Carmel Car and Limousine Service

Expands Network to 43 U.S. Cities

NEW YORK, October 28, 2008 -- Carmel Car and Limousine Service announced today that its nationwide network of affiliated car services, Carmel USA, has expanded to 43 U.S. cities, including such major destinations as Los Angeles, Chicago, and Atlanta, and that it expects to offer the service in 52 cities by year-end.

The service enables travelers who use Carmel in New York to also arrange ground transportation for their travel destinations.  Reservations can be made through Carmel’s regular telephone system -- 212-666-6666 or 1-800-9Carmel – or its computerized reservation system – www.carmellimo.com.

“Carmel USA is a seamless service that offers great convenience to the traveling public,” said Dr. Avik Kabessa, Carmel’s president and chief operating officer.  “Carmel USA has invested significant effort selecting its network affiliates to ensure the most reliable and most affordable transportation for our customers and partners.

“We will continue to expand our network to additional cities and expect to serve a total of 52 markets by the end of the year, including all major U.S. cities and tourism destinations.”

Carmel was founded 25 years ago and in the years since then has become the leader in the New York City metro area for value-priced, consumer-focused Town Car service. Carmel’s strengths include its superior management team and its proprietary, computerized reservation and dispatch system that allow it to deliver the industry’s leading on-time record.  Carmel USA has adopted the same business model that has made Carmel the leading consumer car service in the New York City metro area, offering Lincoln Town Cars at a reasonable price.
