European-focused car sharing after U.S. wind-down in 2025
Getaround operates as a peer-to-peer (P2P) car sharing platform with a history of rapid U.S. growth. In 2025, Getaround elected to wind down U.S. operations in favor of focusing on its European business, where the service continues to operate in several markets with a similar per-use pricing model to other P2P platforms. The platform enables owners to list their cars and travelers to book them via an app, with insurance and liability terms aligned to local regulations. Getaround’s pivot toward Europe reflects broader industry dynamics where P2P car sharing remains popular in multiple countries, even as some markets consolidate or reframe their presence. The platform remains a viable option for travelers and local hosts in regions outside the U.S., offering flexibility for urban trips, weekend getaways, and one-off vehicle access.
