"The Limos.com mobile app literally puts 27,000 chauffeurs in your pocket, so no matter what corner of the globe you're in, we have a car for you - making it by far the most useful ground transportation resource for travelers," said T.J. Clark, Limos.com CEO. "This is just the first of many ways we're striving to modernize the ground transportation system online. Travelers need mobile access to legitimate operators who are always pre-screened to meet our exacting standards for professionalism, licensing and insurance."

More than $36 billion was spent on chauffeured transportation in 2010 in the U.S. alone, and more than 95% of bookings are still done offline. In contrast, over 70% of air travel, hotel rooms and car rentals are booked online. Source: IBIS Research.
