Business Travel News on X

Chauffeur company Blacklane has launched services in 32 cities across the world, bringing its total to more than 300 destinations globally.

The official 300th city, according to Blacklane, is Limerick in the Republic of Ireland, where customers can now book chauffeur-driven cars.

The company is offering 20 per cent off one-way or hourly rides booked today (5 September) via its website or app in any of its cities using the code LIMERICK2018.  

In addition to Limerick, the firm has launched services in 31 cities in Bahrain, France, Germany, Greece, Italy and Switzerland, as well as India, Indonesia, Japan and Malaysia.

All of the company’s chauffeur rides are booked with guaranteed all-inclusive rates, instant confirmations and up to one hour’s free driver waiting time at airports or 15 minutes at other locations.

For businesses, Blacklane offers full duty of care support with commercially licensed and insured English-speaking drivers, chauffeur meet and greet including luggage assistance and free changes and cancellations for transfers up to one hour before pick-up. In addition, the firm offers real-time flight tracking and adjustment of pick-up times according to actual arrival estimates, chauffeur contact information sent via SMS and email one our prior to pick-up, 24/7 multilingual customer service via phone, email and social media.

Blacklane’s rides are certified carbon neutral, either in emissions-free vehicles such as new Teslas or through the company’s carbon offset programme.
