Blacklane is a premium, global chauffeur service built around the idea that travel should feel seamless - before, during, and after every ride. The company connects travelers with a worldwide crew of professional chauffeurs through its app and booking platform, offering options such as long-distance rides, airport transfers, and hourly and full-day hire. On its About page, Blacklane describes its vision of the future of travel as 'seamless, sustainable, and ethical,' with an emphasis on making top-quality service convenient and accessible worldwide.
Founded in 2011 by Jens Wohltorf and Frank Steuer, Blacklane has grown from a two-person operation in Germany into an international team of 300+ people, with hubs in Singapore, Spain, the U.A.E., the U.K., and the U.S. Blacklane states that it works with independent, local chauffeur service providers and facilitates these rides rather than owning or controlling them. The platform calculates pricing based on factors like vehicle class, distance, and drive time, and positions itself as a sustainable mobility provider through carbon-offset practices and a move toward electric vehicles.
