Documents to be presented at the start of the rental

For all rentals on Getaround, you will need to ensure that your license has been validated by Getaround before starting the rental.

Key Exchange (Meet the Owner) rentals

Even though your profile must be verified by Getaround before you can begin your rental, you will still need to present the original of your driving license (no photocopy or declaration of loss/theft) to the Owner during the checkin process.

Can I use a declaration of loss / theft or copy of driving license to rent?

Without your original driving license document, you cannot rent. Declarations of loss, preliminary licenses or copies of the driving license are hence not allowed. You have to cancel the rental and warn the owner as soon as possible.
