Getaround has a bunch of fake owner accounts with automated help lines which I think are actually owned-fleet vehicles.

I think these are actual users who have made so much money renting one car out that they made a business out of buying and renting multiple cars on the platform.

Bingo. Check out how many of the Porsches on Getaround and especially Turo are owned by the same people.
