Dec 17, 2019 3 min read

Time is running out to cross off all the names on your holiday shopping list. So if you’re still searching for that perfect something for someone who shares their car on Getaround, check out our tailored list of gift ideas below. From cleaning supplies to feature upgrades, these gift ideas are sure to increase repeat bookings and make it easier for the Getaround host in your life to manage their shared vehicle.

Complete car cleaning kit

A gleaming exterior and crispy clean interior makes a great first impression on guests. We like this 12-piece kit from Meguiar's, which has all the tools to help make their ride shine inside and out.

Handheld vacuum

Storing a handheld vacuum in the trunk or backseat allows guests to clean up unexpected spills without adding an extra stop on their trip. This wet/dry vacuum from HOTOR has all the necessary attachments and an LED light to help with dark corners and under-the-seat cleaning.

Solar trickle charger

In the old days, drivers with dead batteries were forced to rely on the kindness (and timeliness) of strangers to help jump their cars. With the Suner Power solar charger, the folks who book your friend's ride will only need the sun to get the engine back up and running in the event of a battery mishap.

Tire pressure gauge

A must for any car, a brand new tire pressure gauge will give guests (and the host) some peace of mind on the roads. We like this no-nonsense, heavy duty gauge from JACO Superior Products.

Bungee cords

Bungee cords are indispensable for movers and haulers. If your Getaround host has a van or truck, pick up this handy 24-piece assortment of cords from the well-reviewed Cartman brand.

Windshield brush and ice scraper

Like it or not, winter is here. Rather than relying on old credit cards to inefficiently scrape away snow and ice, guests can get rid of it all with this heavy duty windshield brush and ice scraper combo from AstroAI.

Set gap filler

As a general rule, any product picked up on Shark Tank is worthy of giving as a gift. The Drop Stop seat gap filler will keep guests focused on driving—something your Getaround host will surely appreciate.

Roof rack

Roof racks are invaluable for Getaround car hosts near the beach or the mountains because they attract a segment of the market that requires this extra cargo space—surfers, mountain bikers, campers, and adventurers. Click here to search for a rack that fits your Getaround host's car.

Satellite radio subscription

Satellite radio is one of those extra little touches that will set your Getaround host's car apart from the competition. Compare packages at SiriusXM.

Gift cards

When all else fails, a good old-fashioned gift card will do the trick. Find a few locations convenient for the Getaround host and pick up a gift card that will help them maintain their shared ride for the long-term.

  • Oil changes
  • Car maintenance and repair shops
