Sabre Travel Network and Global Ground Automation today announced the launch of a new black car, limo and airport transfer booking service available through the Sabre Red Workspace.

The new offering provides travel agents with convenient access to reputable ground travel service providers who offer global services, and competitive rates and commissions.

“It’s fantastic to work with suppliers like Global Ground Automation who clearly value the Sabre global distribution system,” said Chris Kroeger, senior vice president of Sabre Travel Network.

“Sabre is pleased to offer this new service as part of Sabre Red to help make managing ground transportation more efficient for agents.”

Through this agreement, Sabre-connected travel agents can shop for and book ground transportation taking into account individual traveller preferences and booking history details.

Travel agents also have the opportunity to earn an average commission of $20 per round trip from the service provider when selling ground services through the Sabre Red Workspace.

“We are proud to deliver a powerful, enterprise-class ground transportation offering to agents using the Sabre Red Workspace,” said Gregg Tuccillo, president of Global Ground Automation.

“Whether booking for the business or leisure traveller, agents now have the ability to drive additional benefits to their travellers while earning very competitive commissions.”
