Hughes Limousines has been in operation since 1904 and it is no secret that times have changed considerably since those days of horse and cart.

Hughes has spent all of these years setting itself as the benchmark in the chauffeur industry and expanding its services to every major centre in Australia.

Although Hughes has been in operation for 113 years, in the past year some of the largest technological advancements in the company’s history have been made. These advancements benefit the traveller; however, the biggest improvements have been made with EA’s and PA’s in mind. Some of these advancements that set Hughes apart are:

Online Booking Portal Once you have opened an account, which is a quick and easy process, you can manage all Ground Transport around Australia from the comfort of your own PC. You can do the following online using Hughes’ brand-new portal:

• Make new bookings

• Edit existing bookings

• Cancel existing bookings

• Oversee all past, current and future bookings

• Track vehicles live via the GPS link (from 30 minutes prior to pick up time)

• Receive chauffeur and vehicle registration details as soon as a chauffeur is allocated to a transfer

• Modify the booking overview to suit your requirements

• Manage passenger’s profiles, including adding frequently used addresses

• Set up new users to access the Hughes Online Portal

• Retrieve invoices as soon as they have been made available

• Message your local Hughes office directly, without having to send a separate email.

Automated SMS Message with GPS Tracking

30 minutes prior to a pickup, Hughes sends an automated SMS to the passenger with the chauffeurs’ name, vehicle make, model, colour, registration and a link to track the vehicle via GPS. The Hughes direct 1300 number is also listed in case the passenger needs to contact the office for any reason.

This automated SMS can be sent to multiple mobiles, including the passengers EA if required. This can all be arranged at the time of booking.

The GPS link remains live right until the Hughes chauffeur has dropped the passenger off at their destination, meaning you can track the vehicle from your phone or PC to ensure the passenger gets to where they need to go on time and safely.

Automated Email Confirmations

As soon as a booking is made either via the online portal or through a Hughes office, an automated email confirmation will be sent. At the time of booking, you can decide who the email confirmation goes to.

Secondary SMS is Sent for Airport Pick-ups

One of the biggest issues travellers have is trying to locate their chauffeur at a busy airport. Hughes has introduced an automated SMS that goes to the traveller when they land advising where their Hughes chauffeur is waiting for them. This saves any stress and wasted time that comes from not being able to locate the chauffeur once you land.

New Fleet

Hughes has the latest Premium sedans, including BMW 7 Series, Mercedes S Class and Audi A8’s. Hughes also has the latest model SUV’s, vans, people movers, buses and coaches that can all be booked through your online portal, via email or over the phone.
