This feature is available in all cities that Wheels currently operates in and will expand into each new market the company enters moving forward.

This collaboration further supports Wheels’ commitment to providing its accessible, alternative mode of transportation to local communities. By using Google Maps, users worldwide will be able to find a nearby vehicle to quickly meet their first and last-mile needs, while also reducing traffic and pollution.
