Autoflow vs HyreCar:
own your channel instead of renting one
Autoflow is the operating system for car rental fleets: bookings, contracts, deposits, and renter verification in one flat $20/car subscription. For fleet owners who relied on HyreCar, it is the part no marketplace ever handed over: your own booking channel, your own renter records, and revenue that does not disappear when someone else's company winds down.

Why fleets
pick Autoflow
When the marketplace died, its hosts lost the channel, the customer relationships, and the income overnight. Twice - HyreCar in 2023, then Getaround in 2025.
Your booking engine, your renter records, your payment flow. Nobody can wind you down.
Former HyreCar fleets run rideshare and consumer rentals on Autoflow with their own direct channels.
HyreCar ran driver screening for its hosts; when the platform died, the screening went with it. Autoflow gives you the job directly: Checkr criminal background checks, Stripe Identity, and Axle insurance verification on your own bookings.

Frequently asked
questions
HyreCar filed Chapter 11 in February 2023. Getaround bought the assets, then announced in February 2025 it was winding down all US operations including HyreCar. The marketplace no longer operates.
For fleet owners: run your own rental operation on Autoflow - your brand, your renters, zero take rate - instead of rebuilding inside another marketplace.
Yes, directly: list your fleet on your own booking pages, verify drivers with built-in background, ID, and insurance checks, and keep 100% of the revenue.
It replaces the operating system: booking pages and a website widget, Checkr background checks, Stripe Identity, Axle insurance verification, mobile e-sign contracts, and deposits through your own processor at $20 per car per month. What it does not replace is marketplace demand - you own the channel, which is the point.
Because the wind-down proved the pattern: the marketplace owned the customer, the screening, and the payout, and it took 15-30% of every rental while it lived. Owners who rebuilt on their own booking rails - their site, their renter records, their processor - cannot lose the channel a second time.
Owners with idle cars and zero demand generation are better served starting where renters already are - HyreCar itself is no longer an option, but Turo still brings built-in demand and handles screening. Many fleets run a marketplace for discovery and Autoflow for direct repeat business at zero commission.
