History

---

Valera Global has operated as a luxury transportation service since its 1986 inception in New York City. Then known as Computer Car, the company’s first client, British Airways, was soon joined by others within the first year. Only two years later, The Concierge Guide to New York recognized Computer Car as the best ground travel provider in the city.

1997 marked Computer Car’s move to a multimillion-dollar facility in Long Island City where the company retains its corporate headquarters. In the years that followed, Computer Car perfected the rigorous chauffeur training programs that would become the hallmark of its business. The company expanded its service offerings, adding guaranteed and personal chauffeur services, and expanded its fleet through the introduction of specialty vehicles and luxury brands

In 2005, Computer Car experienced additional growth in New York and began to expand its network of partners to offer nationwide and international services to its loyal customers. These changes led to a re-branding of the company, retiring the Computer Car name and re-launching as Valera Global.

Valera Global has been featured in major business publications such as Crain’s New York and Investment News, and has received numerous accolades. Valera Global was named twice as a Finalist in the Entrepreneur of the Year Awards, Ernst & Young. The International Taxi & Livery Association (ITLA), a leading industry association, has awarded Valera Global “Best Working Environment” and “Chauffeur of the Year” honors.

Daus for contributing transportation services in the immediate aftermath of 9/11.
