Need a Ride Right Away?

By , About.com GuideNovember 29, 2010

Follow me on:

I usually take a taxi to the airport and I frequently rent a car when I reach my destination. But sometimes it's nice to have an alternative. Whenever I get off a plane and see all those limo drivers holding signs, I wouldn't mind taking a limo. That requires planning ahead and I don't always have time for that.

But now there's a new limo service (in limited cities) that changes things. Instead of having to plan in advance, with Pinpoint Pickup you simply call or use the application (iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone 7) to tell them where you are, where you want to go, and when. They'll connect you with a luxury car service, with a confirmed rate and pickup time. Neat!

Unfortunately, the service is only available in limited markets right now: Los Angeles, Orange County, San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Tucson. More areas are being added.
