We've found that in many markets, the seasons play a role in how much a car can earn. Hosts' earnings start to go up in the spring, generally peak in the summer months, start to come back down in the fall, dipping in the winter:
But seasonality isn't destiny. Keep reading for ideas on how to make more from your car all year round.
How can I make even more with my car?
Getaround has built a number of features to help you maximize your profits. One example is predictive pricing: Getaround can adjust your car's rate based on a complex analysis of the market, so you're pricing your car at the right level to get booked and rack up earnings. We'll crunch the numbers so you can spend your energy on better things.
You can also rent a dedicated Getaround parking spot. Dedicated spots give both you and your guests a reliable and stress-free destination for pickup and dropoff — but there can be big financial benefits, too. Our spots are generally much more affordable than standard parking spaces, and Getaround vehicles with spots tend to outperform those without dedicated spots. And, in the spirit of Getaround, they're flexible: you'll reserve a spot on a month-to-month basis, so there's no long commitment necessary.
Don't forget the common-sense fundamentals of starting a car sharing business: keep your car clean and up-to-date on maintenance. A clean, trustworthy car means better guest experiences and better reviews, which just accelerates the cycle of bookings and earnings for you. Spend some time refining your car's profile and incorporating more information as you learn more about what guests love. That will make it easy for new guests to find and book your car.
