Getting around in San Francisco Bay has just gotten simplier with Smart Limo App. Fast and convenient, limo rides are now available anywhere and anytime at great rates through our driver network: airport pickup, date night, girls night out, corporate functions, and more. Our slogan says it all: app n' ride! TM

(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED STATES - February 27th, 2013 - San Francisco, CA (DISTRIBUTION) February 27, 2013 -- SmartLimo, a Bay Area-based software development company, announced today the official launch of its SmartLimo app for iOS and Android devices. SmartLimo allows users in the San Francisco Bay Area users to request and reserve a limo -- even a last-minute pick-up -- and pay by credit card, all from their mobile device. The app is currently available for free download on both the iPhone App Store and Android Marketplace.

"Bay Area residents have a strong need for transportation outside of their own car. With SmartLimo, they now have a choice besides traditional taxi services," says Namir El-aouar, SmartLimo founder. "Fast and convenient, limo rides are now available anywhere and anytime at great rates through our driver network: airport pickup, date night, girls night out, corporate functions, and more. Our slogan says it all: app n' ride."

SmartLimo's 40-car fleet features drivers that have been rigorously screened and trained, including full DMV and background record checks. Each driver is tested on their knowledge of San Francisco's streets, ensuring that riders will always experience a safe and quick ride to their destination. The app features a driver tracking system with real-time updates, allowing users to know exactly when they will be picked up and how long it will take to get to their destination. In addition, SmartLimo services provide a luxury ride at an affordable meter price -- using SmartLimo, the elegant limousine experience is only approximately 30% more than standard cab fare. For transportation to airports and specific Bay Area cities, SmartLimo rides use a flat fee.

Rates are calculated using GPS data within each individual SmartLimo limousine. Rather than charge based on distance, SmartLimo rates are calculated on a per-minute basis, with variations for vehicle speed and a base fee of $6.99. For the convenience of SmartLimo users, tips are automatically calculated and included in the final total to ensure the easiest, fastest checkout process possible.

"We've spent the bulk of this past year working on both the logistical and software side of the app. Between hiring drivers, establishing the network system, and programming the end-user app, we've seen how streamlined and elegant the process can be in our Beta tests," says El-aouar. "With our public launch, we're ready to deliver what feels like a major Bay Area need -- accessible and efficient limousine rides, all at an affordable price."

iOS and Android users can download SmartLimo for free now. Development is currently underway on a Windows 8 version with release targeted for mid- to late-February. For more information, visit the official website at www.smartlimo.us.
