GTA Online: A Safehouse in the Hills Getaway Driver random event guide

In GTA Online, the Getaway Driver random event tied to A Safehouse in the Hills update is a simple but tense side activity that can pop up while free-roaming. It plays out like a quick decision-making test rather than a long mission. You’re not planning the heist here. You’re dealing with the messy escape right after one.

Here is how to complete the Getaway Driver random event in GTA Online.

How to complete Getaway Driver random event in GTA Online: A Safehouse in the Hills

The Getaway Driver random event in GTA Online starts when you come across a robber who needs a quick ride after pulling off a heist. The setup is straightforward:

• You pick up the robber.
• Cops are already on the hunt.
• Your job is to lose the police and decide what to do with the guy in your car.

From there, the event gives you a choice that directly affects your reward. You can either keep him alive and deliver him safely to a designated safehouse or take matters into your own hands and eliminate him to grab his cash.

How the event spawns

From what is to be seen, the rules are pretty clear:

• The event can appear in any type of session.
• It won’t spawn immediately after joining. You need to be in the session for at least 20 minutes.
• There are 15 different possible locations, and a few of them are shown on the maps above, where the Getaway Driver event can show up, so moving around the map helps your chances.

Once it triggers, you’re thrown straight into the chase. Before you can even think about rewards, you need to shake the police. This plays out like a standard wanted-level escape in GTA Online. Take side roads, tunnels, or off-road paths if you have to. As long as the cops lose visual contact, the event keeps moving forward.

Failing to lose the cops stalls everything, so this part matters just as much as the final choice.

Choosing your outcome and rewards

This is where the event actually becomes interesting. You’re given two clear options, and they don’t pay the same.

If you deliver the robber alive to the safehouse:

• You earn 1,000 RP
• You receive GTA$25,000

If you kill the robber and take the money yourself:

• You get GTA$10,000
• You earn no RP

Personally, keeping him alive makes more sense unless you’re just messing around. The RP alone makes the delivery option worth it, and the cash payout is significantly higher.
