Blacklane GmbH
Blacklane starts its chauffeur service in India! 4 new cities will be launched: Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai. (news with additional features)
Following the latest success with worldwide launches in Asia, North and South America, and Australia, Blacklane is finally coming to India, to Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Chennai. The international company offers a new alternative in daily transportation needs, providing customers with airport transfers, transportation to and from meetings, and as-directed chauffeur services. ‘Our aim is to accompany our customers globally, wherever they want to go,’ states Dr. Jens Wohltorf, co-founder of Blacklane, adding, ‘We are on the way to becoming the number one international companion for their entire journey. Therefore it is also important to offer our chauffeur service in every big country in the world.’ Not only is Delhi the capital of India, it’s also one of the largest cities in the world. Known as a center for trade, finance, and business, Delhi is also home to some of the country’s most magnificent historical buildings, such as the Red Fort and the Jama Masjid. Mumbai is India’s economic center and home to its most important port. Being one of the most populous cities in the world, its importance in the global business market is growing every day. ‘It was the next logical step to offer our limousine service in Mumbai,’ Wohltorf says, adding, ‘Thousands of business travelers arrive in Mumbai Chatrapati Shivaji International Airport looking for a comfortable way to get to their meetings or hotels. With Blacklane, they can rest assured they’ll get a pleasant and luxurious ride.’ Bangalore is India’s third biggest city with more than 8 million inhabitants. The infrastructure and the standard of the public transportation in Bangalore are still very much obsolete. ‘When business people come to Bangalore, they can get directly get into a Blacklane limousine and ensure a comfortable ride to their hotel.’ Home to one of India’s busiest airports, Chennai is one of the country’s leading centers for commerce and education. Formerly known as Madras, the city also has a rich cultural heritage, including the Kapaleeshwarar Temple and the San Thome Cathedral, and attracts some 13 million visitors every year. Having received overwhelmingly positive feedback wherever it launches, and especially in Europe, Blacklane is firmly establishing itself as one of the leading international players in the limousine service industry. ‘Local providers welcome us wherever we show up, knowing that we’ll add to their revenue instead of diminishing it.’ Bookings can be made around the clock, online, or with the company’s smartphone app. After specifying their pick-up location and booking period or desired destination, customers can choose from one of three classes of vehicle (Business Class, Business Van /SUV, First Class) at a binding fixed price including all taxes and fees.

Payments can be made by credit card, and companies can be billed on a monthly basis. All customer invoices can easily be downloaded from their MyBlacklane account.
