PLIBA Car Rentals for Mobile Web Launched - 1st Worldwide Mobile Internet Car Rental Website
First mobile web car rental site allows mobile phone users to rent cars from 4,000 locations worldwide
Dublin, Ireland (PRWEB) May 28, 2007 -- Mobile Internet Booking providers PLIBA today announced the 1st global service for Car Rentals on the mobile web, offering an unbeaten choice of over 4,000 pick-up locations including every major airport and city. By browsing a mobile phone to PLIBA.mobi anyone with a GPRS or 3G phone can book discounted car rental securely on any wireless network.
The PLIBA ('Please Let It Be Available') mobile portal allows anyone to post anything to the list of services available for booking on the mobile Internet. PLIBA Car Rentals follows the launch of 10,000 budget accommodation listings on PLIBA Hostels last month, where larger partnerships are being used to increase the amount of bookable services to users of the portal. These are all available for quick reservation alongside many user generated items including restaurants, taxi companies and even students allowing others to book their time for language classes.
"With 1.3 billion Internet-enabled phones expected to be in use by this time next year, we'll soon have more potential online customers than even the largest travel portal on the traditional PC Internet," said Frank Cavanagh from PLIBA. "We have a mobile-only focus and our users appreciate that. PLIBA is fast and light, only shows essential booking information, and fits every mobile phone screen."
Market research shows that people want to be able to do things while on the move and without having to make a phone call - maybe while on the train to the airport, or sitting in a meeting where they can't talk or use a computer. PLIBA doesn't charge the user for this service, and it's easier for people to use PLIBA on their phone than to get out a laptop and go online. It's a lot more convenient, and often even cheaper than using a PC.
This a very exciting time for the mobile internet, and useful sites like PLIBA are helping it take off.
