What should you actually own?

Start with the trips you make. Compare access and ownership on the same monthly basis, then inspect the full cost and ways to share it.

Match the vehicle to the job

City-only errandsAn Ami-style quadricycle can be compact and inexpensive, but its 45 km/h limit and two seats make it unsuitable for motorway travel or a full-car replacement.

Occasional weekendsRenting keeps fixed costs low. Check the number of days, included mileage, pickup friction and excess before deciding.

Regular mixed tripsA used small car buys flexibility. Compare the actual resale risk, insurance, parking and repair reserve, not only the purchase price.

Longer journeysA full electric car works best when charging is predictable; a petrol car may be easier when charging is uncertain. Model the real trip and charging price.

What can Getaround realistically offset?

The selected car uses a conservative operating model: booked days × owner payout, less Connect, handling and added wear. Tax is not deducted.

€0 / month

Select an eligible vehicle to inspect its baseline.

Owner payoutThis is what reaches the owner after Getaround’s platform charge—not the renter’s checkout price. Replace it after observing your listing’s actual payout.

Occupied daysThe baseline assumes only 4–5 paid days each month, even though a Connect car must normally be offered at least 15 days and two weekends.

Operating costsConnect at €25/month, cleaning or handling time, and incremental wear are deducted. Fuel or battery adjustments should be pass-through, not profit.

Tax and riskDisplayed offset is before income tax and social contributions. It does not price accident downtime, excess disputes, fines or a major depreciation shock.

Conservative monetisation by category

These are planning cases for the Paris inner suburbs, not revenue promises. They deliberately use low booking counts and deduct routine owner-side costs. “Payout” means cash to the owner after Getaround’s platform fee; it is not the customer price.

Before tax

Eligibility gatePassenger cars must be “VP”; Getaround excludes voitures sans permis, motorcycles, quads, buses and caravans. Connect adds stricter age, mileage, access and availability rules.

Why only 4–5 days?A listing can be available without being booked. The baseline assumes roughly 27–33% conversion of the minimum 15 Connect-available days, leaving a margin for seasonality and local competition.

When Connect makes senseAt €25/month, self-service becomes useful when it creates enough extra bookings or avoids several key handovers. Occasional rentals may work better with key exchange and no subscription.

How these numbers work

Ownership per month = (purchase − estimated resale) ÷ months + capital cost on average tied-up value + insurance + parking + maintenance/tax reserve + personal-use energy − conservative Getaround operating offset. The Getaround offset = paid days × owner payout − Connect − handling − additional rental wear. Rental mileage is kept separate from your personal annual distance. “Local renter ask” is a reference listing price, not the owner payout: Getaround’s customer total also varies with duration, insurance and service fees. Financing repayments are not added to the capital cost because doing so would double count principal. Resale, repairs, payout and booking days are estimates, not live quotes.
