Get Around is a company that provides the infrastructure for peer-to-peer car rentals, sort of like ZipCar, but you can participate on either side of the rental. As I understand it, they provide the insurance and the hardware that lets renters you approve unlock your car with their smart phone.
I was contacted by one of the principals who wanted to borrow our J1772-to-Tesla adapter to show a Roadster charging from a GE Level J1772 charging station at CES. I have no connection or direct experience with the company.
I think the GetAround business model does make it easy for "run of the mill" car owners to offer up their cars (even exotics) for occasional rentals.
They advertise that they offer their own insurance, so I guess you are covered there. I don't know if the Roadster owner is involved with the company in some way.

Hmm... Owner is said to be "Jessica Catherine", not "Jessica Scorpio", so I am left wondering. Maybe the owner doesn't work there, is a different Jessica or someone is using a pseudonym.
...one Tesla owner who goes by Jessica Catherine — according to autobloggreen, Jessica Catherine is actually Jessica Scorpio, a co-founder of Getaround...
Well this Roadster sure "Gets around"...
Seems it may be an old Toronto store demo car, now sporting California plates, but available for rental in Portland, Oregon...
