It used to be if you didn’t have a car, you were completely out of luck. But now the options are many and they keep multiplying. The latest car share on the market is Getaround. This is also known as a peer-to-peer car share born in San Francisco, around since 2011. The goal of this company is different from other car shares. They actually have a plan to reduce the number of cars on the road. According to their website, there are 1 billion cars on the road and this number is set to double in the next decade.

Getaround wants to reduce the number of cars on the road by promoting car sharing. How does it work? All you have to do is register, either your car or as a driver.
