GM opens Maven car sharing service in DC

General Motors has opened its Maven car sharing service at 11 locations in DC, a way to rent cars by the hour or day, with a limited-time offer of free gas and no membership fee. Cars are reserved through a smartphone app.

The service, part of the automakerês effort to reach the urban market, began in Ann Arbor, MI, in February. It has since expanded to Chicago and New York.

A range of eco-cars, compacts, sedans and SUVs is available, all with OnStar and the ability to charge up to seven mobile devices. Prices start at $8.00 a hour for a Chevrolet Cruze or Spark.
