> General Motors announced on Tuesday that its drivers can start renting out their vehicles by using an OnStar service. The company announced it is working with RelayRides to allow owners of Chevrolet, GMS, Buick and Cadillac cars to rent out their cars. RelayRides is an online car-sharing marketplace that launched in Boston in June 2010, and GM invested in the company back at the end of 2011.
> 
> OnStar is an in-vehicle service known for connecting drivers to live operators who help provide directions or emergency help after an accident. RelayRides developers were given access to some OnStar services, including features that locate a vehicle and unlock the doors remotely. Renters can unlock the doors using their phones or by replying to text messages. GM said that its owners can now earn up to hundreds of dollars per month by renting out their vehicles with RelayRides.
