GERZMO is a global platform where owners register their car for use and approve every request. Austin, Texas is one of the first places early access opens. Choose what your car can be used for: food pickup, passenger trips, or sharing with another driver. GERZMO takes 0%.
Early access only: sign-ups only, no trips and no payments yet. GERZMO only switches on a use once it is legal and insured in Texas. Here's why.
The same GERZMO as everywhere else, with Texas rules applied. Any car can be registered, including cars with automated or self-driving features.
Add the make, model, license plate, ZIP code and the times it's usually parked. Free, with no listing fee.
Tick the uses you're happy with: food pickup, passenger trips, or sharing with another driver. You can change this any time.
When someone asks to use your car, you see the request first and say yes or no. Nothing happens without your approval.
Once a use is legal and insured in Austin, your car can do useful work instead of sitting in the driveway.
Right now you can only join the early-access list. No US cars are registered in the app yet, no trips run and no payments are taken.
Each use is switched on separately, only once the permits and insurance it needs are in place.
Your car collects food or shopping orders and drops them off nearby. Platforms that arrange food delivery from restaurants or shops need a state permit (TDLR). Driverless delivery for a business needs Texas DMV authorization.
Your car takes people where they need to go. App-booked rides fall under the transportation network company rules and need a state permit. Driverless rides for a business also need Texas DMV authorization.
Another licensed driver uses your car for the time you agree. This comes under Texas's peer-to-peer car sharing law, which has its own insurance rules.
GERZMO takes 0% from owners and the people using their cars, and there's no listing fee.
No listing fee for owners.
GERZMO takes nothing.
What a car earns, if anything, depends on real requests that are legal in Texas. Earnings are usually taxable.
Taxes and any insurance costs will be shown before anything is booked. For sharing with another driver, Texas motor vehicle rental tax may apply. We'll publish guidance before launch.
Rules differ by country and city; GERZMO only switches on a use once it is legal where you are.
GERZMO US is early access only. There are no trips and no payments until everything below is in place for a use.
No insurance partner, no trips. A GERZMO insurance partner must be confirmed for each use, and every trip must be covered by insurance that meets at least the Texas minimum, before that use opens. We haven't confirmed a partner yet.
Personal auto insurance policies usually exclude paid trips, deliveries and sharing your car with others. Don't rely on your own policy for GERZMO.
App-booked rides come under the Texas rideshare (TNC) license rules in Occupations Code chapter 2402, and since September 1, 2025 the same chapter covers delivery network companies that arrange food delivery from restaurants or shops. Both need a TDLR permit.
Texas regulates peer-to-peer car sharing under Business & Commerce Code chapter 113 (in force since 2021). Among other things, every trip must be covered by insurance meeting at least the state minimum of 30/60/25 ($30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident for injuries, $25,000 for property damage).
A business using an automated vehicle with no human driver to carry passengers or goods needs Texas DMV authorization (enforced since May 28, 2026). For sharing, Texas motor vehicle rental tax (10%) and Austin's 5% local rental tax may apply. There will be no pickups or handovers at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) during launch.
Also worth checking: paid use of your car may affect your vehicle warranty, finance and manufacturer terms. This page is general information, not legal, tax or insurance advice. Rules for other places are on the global legal notes.

GERZMO doesn't control your car remotely and doesn't switch on self-driving features.
Not mainly. You register your car and choose what it can be used for. One of those uses, sharing with another driver, comes under Texas's car-sharing law, and we follow those rules for it.

No. GERZMO is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Tesla, Inc. Robotaxi and Cybercab are Tesla services, booked in Tesla's own app. GERZMO can't add your car to Tesla's network. If you're an owner, you can tick a box to say you'd be interested if Tesla ever opens its network to owners, but that's not a promise that it will.
Usually not. Personal auto policies usually exclude paid trips, deliveries and sharing. That's why each use opens only once a GERZMO insurance partner is confirmed and every trip is covered.
