Rent out your car to other people
Is your car often parked and unused? List it for rent on a specialised platform, insurance included.
How to get started
- Check that your car is accepted: at Getaround, under 15 years old and under 200,000 km.
- Ask your insurer, and your lender or leasing company, to confirm that renting it out is not excluded.
- Post an honest listing with good photos and an up-to-date calendar.
- Do a check with photos at the start and end of every rental.
Skills needed
- No particular skill
Tools and equipment needed
- Car
- Smartphone
Good tips
- Platform estimates often assume many rented days a month: be cautious in your calculations.
- A clean car with at least a quarter tank avoids most disputes.
Watch out for
- Wear and tear, maintenance and depreciation reduce what you really earn.
- Never accept payment outside the platform: you would lose the insurance.
