Thast the dumbest idea anyones ever had

Depending on how the insurance coverage works, I would do it with my H2 if I lived in a city where it was prevalent. As long as getaround had insurance to cover any damages, wreck, theft, etc, it's not a bad idea for a "regular" car. I'm not all that concerned about someone hurting the H2. Would put any kind of sports car on there? HELL NO! You know the only reason people are renting a sports car is to beat on it.

I looked at the Beta web site, http://www.getaround.com/, which is only renting cars in the bay area at the moment. I also looked into what types of cars you could put up for rent and luckily Vipers will not be on the list.

One of the auto rental requirements is "Has a maximum horsepower of 300hp for cars and minivans or 400hp for SUVs."

Good thing they can save us from ourselves.

I was one of the kids who never shared his toys with anyone. So yeah, no chance in hell.

I think that's just liability...

One of the scariest things about letting anyone drive my GTS (not that I would so it's kind of moot) is the pedal placement. It would be SOOO easy for someone's muscle memory to guide their foot directly to the gas pedal when intending to go for the brake... especially in an emergency stop situation.
