Cars from Getaround are unsafe and dangerous (read my story below) be careful! Use the app Turo which is 1000 times better.

I rented a car for a weekend trip. The car looked new on the app's photos but was instead a piece of trash with scratches all over and stains on the seats (gross).

After 2 hours of driving on the highway, it got dark and I found out that the car had both front and back lights not working! This was extremely dangerous and it's a miracle that I didn't end up in an accident hit by some other car that did not see me. Driving a vehicle in that state is unsafe and also illegal.

I had to drive the car back the following day in daylight. When I asked for a refund… they charged me a late return fee. Be safe, and avoid Getaround!

Tip for consumers:
The cars look good in the photos, but then you find yourself without back lights in the middle of the highway at night. Good luck getting a refund.
