Case Study: Getaround accelerates European expansion and saves months of development with Stripe Connect

Getaround uses Stripe Connect to accelerate expansion across Europe

Getaround is a peer-to-peer car-sharing marketplace with 1.2 million members that lets car owners create a digital rental agency and drivers book and pay via mobile. The company needed a payments partner that could handle complex marketplace flows across multiple European countries, provide a smooth user experience, and be easily adapted to each market with minimal operational overhead.

Getaround implemented Stripe Connect, using Stripe Elements and Sources to enable secure one‑click mobile payments, multi‑currency support, 3D Secure and local payment methods. The integration saved months of development time, accelerated launches in France, Germany, Spain, Belgium and the UK, and supports over 40,000 vehicles (doubling annually), while multiple teams use the Stripe dashboard and minimal dedicated payment engineering is required.
