<b>Onewaylimo.com&nbsp;</b><b>is now available</b>

OneWayLimo.com (OWL) is now available throughout the state of South Carolina for travelers to have access to luxury transportation to and from the airport as well as for special events and general ground transportation.&nbsp;

It is also available at Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport.

OWL is not a limousine company, but an online booking system integrating with limo companies to fill their vehicles when they're empty.&nbsp;

"Our goal is to work with the entire black car market and offer travelers an alternative to Uber and Lyft,” said Joe Salemme, president and founder of OneWayLimo. “Customers simply log onto OneWayLimo.com for access to licensed, insured, clean and professionally operated vehicles at significantly reduced rates. OWL is doing for limo companies what Priceline and Expedia did for the airlines and hotels.&nbsp;

"Our booking process is simple and efficient. Book online for transportation to or from the airport, and for general ground transportation or contact us directly for special events like weddings and proms."&nbsp;

Founded in 2015, OneWayLimo, based in Shelton, Conn., is a luxury transportation brokerage company servicing all major cities on the East Coast. OneWayLimo offers a web application for consumers to access a network of professional, licensed and insured drivers for black car transportation to the airport, weddings or other events.&nbsp;
