Ok, for the past 2 months the ground transportation industry has been flooded with blog and forum discussions about the new objective scoring system called the GroundCar Score.
The GroundCar Score was created by the Owner of TransportationReviews.com, Todd Nemet, as a way to provide objective information to travelers booking ground transportation reservations online. Prior to the creation of the GroundCar Score the existing internet limousine directories, shuttle directories, and other transportation related sites provided only subjective user generated reviews.
Over time, it was realized that dishonest companies were slandering the competition and using fake positive reviews about their own company. It also became obvious that the big online reservation booking agencies were also giving biased preferential treatment based on which companies were paying them the highest royalty or affiliate commission.
The internet was like the wild, wild west in the ground transportation arena. It became impossible to distinguish safe, reliable companies from fraudulent ones… At least until TransportationReviews.com developed the GroundCare Score system and a directory that listed companies in order of their objective score.
This score is based on multiple factors, including certifications and permits, whether or not the site name and address match public record data, site security, and a host of other factors. Not only that, the directory lists companies in order of this score so that companies can see how they compare to their competition.
Many industry experts believe that this GroundCar Score will revolutionize the limousine industry and make it better. Regardless, one thing is for certain, an objective scoring system will help provide potential clients with more comfort and security when they are booking reservations online.
Here is a video from TransportationReviews.com explaining the GroundCar Score:
