There are many different limousine booking software packages out there and it gets a bit confusing, specially if you are new or haven't kept up to date with various limo reservation software available on the market today. That's why we wanted to provide a concise review of major packages and we hope this gives you a good idea about their cost/benefit to your limo company. Please keep in mind that The Limo App which is a customer-facing smartphone app, seamlessly integrates with almost all limousine reservation software packages. Limo reservations booked through the Limo App can be sent directly and seamlessly to one of these Limo Booking Software packages.
When chosing your limo software, the key questions to consider are:
1. Can it be customized?
2. Is your customer data securely stored?
3. Will you and your customers get trip notifications?
4. Can it produce automated price quotes?
5. Is the quote system customized for zones, tolls etc?
6. Can your clients login, retrieve and edit their reservations at a later date?
7. Can you assign trips and dispatch drivers?
8. Can it track flights and alert your of flight delays?
9. Does it have invoicing, billing and competitive payment processing?
So here is a brief review of each major limo software package on the market:
Limo Anywhere Review
Limo Anywhere is the category killer in this group and has the most robust set of features. It allows limo company operators not only to manage reservations, but to assign reservations to drivers in the limo company network, manage the calendar, flight delays and a huge variety of other options. One of the most valuable features is the Driver Anywhere app which allows the tracking of limo drivers and some automated dispatch functions. Limo Anywhere's flexibility allows the interaction of your pricing tables (located in your Limo Anywhere software console) with your mobile app, which is particularly useful if you have fixed rates. Having a Limo Anywhere software package also allows you to integrate your limo booking software with external reservation databases,
which is specially useful if you have large corporate accounts or if you want to get involved with limo farm-outs (also known as limo affiliates).

Corporate Car Online Review
Corporate Car Online (CCO) is an affordable, hands-on solution which can quickly get you setup to make limo reservations. Although it does not have all the bells and whistles of Limo Anywhere, it's fairly easy to use and straight-forward, so you don't have to spend a lot of time in training. CCO has an optional mobile module which is used for the integration with the Limo App.

Book Rides Online Review
Book Rides Online is a relative newcomer to the limo reservation marketplace and an increasingly popular limo booking software package. It is highly affordable and has a variety of features, including dispatch functions, scheduling and invoicing. It also has a very clean customer interface, so it's definitely worth a look.

Best Limo Reservation Software
Which is the best software for the limousine company? This is hard to tell and it depends on your individual needs. Limo Anywhere has an advantage of a national network of limo operators, driver tracking and a very robust set of features and high acceptance in "corporate America". Corporate Car Online is great for hands-on operators on a more limited budget who do not want to spend time in training and deal with complexity. Finally, Book Rides Online is fairly new, does not have setup fees at the present time and provides a nice blend of features and functionality.
Free limousine reservation software?
There is no such a thing. At least not one that provides ongoing technical support and improvements, which is important for any professional limo operator. Of course, there are other limousine company reservation software packages, such as FastTrak, LimoWiz and Booking Tool, but they are still working on opening up their reservation systems and making them mobile-friendly, so we did not include them in this review.
Our custom limo software solution
We've noticed that the market lacks a custom back-end for companies who have very specific needs not addressed by the market. Although most limo software packages provide a robust set of features, you'll find out that when you ask them to change something, they become hesitant and inflexible, which frustrates the heck out of most limo operators who have specific business needs. So we decided to create a limousine booking software that will be
completely and entirely flexible and can be adjusted to fit your exact specifications and your business model. Basically, everything can be changed! On top of this, we provide free limo website design and hosting, free logo design and free concierge apps. You can check all of this by trying it out for 30 days.
