Getaround
Getaround is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where owners rent their vehicles by the hour or day with keyless app-based access.
What is Getaround?
Is Getaround down? Getaround is a peer-to-peer car-sharing platform founded in 2009 and headquartered in San Francisco, California. It allows car owners to rent their vehicles by the hour or day to other drivers, with keyless entry handled entirely through the Getaround mobile app and in-car Getaround Connect hardware. Serving users across dozens of cities in the United States and Europe, any outage or server issues can prevent renters from unlocking vehicles mid-rental — stranding users without transportation.
Getaround's infrastructure is uniquely critical because it controls physical vehicle access in real time through its Connect IoT hardware, which communicates with cloud servers to lock and unlock cars on command. This creates a direct dependency between cloud uptime and renters' ability to access the vehicle they have already paid for. Insurance verification, trip start confirmation, and damage reporting also flow through the platform's mobile and web stack.
When Getaround is down or not working, users commonly report the app failing to unlock the rented vehicle at pickup, trip start and end confirmation buttons not responding, the vehicle map not loading available cars nearby, booking confirmation not completing despite payment being authorized, extension requests during an active trip failing to submit, damage report submissions timing out, and push notifications for rental reminders not delivering.
