This week, HelicopterHire.com<\/a> has been sold for a tremendous £90,000 ($119,000), making it the latest eye-watering sum to be paid for a domain. Purchased by national transport brokerage firm, Regency Car Hire<\/a> (owned by Transport Broker Group), it appears the domain has been bought to aid the group’s time of expansion, entering new markets; the first being supercar rental & helicopter charter.<\/p>\n

As the brains behind brands such as Regency, Limo Broker & Cars For Stars, the business is incredibly tech-focused, expected to stamp TBG’s name in the helicopter hire industry from the offset. Reporting to already be working on an online booking system as well as a price comparison application, the sky really is the limit for this new venture! Talking on these exciting times and new business focus, a representative of the firm says: <\/p>\n

‘Having been in business for over a decade, we are always being asked for high-end services such as helicopter charter. With a loyal customer base, we feel now is the right time to roll out this service, needing a strong domain name to do so. We are really excited to build out the website and introduce some revolutionary tech into this niche space.’<\/p>\n

Is Helicopterhire.com worth £90,000?<\/p>\n

As a prestigious and ‘keyword rich’ domain name, HelicopterHire.com has been in-demand for some time now, with numerous businesses bidding to add the domain to their online repertoire.<\/p>\n

According to Wikipedia<\/a>, here’s a few .com’s sold for crazy prices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Being in the digital era that we are, reports of such high domain name price tags are not rare, with domains that feature famous people or in-demand services fetching the most. Neymar.com is one of the latest to hit the headlines, expected to be sold for a 7-figure sum in light of his transfer to PSG. However on the other side HarveyWeinstein.com domain name sold for $695.<\/a><\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see Regency’s plans for HelicopterHire.com<\/a> – a new website seems to be up already, so they’re certainly moving fast.<\/p>\n
