Ensuring I'm eligible to rent

To rent a car on Getaround, you need to meet certain conditions so that your trips will be covered by insurance.

You must:

• Be at least 19 years old
• Drivers who wish to book trips in the Los Angeles - Orange County area must be at least 22 years old
• International drivers as well as drivers from HI and AK, and AB, BC, MB, NL, NT, NU, PE, QC, SK, and YT in Canada must be at least 25 years old
• Have a valid driving licence for the country in which you’re renting, including the original document (copies, declarations of loss, or provisional licences are not accepted). If you have a foreign licence, there may be additional requirements. More information here
• Can pay for the rental with a credit card in your name
• Be present for the checkin and the checkout
• Verify your profile, more information here
• Have no more than two violations or accidents combined in the past three years
• Have no major violations in the past three years. Major violations are defined by state law and may include driving with a suspended or expired license, providing false or counterfeit documents, and engaging in speed contests
• Have no alcohol / drug related incidents in the past seven years
• Drivers under age 21 must have a clean driving record (no violations or accidents in the last three years).

All drivers under 26 years old are required to pay the young driver surcharge.

Can I use a declaration of loss / theft or copy of driving license to rent?

Without your original driving license document, you cannot rent. Declarations of loss, preliminary licenses or copies of the driving license are hence not allowed. You have to cancel the rental and warn the owner as soon as possible.
