Mozio finds fliers a ride to and from SF airport in another car service startup


Skift Take

Imagine Hipmunk for airport transporation. The site will be especially helpful when expanded to cities with fewer transportation than San Francisco where tech-savvy fliers can call Uber and Lyft.

The San Francisco-based startup provides a database of ground transportation options and prices for travelers getting to and from the airport . Mozio is currently in private beta but users can request to join and it will launch publicly on Oct. 19. Mozio will start out with the San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose airports, but hopes to hit the top 40 airports by the end of the calendar year.  The company has financial backing from the chairman of Orbitz and several angel investors.

Mozio is working to create databases for individual cities that allow travelers to search any of their ground transportation options to and from the airport, comparing prices and services just as sites like Kayak do for flights.
