Businesses worldwide spend $20 billion annually on town cars for employees, with $10 billion spent in the U.S. alone.(2) ?However, 95 percent of town cars are still booked offline with antiquated reservations systems, and the industry is highly fragmented with thousands of small, regional operators whose inventory is not broadly available in a GDS or online. In contrast, over 70 percent of air travel, hotel rooms and car rentals are booked online.(3) Limos.com estimates that businesses overspend by 30 to 40 percent on town cars because they lack easy access to quality local operators, transparent pricing and modern online controls, all of which have been instrumental in helping companies save millions in air and hotel spending for more than a decade.
In response, former members of Hotwire.com have spent three years building direct relationships with more than 2,000 professional, licensed town car operators in every major market worldwide and integrating them into the Limos.com marketplace, which has more than a million registered users. To illustrate how much business travelers value the convenience of booking car service on Limos.com for Business, at least half of Fortune 500 companies have 50 employees or more using the Limos.com for Business site.
Getting the Best Value Out of Travel Insurance
If you are type of person who occasionally travels, you probably know how important it is to purchase your travel insurance from travel agencies but if you only travel once or twice a year, it is much more cost effective to have one that will last for a long time than buying one every time you plan to travel. It is recommended that you think and plan ahead before you get to board the plane.
Here are some of the best places where you should buy your travel insurance:

This is where you probably want to try in the first place....
?Chauffeured transportation should be every travel department?s biggest incremental cost savings in 2012,? said T.J. Clark, Limos.com CEO. ?Corporate town car service is an overlooked, over-budgeted category in most companies, dominated by outdated offline systems and premium prices paid to large chains. at GBTA we?re demonstrating how companies can immediately implement solutions to save on town car costs while still delivering five-star service to their most demanding travelers in every corner of the globe.?
