New Car Service App from Local Company
Limousine Livery Ltd., 4333 Euphrosine St., 561-8777, LimoLivery.com
Local firm Limousine Livery has launched their own Livery Car app for mobile devices. You input where you want to go and the rate and driver pop up, giving you the option to call. Aaron Dirks explains: “We’re a local firm offering luxury services at great prices. The app is great, but we also have 100 employees you can call and a 70-vehicle fleet, so even if it’s very busy you won’t suffer from surge pricing. The fare won’t be eight times higher because there aren’t many cars around.” In addition, “the size of our fleet means we often provide complimentary upgrades,” which is always an added bonus.
