Blacklane welcomes St. Petersburg and Kiev. The premium chauffeur service expands in Russia and finally starts in the Ukraine! (news with additional features)
Following the latest success with worldwide launches in São Paolo, Dubai and Buenos Aires, Blacklane is also continuing its expansion in the eastern direction. Kiev is the first city in the Ukraine, in which the limousines can be booked and St. Petersburg follows Moscow which was launched last week. 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 also in the eastern metropolises. St. Petersburg, Russia’s cultural capital is also called the ‘Venice of the North’, as its various bridges and winding canals attracts thousands of visitors every year. Whether travelers arrive at Pulkovo Airport or want to have a comfortable ride to one of St. Petersburg’s historical and grandiose sights such as the St. Isaac’s Cathedral and the Mariinsky Theatre, with Blacklane they have the right transportation partner by their side. As the capital and largest city of Ukraine, Kiev is the country’s most important city in terms of culture, politics, and economy, with some 240 000 businesses exisiting within the city. The ongoing expansion of Kiev’s international airport is just one of many indicators of the city’s steadily growing importance. Having received overwhelmingly positive feedback wherever it launches, 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. Cars can be booked up to fifteen minutes before the customer’s required pick-up time. After booking, customers receive a confirmation of their order as well as their chauffeur’s contact details. 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.
