In the same week that Uber Bike became official and a new driver app rolled out, the ride-hailing company announced Wednesday it was adding a car-sharing service on its app.
Say hello to Uber Rent.
In a partnership with car-share startup Getaround, Uber Rent connects users to nearby cars through the Uber app. Except instead of hopping into the back seat with a driver at the wheel, you’re renting someone’s car for a short amount of time. You can sign up, reserve, and unlock a car from the Getaround platform all through the Uber app.
