7 platforms worth evaluating against Getaround, with what each is actually good at. We build one of them, and we say plainly where the others are the better call.
Why operators look elsewhere
US marketplace wound down in February 2025 with roughly a day of notice to hosts
Took approximately 40% of trip revenue — the highest commission in US peer-to-peer car sharing
Mandatory proprietary hardware created lock-in that turned into stranded cost at shutdown
What to compare on
Cost in your slowest month
A subscription is owed when nobody rides. Revenue share falls with revenue. Model your off-season, not your peak.
What your tier excludes
The quoted price and the real price diverge at tier boundaries — operator app, webhooks, extra IoT brands, payment options.
Who runs rider operations
Support, disputes, refunds and collections are either included, or they are your staff cost. Price both.
Hardware independence
If the platform only speaks its own IoT hardware, your software choice and hardware choice are permanently coupled.
Regulatory feeds
MDS and GBFS decide whether you can hold a city permit and whether riders find you in Google Maps and Transit.
Exit terms
Ask what you can export, in what format, on what notice — and get the answer in the contract.
7 alternatives to Getaround
1. Levy Fleets
$250/mo minimum · 20% of GMV (15% at 100-249 vehicles, annual terms)
Turnkey rental platform for scooters, e-bikes, mopeds, golf carts, LSVs and cars on one account. Published pricing, no feature tiers, and managed rider operations available — support, payment operations, disputes, refunds and collections handled for you rather than staffed by you.
Levy is software you own the relationship with — there is no marketplace that can close and take your channel with it
8% of car-sharing revenue on direct bookings versus the roughly 40% Getaround took
No proprietary hardware lock-in: Smartcar/OEM works on compatible model years with nothing installed
Where hardware is needed, it is not tied to a single company’s survival — the vehicle access layer is configurable

Common questions
What is the best alternative to Getaround?
It depends on what pushed you to look. Levy Fleets is the strongest fit if you want published pricing, every feature on every plan, and the option of managed rider operations — 20% of GMV (15% at 100-249 vehicles, annual terms) against a $250/mo minimum. If your reason for leaving is something specific like docking hardware, a franchise package, or a source-code licence, one of the 6 other options below may fit better, and we say which.
Why do operators look for Getaround alternatives?
The recurring reasons: US marketplace wound down in February 2025 with roughly a day of notice to hosts; Took approximately 40% of trip revenue — the highest commission in US peer-to-peer car sharing; Mandatory proprietary hardware created lock-in that turned into stranded cost at shutdown.
Is there a free alternative to Getaround?
Not a serious one for a revenue-generating fleet. Anything handling rider payments, identity verification, and insurance carries real cost — the question is whether you pay it as a subscription, a revenue share, or your own staff time. Levy's revenue-share model means a quiet month costs the $250/mo minimum rather than a full subscription, which is the closest thing to "free when you are not earning".
How hard is it to migrate off Getaround?
Moving to Levy takes about three weeks for a fleet with connected hardware, and the fleet stays rentable throughout. Levy speaks seven IoT protocol families — OKAI, Segway, Queclink, Omni, Omni-Lock, Zimo, Acton — so most vehicles re-point rather than being re-equipped. Rides, riders, and wallet balances import so reporting does not break at the seam.
Should I stay with Getaround?
Genuinely yes, if: You operate in Norway, Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, or Austria, where Getaround still runs; You want a large established European audience and bundled trip protection more than channel control; You prefer a single vendor supplying hardware, insurance, payments, and demand together. Switching platforms costs real time, and it is not worth it to solve a problem you do not have.
