Carey International unveils new subsidiary Embarque
Carey International, a provider of chauffeured transportation and value-added logistics management, has launched its new subsidiary company Embarque, at the 42nd annual National Business Travel Association (NBTA) International Convention and Exposition.
The new safe, reliable and environmentally responsible chauffeured transportation company features a 100% Carbon Balanced fleet of US EPA SmartWay certified vehicles, a dedicated team of certified professional drivers, and affordable, transparent pricing.
Carey International president and CEO Gary Kessler said that the international launch of Embarque marks a substantial shift in Carey International's portfolio of services, but not the way Carey does business.
Embarque is the end result of Carey, once again, listening to the needs and challenges of the travel marketplace and reacting with a tangible solution that meaningfully addresses the concerns of our customers, Kessler said.
Embarque was developed and refined over the past year through a series of trial launches in multiple cities across the US and the UK, beginning with Chicago in 2009.
Carey International Operations SVP Sally Snead said that the company began testing the Embarque product in Chicago last year, and based upon overwhelmingly positive customer feedback, they began to slowly introduce the product in other cities.
As the product rolled out slowly throughout the testing phase, we were able to make certain adjustments and improvements before we launched in subsequent markets-the result of this past year of research and testing is simply a great final product, Snead said.
The company said that Embarque service is currently available in Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, London, Los Angeles, New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, Orange County, San Francisco, Stamford, and Washington DC, with more cities to be added throughout 2011.
