Blacklane GmbH
Welcome Bucharest and Lisbon. Blacklane sets its European expansion forth. The chauffeur service is now available in the capital cities of Portugal and Romania (news with additional features)
Following the latest success with the worldwide launches in Johannesburg, New York City and Hong Kong, Blacklane is now continuing its expansion in Europe, in Bucharest and Lisbon. 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 Europe’s most important cities.’ Bucharest is a rapidly growing center for industry and an important transportation hub in eastern Europe. As well as being the capital of Romania, the city is also the country’s most populated and is a major driving force for the Romanian economy. Blacklane will be there to meet all your travel needs in Bucharest, from reservation to destination and everywhere in between. Portugals capital is more than just a city for tourists. Blacklane expects its service to be just as successful as in every other European city where it’s already available. ‘We have a lot of customers who travel to Lisbon for business meetings,’ says Wohltorf, adding ‘It was the next logical step for us, to offer our service in Lisbon and to serve as a perfect alternative to the taxi and as a comfortable airport transfer.’ 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 vehicles (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. Blacklane limousines can now be booked in 27 countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China (incl. Hong Kong and Macau), Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the U.K. and the U.S. About Blacklane Blacklane GmbH, a Berlin-based company, provides individual and corporate customers with a mobile booking service for high quality chauffeur and limousine services, with transparent and attractive rates.
