Getaround had a lot more choices with about a dozen cars and trucks within a couple of miles of Madeline's Oakland house for less than $85, consisting of a couple of that were within walking distance. There was a 2020 Toyota Corolla Hatchback simply obstructs away, for instance, that had 85 five-star evaluations and cost $75.
Unfortunately, Getaround's first impression showed too good to be true. Unlike Turo, Getaround's taxes and charges aren't included in the estimated rate, so the $16 license charge (a one-time charge for a first Getaround leasing) and $9 "scheduling fee" (the type of nontransparent charge travelers loathe) come as a surprise.
But even at that rate, it would be a competitive choice, particularly if you were to utilize Getaround more than when and soak up that preliminary license confirmation sign-up charge. And since of the variety of automobiles noted on Getaround in the Bay Area like a teeny small 2015 Smart Fortwo, which would have come to $75 consisting of fees and has great gas mileage it seems to beat both Turo and traditional automobile rental websites for price and convenience.
One note: Since Turo and Trip are basically just giving cars and truck owners a platform to lease their own automobiles, each owner sets the regards to their rental, from optimum range the renter can drive to whether animals are allowed in the automobile. You'll want to pay close attention to those terms.
Unlike Zipcar, Gig is "powered by AAA," indicating it is operated by a department of the ever-reputable American Car Association. The Most Complete Run-Down of charming little electric and hybrid cars are extensively readily available, with more than a dozen within strolling distance of Madeline's Oakland home. They're also app-operated, which suggests as soon as you register it takes less than five minutes and requires entering your driver's license and charge card information you can utilize your cellular phone to unlock and drive (no key necessary) the nearest Gig automobile to you.
There's a $1 "access charge" that's applied anytime you open a cars and truck. From there, prices are $0. 49 per minute (up to $16. 99), $16. 99 per hour (up to $69. 99 for eight hours) and $99. 99 daily. From there, there are discounts for AAA members, rentals shorter than one hour, and pre-paid multi-day rentals.
