Social car sharing: Rent cars by the hour from people around you.

Getaround is an online car sharing service that allows drivers to rent cars from private car owners, and owners to rent out their cars for payment. It was founded in the summer of 2009 and in May 2011, Getaround won the TechCrunch Disrupt NYC competition. In February 2012, Getaround began serving Portland, Oregon with the aid of a $1.725 million Federal Highway Administration grant.
