This is a bonus program for Power Hosts to earn bonus dollars for available hours provided. Power Hosts who add eligible cars into our active markets will receive bonus payouts (up to $250 per car per month) prorated based on the number of available hours provided. That means from the moment your car goes live in an eligible zip code, the bonus clock starts ticking! No specific availability threshold to hit in this program, just bonus dollars for hours!
Reach out to your account manager or visit our promotions page for terms & conditions.
The Power Host Playbook is filled with advice, tips, recommendations, and helpful information. If you're managing one car or twenty, get your complimentary copy of this fully interactive guide.

We're hosting our next host town hall on Tuesday, June 1st @ 8:30 - 9:30am PT where we'll be joined by our Head of Trust & Safety, Deborah Newman. She'll be discussing guest and host quality initiatives we're working on, including rewards programs and more.
Pre-submit your trust & safety questions beforehand so we can do our best to cover them in the session.
We received a lot of live questions about this program that will be rewarding high quality guests with various rewards. Please stay tuned as this program is taking shape for a launch later this quarter! Check back on this page for program details once we launch.
We covered the next plans to roll out our highly requested ratings and reviews (guest ratings surfacing, etc). Our product team is currently planning to roll out the following features over the next two quarters:
We'll be sending out an email announcement as these features become available as well as updating the Getaround Product Updates section of this page below.
Our next Host Town Hall will be held in September, so please suggest what themes/topics you're curious to learn more about.
We've had some exciting product and market launches this past month as we continue to expand upon the power of our Getaround Connect® technology as well as our geographical presence.
Powered by Getaround Connect®, you can now see live reporting of fuel and battery levels on each trip. Hosts can view this in their mobile app and in their online dashboard.
We are also continuing to grow markets and expand into new ones with our most recent new additions of Orlando, Tampa, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, San Antonio, and Austin!
If you have questions or are interested in expanding to one of these cities, please reach out to your account manager or contact us through your host app.
"Getaround has proven to be more than just a car sharing platform. I've seen how it's contactless capabilities are actually essential in providing safety and peace of mind to both myself and my renters, especially in this recent pandemic society. I love that the tech behind Getaround automates so much for me in my car sharing business so that I don’t have as much leg work to do manually."
“Getaround is always going to be important to me, no matter how much money I make elsewhere. Getaround is not my primary source of income since I am a CPA, but it's helpful and important to my goals. I use the money I earn to buy real estate — enables me to do things I could not without it.”
"My team does not work off a set script because every case we handle is unique and no two Trust and Safety situations are alike. I am very proud of the strong team of solutions experts we have that work closely with vendors, Guests, and Hosts to create out-of-the-box solutions to efficiently handle every complex, difficult, or strange situation. And I love the creative thinking that is required for most recovery situations."
"I get to work with our amazing account managers and account executives to ensure Power Hosts are set up for growth and success. On one hand, I love bringing this opportunity of entrepreneurship to new and existing hosts, and on the other, I love democratizing access to mobility to new areas as we grow our presence in the US."
Our team continually works to make the host experience as efficient as possible. See our recent updates below.

This means that you can now record images of your vehicle, add notes, and submit them directly within the app. This feature enables you to provide more detailed insights into your vehicle’s condition to our Getaround team, so we encourage you to do these inspections as frequently as possible, especially as it pertains to claims processing. You'll see the option to "Create a new inspection" under any car name through the "Cars" tab of your host app.
