Call an Uber. Ride an Uber. Rent an Uber.
While Uber's self-driving car endeavors may have been put on hold following a pedestrian fatality in Arizona last month, the company is continuing to expand from its ride-hailing roots at a rapid pace. After launching its dockless bike-sharing initiative Uber Bike in January, the company announced it would be acquiring its electric bike-providing partner Jump earlier this week. Now, the company is embarking on a new venture: a peer-to-peer car rental service called Uber Rent. Like its bike-sharing program, Uber Rent will debut in San Francisco before rolling out to other metropolitan areas. Also like Uber Bike, the service is made possible thanks to a partnership with another startup--Getaround, which lets you rent cars from other people in your area for as little as $5 per hour.
