Prepare Your Listing

Make sure you have uploaded high-quality photos of your car, filled in a precise address including a house number and provided access instructions that are as detailed as possible. You can add the address and the access instructions by going to Your cars, finding the installed car and selecting “Access instructions”.

Wait for Activation

Our team will activate Getaround Connect for your car after checking the quality of your listing. You’ll be notified by email once the activation is complete.

Your subscription will start on the day Getaround Connect is activated on your car. More info on the subscription.

Once activated, your Getaround Connect dashboard allows you to:

• Lock and unlock your car.
• Locate your car via GPS (while it’s not in a rental).

You can access this dashboard by going to Your cars, then finding the installed Getaround Connect car and selecting locate/lock/unlock.

Manage Your Rentals

To prepare your rentals, be sure to:

1. Leave the car key in the glovebox.
2. Keep your calendar updated at all times to avoid any cancellations.
3. Always lock/unlock your car using the Getaround app. (If you lock the car by key, the next driver won’t be able to unlock it at the start of their rental.)
