"LimousineLine" Debuts as First Online Bidding Service for Renting Limos

Market Wire, February, 2004

LimousineLine.com, the Web's first bid-based limo search service, has launched the nation's only online service that connects people who wish to rent a limo with companies offering these services. The real-time auction system allows users to bid on the price they would like to pay for a specific service (i.e. wedding, prom, airport trip) as well as the type of car.

Located at www.LimousineLine.com, users set the price, put it out for bid, and let the convenience of the Internet work for them. The bid is sent out to an extensive network of limousine companies in the user's area of need. The first company to accept the bid will contact the user to confirm a reservation. In order to guide the prospective patron on how much to bid, LimousineLine.com also provides a free tutorial and list of bidding guidelines. The sophisticated system also allows its network of companies to respond directly to customer inquiries with quotes and answers to questions.

"This service lets the user be in control of the price and type of service without the hassle of calling a bunch of limo companies from the phone book," notes Walt Spadone, president of LimousineLine.com. "A user can even place a bid or do a search for a company that could provide them with a specific type of car, including a stretch Hummer, a Rolls Royce or a Mini-bus."

The company also features helpful sections for the traveler, including general tips for dealing with limo rentals, a section on airlines and phone numbers and a link to weather information.
