a public available location close to downtown which will also cost you money.

The likely earnings are much lower as reported. When a reviewer called with a support rep, the support rep supposedly said that the profits are around $500 a month when you rent out your vehicle for 50% of the month, and around $1000 if you rent it out for 90% of the time. 
You can withdraw your earnings to your bank account by wire transfer or let it transfer to your PayPal account.

Is Getaround a good way to earn money?

It definitely is a good way to earn when you are not using your car as much. When you have a dedicated parking spot that you already use for another vehicle this is a great way to earn money. Just make sure you have time to check up on the car once in a while so you can ensure drivers are driving in clean cars. This can massively boost your sales.
