Uber, Getaround partner for peer car rentals in SF

Uber soon will add "peer-to-peer" car rentals from Getaround, which arranges rentals of regular people’s cars, to its app in San Francisco, the companies said Wednesday.

Within a couple of weeks, local Uber riders will be able to tap on the app’s upper-left menu to see an option called Rent, and then a map of what cars are available. Users will be able to find, book and unlock rental cars from within the Uber app. (They will have to submit photos of their driver’s licenses before they can rent a car.)
