Carshare/Rideshare vs. Rideshare only

Article updated on 03/15/2024

Getaround and Uber have a partnership that allows driver partners who don't own cars to rent on Getaround to drive with Uber or Uber Eats - known as "ridesharing".

Owners can enable their cars for Getaround’s Rideshare or “Drive with Uber” program with any eligible car in any eligible market. There are two different options to choose from:

Carshare/Rideshare - Cars are available to rent on the most flexible basis for as little as 1 hour or up to 30 days (as long as the car is still available) to both Uber drivers and carshare guests.

Rideshare only - Cars are exclusively available to Uber drivers to rent. These cars are optimized for long-term rentals and always end with a 24 hour “Turnaround block” to ensure Owners have the opportunity to inspect and maintain their vehicles.

*previously Rideshare+

  • Only Uber-approved drivers are able to rent cars in this program. Once the rental is confirmed, drivers can extend continuously up to a maximum of 30 days. No other rentals can be booked on a rented Rideshare-only car.

  • Owners cannot change the 2-day minimum rental duration for rideshare-only bookings.

  • After the driver ends their rental, a 24-hour “turnaround block” will be added to the car's calendar for the owner to inspect the car and refuel. The block will be automatically removed 24 hours later or the Owner can end the block after the inspection is made.

  • Customer Support does not have the ability to remove this block. Owners are required to complete this action in the app or through their web dashboard.

  • Uber drivers can book a Rideshare-Only car that begins in as little as 1 hour or up to 48 hours in advance.
