Berlin-based Blacklane is a relatively young global car hire service provider but since its establishment in 2011, it has achieved a presence in 250 cities worldwide including several in Asia-Pacific such as Bangkok, Hong Kong, Hyderabad and Melbourne.
It streamlines the car hire process by facilitating bookings on its website (www.blacklane.com) and via a mobile app, allowing a choice of car type from business class sedans and vans to luxury vehicles, and presenting upon confirmation the total fare which includes all taxes, tolls, fees and tips. Hourly bookings and one-way hires are available.
Blacklane tracks travellers’ flights and train rides, so pickups are ensured even with delayed arrivals. Furthermore, a 15-minute waiting time is included in all standard pickups, and one hour is included for airport and train station pickups.
A corporate solution is offered too, and it comes with a key account manager, 24-hour customer care, a consolidated corporate account, a corporate portal to track all rides, and flexible payment options, among other features.
