In less than four months, Maven, General Motors’ personal mobility brand, has grown to five markets: New York City, Ann Arbor, Mich., and today announced Boston, Chicago and Washington, D.C. Maven members have driven more than one million miles, bringing them closer to the things – and people – they love.
Maven is using GM campus car sharing locations as beta labs for testing future shared mobility services. It recently launched a peer-to-peer car sharing pilot in Warren, Mich., and a campus car sharing service at GM do Brasil headquarters in Sao Cataeno do Sul.
There are now more than 50 Maven team members working globally as the brand continues to attract top talent from the car sharing, ride sharing and connected car industries, as well as some of the best minds from within GM.
- Maven members and Lyft drivers using Express Drive have logged more than one million miles on the road.
- Maven+ is serving more than 5,000 residents in New York and Chicago.
- Maven City has doubled in the past 90 days to more than 1,500 users in Ann Arbor, Mich., and Chicago.
- Most popular vehicle: Chevrolet Volt.
Maven is different from other car sharing services in the market because of its seamless smartphone integration technology that personalizes the entire experience. Customers bring their digital lives into the vehicle, with contacts, favorites, maps, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, OnStar, SiriusXM radio and 4G LTE wireless connectivity.
Maven pricing is simple and transparent, and includes insurance and fuel. A gas card is provided, and users are asked to return the vehicle with at least a quarter-tank of fuel to avoid an additional charge.
