Blacklane GmbH
Down Under Take Five. Blacklane welcomes Perth and Adelaide. With the two new cities the global chauffeur service extends its offer in Australia (news with additional features)
Following the latest success with worldwide launches in Asia, North and South America, and Africa, Blacklane is continuing its expansion in Australia. Perth and Adelaide are the fourth and fifth Australian Blacklane cities. 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 city on every continent, also in Australia.’ With Adelaide, Blacklane finally connects Australia’s South to its global chauffeur network. ‘Adelaide is the so-called festival city and venue of the Glenelg Jazz Festival and the Adelaide Festival of Arts.’ Frank Steuer, also co-founder, says, ‘When visitors arrive at Adelaide Airport they can easily take a Blacklane Limousine and have a ride to their hotel or meeting.’ He continues. Lying on Australia’s west coast, Perth is the fourth most populous city on the continent. ‘Blacklane is now available in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.’ Steuer says, ‘We are proud to finally continue our expansion in Australia.’ 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. 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 39 countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China (incl. Hong Kong and Macau), Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Israel, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Vietnam, the U.K. and the U.S.
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. Acting as a head office for limousine services, Blacklane does not possess its own vehicles but rather partners with existing providers to allow customers to enjoy comfortable journeys at inexpensive, fixed prices. The company currently employs more than 60 staff members. Find further information at www.blacklane.com.
