guppy is a Spanish electric carsharing operator that rents 100% electric vehicles priced per kilometre through its mobile app, combining free-floating urban carsharing (Asturias, Cantabria, Madrid) with station-based medium and long-distance rentals (Bilbao, San Sebastián) and one-way interprovincial trips. Launched in 2019 in Gijón by the Asturian industrial group G. Junquera as the region's first carsharing service, it is a growth-stage mobility operator rather than a classic VC-backed tech startup, funded largely by its parent group, EU MOVES Proyectos Singulares grants and Asturias' regional investment vehicle SRP. It scaled nationally by acquiring Astara's GoTo carsharing business in Madrid in December 2024 and adding 250 Dacia Spring cars from the defunct Zity fleet in July 2026, taking it to roughly 1,000 electric vehicles across Spain.

Getaround

United States · www.getaround.com ↗

App-based, keyless carsharing that rents cars by the hour or day through connected-car technology; unlike guppy, much of its fleet belongs to other owners rather than the operator.

Zoomcar

India · www.zoomcar.com ↗

Started as a self-drive car rental service booked through an app, with its own station-based fleet for city and long-distance trips, before moving to a marketplace model.

$250MComparable

Virtuo

France · www.govirtuo.com ↗

App-only car rental with no counters, where customers book, unlock and return company-owned cars entirely from their phones, much like guppy's station-based long-distance rentals.

$140MComparable

Zipcar

United States · www.zipcar.com ↗

The original venture-backed carsharing operator: a company-owned fleet that members rent through the app by time and mileage, including one-way trips (acquired by Avis in 2013).

UFODrive

Luxembourg · www.ufodrive.com ↗

All-electric car rental and sharing run entirely through an app, with no counters and a company-owned EV fleet, the closest match to guppy's 100% electric proposition.
