WASHINGTON (Reuters) â Getaround Inc will pay $950,000 to Washington, D.C. and revise its business practices after allegations that it misrepresented the benefits and nature of its car sharing services and failed to pay city sales taxes, officials said on Friday.
The Softbank-backed San Francisco-based online company had operated without a license in the U.S capital, District of Columbia Attorney General Karl Racine said in a statement.
Getaround will pay restitution to car owners who experienced theft or damage to vehicles listed on its site, Racine said.
