BALTIMORE (AP) - General Motors is launching its Maven car-sharing service in Baltimore.

The Baltimore Sun reports (https://bsun.md/2oHR0Be) that starting Wednesday, a fleet of 40 Chevrolets and GMCs can be rented at 20 locations in the city.

The service, already available in cities like Washington and New York, uses a mobile application to display the make, model and pricing of the available cars at lots around the city. Users submit their credit card and driver’s license information, and the app uses Bluetooth to let them unlock and start the reserved cars.

Vehicles may be rented by the hour or day. There are no membership or application fees, and gas and insurance are included.

Maven spokesman Scott Hall says Baltimore’s growing population and notorious lack of parking make it a prime market for the service.
