Our take
Business transport for frequent travellers can be a difficult process. The pain of booking systems, invoicing, and inconsistent quality of services are issues travellers regularly face, hindering business operations and causing unnecessary delays. Chauffeurs also experience empty cars due to non-optimised booking processes.
Blacklane aims at the higher end of the market, targeting corporate workers, executives and those who have the means to pay extra for higher levels of service when they travel. Through a booking system available on the company's website and in-app, Blacklane provides a reliable high-end service with inclusive pricing and on-call customer support. Blacklane also works for chauffeurs, filling empty seats to optimise services.
The company is also environmentally conscious, operating as a carbon-neutral company since 2017. The company offers electric vehicle rides in more than 30 of its 300 operational cities, and by 2025, aims for 75 percent of all rides to be in EVs. With substantial funding from Mercedes Benz in 2022, it seems set to meet these objectives.
