Jan 22, 2024 2 min read

The new and improved Getaround app is here! While the refreshed visuals will catch your eye, we want to highlight our favorite new features that benefit drivers like you. Click below to download the new app, and keep reading to learn more about the improvements!

Automatic fuel reimbursements

If the fuel tank isn’t completely full at your check-in, it can be tricky to refill it to the same level at the end of your trip. With the new Getaround app, adding a little extra is no longer cause for a headache. 

Drivers who return cars with more fuel than at check-in will be automatically reimbursed at a fair price! Learn more about refilling the fuel tank in our Help Center.

Enhanced mileage packages and rates

Planning to drive more miles than what’s included in your rental? Simply add one of our new mileage packages at checkout — now discounted for extended journeys!

Renting cars on Getaround means only paying for the miles you need. For more details about our mileage packages, check out this article in our Help Center: Understanding the mileage allowance

Free secondary drivers

When traveling with friends or family — especially on long road trips — sometimes it’s easier to share driving duties with someone else. In the new Getaround app, you’ll be able to do just that. 

When booking your trip, add an eligible secondary driver before finalizing your reservation. Secondary drivers must also be registered with Getaround and abide by our terms of service.

The best part? There’s no additional cost to you. Two drivers, one great price.

Improved map interface

We’ve revamped the map interface to give you a cleaner view of cars in your area. Now it’s easier than ever to search by vehicle type, time availability, price, and more while viewing car locations. 

Smoother booking experience

Renting a ride has never been easier. In addition to the new look of the app, you’ll also notice a faster, smoother experience with advanced search filters when booking trips in the new Getaround app.

Plus: If you ever need a car while traveling overseas (in France, Norway, Belgium, Spain, the UK, Germany, or Austria), you’ll be able to use the same Getaround app as in the United States!

Renting a ride has never been easier. Download the new Getaround app today and start driving in minutes!
