Premium ride hailing app Li-nk launches in Singapore

First class vehicles like an Audi 8L can be booked for $145 per hour.

After 10 years of providing on-ground limousine service, premium ride provider Wolero decided to expand from a web-only platform and launch its free hailing app called Li-nk.

The app instantly connects passengers to professional chauffeurs, with a pre-booking service starting from one hour to six days in advance, according to an announcement.

There will be two types of vehicles in in Singapore: a Sedan fleet which consists of Mercedes-Benz E-Class and S-Class, BMW 5 and 7 series, and Audi A6 for a maximum of four passengers and the MPV fleet which consists of Toyota Vellfire and Alphard, Mercedes Viano and V-class for a maximum of six passengers.

Hourly rates can hit $145 for first class vehicles Audi A8L and Mercedes S Class, but can go as low as $70 for business class vehicles Mercedes E Class and Audi A6.

The Li-nk app carries a pricing policy which charges passengers of fare stated at the time of booking, even up to six days in advance, regardless of varying conditions or surges in demand at the time the journey is undertaken.

By 2020, Li-nk plans to partner premium limousine service providers in major cities around the world.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
