I don't know how popular Getaround is in other parts of the country, but I get the impression they are struggling in Chicago.
They definitely need Uber's support here
- swozey 9y agoI'm a pretty frequent car renter (Turo) and haven't heard of Getaround at all.
- joeblau 9y agoGetAround is big in SF. I did an interview there about 5 years ago and I also used their services supplementing ZipCar. The cars for GetAround were a lot nicer, but the experience of getting the keys was sometimes tricky if there wasn't good wifi.
- throwaway413 9y agoSame. I’m a weekly renter, I’ve googled around for competing services, and have literally never heard of Getaround.
- rco8786 9y agoJust as a counterpoint - I’ve never heard of Turo but have used Getaround probably 30 times.
- throwaway413 8y agoTouché. I just tried Getaround but hasn’t launched in my area yet.
- rajeshpant 9y agoThey might have analyzed them as an organization and even though they are not big and doing well, they might have seen them something that will integrate well within their current business process & org.
