SAN FRANCISCO, June 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
ANNOUNCING
San Franciscans can hustle hard in the freelance economy with a
Maven car for all of their driving gigs. Maven Gig is expanding its
initial offering in San Diego to
now include San Francisco. The
service will launch in Los Angeles
later this year.
Maven has partnered with industry-leading apps in package
delivery, food delivery and ride-hailing, creating a one-stop shop
to maximize earning potential for gig drivers. Initial partners
include GrubHub, Instacart, Roadie and ridesharing services.
DETAILS
- By 2020, an estimated 43 percent of the U.S. workforce will be
made up of freelance workers. The nature of employment is changing,
and Maven Gig is a nimble platform that will grow and adapt with
the shift.
- Maven Gig serves as a singular portal allowing access to
vehicles that can be used for multiple sharing services with
endless possible gigs.
- Maven has been operating on-demand ridesharing rentals in
San Francisco since August 2016.
- More than 20 million miles have been driven in San Francisco and nearly 1 million rides have
been given.
- Gig drivers typically drive for more than one app throughout
the day; Maven Gig is platform agnostic to allow drivers to switch
between several brands, services and gigs.
- Maven Gig members can reserve a Chevrolet Bolt EV for
$229 per week plus taxes, which
includes insurance (minus deductibles), maintenance, unlimited
miles and free charging at EVgo stations for a limited time.
- Maven Gig launched in San
Diego in May and is fully subscribed.
- Maven Gig Bolt EVs have driven nearly 20,000 miles in
San Diego.
-
- More than 1,000 pure EV trips have been taken, saving 750
gallons of gas.
- No range anxiety here — Maven Gig Bolt EVs have driven from
San Diego to Los Angeles.
- Additional vehicles, including the Chevrolet Cruze
($189 per week plus taxes),
Malibu ($199 per week plus taxes) and Trax ($209 per week plus taxes), can be reserved in
San Francisco. Maven continues to
experiment and will adjust offerings based on the gig economy and
driver needs.
QUOTE ME
"Freelancers in the sharing economy want flexibility and Maven
Gig is a seamless way to maximize opportunities," said Rachel Bhattacharya, director of Commercial
Mobility Strategy for Maven. "If the driver has a lull on one
service they can easily flip to another and keep hustling."
