Getaround Customer Insights

1. My first booking I cancelled because I thought I booked the wrong car because the location was much further than I planned(it was listed as a couple blocks away and turned it to be over 10 blocks away), so I cancelled and rebooked a different car and the second place which was supposed to be 2 blocks was just as far in another direction so I spent 20 minutes of my rez walking at 4am)I am in Philly, good experience so far.

2. My most recent experience was that of getting a very badly crashed vehicle without my knowledge and having to return to the lot to only be told every other vehicle on the lot was dead.Cars from Getaround are unsafe and dangerous be careful! Use the app Turo that is 1000 times better.

3. I just started getting the security deposit warning on the latest update but it is only on some cars so I think that and the booking fee is based on a decision made by the host, not Getaround.

4. While Getaround's app and prices are fine, over the past year I've used the service, I feel I have spent more time with customer support than I have in a vehicle.

5. Good luck connecting to servers or GPS drift in a big concrete box in a city though.If you're booking a trip within the next hour, it would make sense to search where the cars *currently* are.

6. I enjoy the service, but please improve this app.If you're willing to put up with mediocre logistics, frequent issues with pickup and non-existent refunds/compensation for issues, then it's not a terrible service.

7. They are also transparent when they charge fees which I found to be an issue with zipcar.Getaround needs to stay on top of their hosts.

8. I took about 10 damage photos of the vehicle before the trip started and zero of them 'saved' and I could find absolutely no way to fix that later.

9. I have had hosts cancel at the last minute and Getaround calls me and gets me a new car with no problem.

10. I was able to successfully complete my first trip, but I will be exploring other car share options going forward.

11. Throwing in a license fee in addition to the cost of using the car, plus not prompting the user to top off the gas tank until the end of the rental is not good business practice.
