Maven Car Promo Code

What Happened to Maven?

Maven launched in January 2016 as GM’s answer to the rise of Uber and Lyft — the idea was a car-sharing service (rent a GM vehicle by the hour, unlock and start it from an app) rather than a rideshare with a driver. It expanded to a number of US and Canadian cities and briefly ran a program in Australia, and it also picked up the remains of SideCar’s technology after that company folded.

It never found a sustainable footing against Uber, Lyft, Turo, and Zipcar. GM began pulling back from individual Maven markets through 2019, and on April 21, 2020, GM confirmed it was shutting the service down entirely. The Maven app and site have been offline since. If you had a Maven account or outstanding credit, GM’s own wind-down communications at the time are the only authoritative source on how that was handled — we don’t have any special information beyond the shutdown itself.

Of the car-sharing options still operating, Turo is the one we track and can point you to with a live link. Turo is a peer-to-peer car rental marketplace — instead of picking up a company-owned fleet vehicle like Maven’s, you’re renting an actual car from a local owner, and you can list your own car to earn money on it when you’re not driving it. Sign up through our Turo link for $25 in credit toward your first trip, per our last check — Turo is alive and actively growing as of July 2026, though as with any credit offer, we can’t guarantee that exact figure hasn’t shifted since we last verified it.
