The essence of the service lies in short-term car rentals, allowing users to take a vehicle for as long as needed without the obligation of ownership. This can be convenient for those who do not own a car but require one occasionally and prefer to navigate the city independently.
Let’s take a look at what the company offers and why it may be appealing (or not).
The company began operations in Lviv with a fleet of 25 vehicles and aims to double its fleet by the end of the year. It is worth noting that this number may be insufficient, so there may not be available cars at all times. The fleet includes models such as the Ford Focus, Kia Ceed, Hyundai i30, Hyundai Elantra, Skoda Octavia, and Kia Sportage from 2020 to 2024.
Users can rent and complete trips in designated zones, which include not just the city center but also other districts. Taxis can typically pick you up from any location. However, waiting for a taxi can be necessary, and fares may vary based on numerous factors.
The cost of a trip with Getmancar starts at 1.89 UAH per minute. The hourly rate is from 209 UAH, and the daily rate is 955 UAH. Depending on distances, conditions, and the class of the vehicle, this translates to approximately 3 to 10 taxi rides per day.

Why car sharing is popular
There’s no need to spend on purchasing, insuring, and maintaining your own vehicle. You only pay for the actual time you use the car. Car sharing offers the flexibility to access a vehicle anytime and anywhere there are available cars. Plus, there’s no need to worry about parking and maintenance.
