Owner - Improving my listing visibility

How can I improve my listing visibility?

As an owner, you play a key role in how visible your car is on Getaround. By optimizing certain elements of your listing and improving the driver experience, you can increase your chances of appearing higher in search results.

The Getaround ranking algorithm is mainly influenced by three key factors: location, driver’s experience quality, and competitive pricing. Strengthening these areas helps your listing appear higher in search results.

Other factors, such as listing appeal, availability, and Getaround Connect also play a part in improving your visibility and increasing your chances of getting bookings.

Location

Put yourself in the driver’s shoes. When possible, choose high-demand locations such as train stations, airports, or popular landmarks. You can also offer car delivery to multiple addresses to expand the area where your car is visible and available for bookings.

5-star experience quality

Pay attention to your ratings by focusing on the essentials:

• Responsiveness: Reply quickly to messages and booking requests.
• Courtesy: Use a clear, polite, and helpful tone in your communication.
• Smooth process: Make pickup and return simple - provide clear instructions, photos of the meeting point, access codes, and easy parking options.
• Cleanliness & condition: Deliver a clean, safe, and comfortable car (check tires, lights, fluid levels, gas, etc.).
• Reliability: Avoid cancellations whenever possible.

Price

Stay competitive compared to similar cars in your area. Adjust your prices based on demand and offer duration discounts to attract longer rentals. You can also enable Smart Pricing to automatically adapt your prices based on demand.

Listing appeal

Make your listing as attractive as possible by including:

• Plenty of clear photos: inside, outside, trunk, seats, etc. See our photo tips.
• A detailed description: mention what makes your car or its location special, and include any useful instructions for drivers.
• Highlight your car’s features. For example, offering a child seat can make your listing more appealing to families.
• Respond quickly and positively to booking requests. This improves your response rate, which is visible to drivers on your listing.

Availability

Keep your calendar up to date so your car appears in as many searches as possible, and is actually available when booked. Frequent cancellations or booking refusals can negatively affect your listing’s visibility.

Getaround Connect

Drivers love the flexibility and independence offered by Getaround Connect.

Between two similar listings, the one equipped with Connect technology is more likely to rank higher in search results because it’s easier to rent and more convenient for drivers.
