Sweet ride: Orbitz for Business has unveiled new options for ground transportation.

By Mark Chesnut

Whether traveling on business a weeklong seminar or morning meeting, nothing beats the convenience of private car service. Now, thanks to a new partnership between Limos.com, the world’s largest online marketplace for private car service, and Orbitz for Business, professionals can easily access premium car service at special rates for exclusive discounts at more than 2,000 local town car and limousine suppliers.

The potential savings benefit both travel managers and time-crunched executives. Limos.com has negotiated black car discounts of up to 40 percent off standard rates.

On top of the existng portfolio of rental and private car rental providers at Orbitz for Business, clients can choose from Limos.com’s stable of vehicles in more than 370 destinations across 62 countries. Launched in 2008, Limos.com offers a diverse range of options, including vintage limousines; luxury and premium sedans; SUV and stretch limousines; and minibus and motor coach limos.

With global coverage, 24/7 agent support and status updates from Limos.com, Orbitz for Business customers enjoy a seamless search, compare, book and transport experience.

According to data from IBIS Research, the market for private car services has traditionally been more fragmented and inefficient than other online travel segments. With less than 5 percent of bookings made online, the agreement between Orbitz for Business and Limos.com may help both companies bolster growth in a relatively undeveloped market segment.

“Integrating Limos.com with the Orbitz for Business booking environment is notonly a perfect fit, it’s a partnership that will help customers realize significant savings on ground transportation,” said T.J. Clark, president and CEO of Limos.com. “Business travelers often need a heightened level of convenience, service and flexibility when it comes to private car transportation, but they also need to stay within a defined travel budget. Limos.com offers those travelers seamless access to private cars at specially negotiated rates and provides policy controls, all of which make private car transportation a much more convenient and cost-effective proposition.”
