Unlock the freedom to go places

About us

Kyte unlocks the freedom to go places by delivering a car for any trip longer than a ride share, for a day, a few days or a few weeks. We’re going after an incredibly large existing market that is characterized by poor experiences and inefficient attempts that don’t solve customer centricity, convenience and consistency. We are dedicated to finding the perfect balance of technological and operational excellence, ensuring a seamless and magical customer experience. In doing this, we’ve cultivated a values-first culture, with a team empowered to be bold, be humble, and take ownership.

    🚗 Industry Update: As of February 11, 2025, Getaround has announced plans to wind down its U.S. operations. Their European operations will continue as usual. At Kyte, we deliver rental cars directly to your door, offering unmatched convenience for your car rental needs. We recognize Getaround’s role in shaping the car-sharing landscape and commend their contributions to mobility innovation. For former Getaround users in Brooklyn, NYC, Jersey City, and San Francisco, Kyte is here to keep you moving. While P2P platforms have brought incredible flexibility to car-sharing, Kyte takes it a step further—combining that same seamless technology with a fully owned and professionally managed fleet. This means you get the convenience you’re used to, with the added benefit of a consistent, high-quality experience every time. We’re here to be your next mobility partner. Your next ride is just a few clicks away. Check out this note from our founder: https://lnkd.in/eHpjnfax

    We are hiring for a rockstar Head of Growth for Kyte - based in NYC. We have built a healthy and robust growth and marketing stack over the last few years I am really proud of - across growth product, organic growth, referrals, SEM, our distribution partners, a robust analytics stack etc. And in 2024, we have started to solidify the foundations around brand, product marketing, organic social, influencers, and affiliates, all leading to massive efficiency gains across channels. It's time to take this all to the next level, go really deep in our core markets, double down on local growth, partnerships, brand, integrated and full funnel marketing and build out our category leadership in those markets on our path to FCF break even. Let me know if you have rockstar growth and marketing folks in mind, based in NYC, who fit into the Kyte culture and are up for a new challenge in the new year! https://lnkd.in/dnxaQ9u8

    It was great spending some quality time with Kyte's core distribution partners from around the world at World Travel Market (WTM) London last week. Very grateful to our partners who believed in Kyte's differentiation, value proposition, and vision early on, and who are supporting us with capital-efficient strategies to reach customers on our path to FCF break-even.
