Users can reserve a variety of GM vehicles, ranging from the Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid car to the Cadillac Escalade full-size SUV. Fees start at $8 an hour, which covers fuel and insurance costs.
In San Francisco, Maven will start with 60 vehicles at 30 locations across the city. It will compete against market leader Zipcar and several other car-sharing and ride-hailing services in the city.
