Five new Blacklane cities in the States! Welcome Pittsburgh, Charlotte, San Jose, Riverside, and Honolulu (News mit Zusatzmaterial)
Following the latest success in the United States with the previous launches in Los Angeles, New York City and San Francisco, Blacklane now sets its rapid growth forth in another five cities: Pittsburgh, Charlotte, San Jose, Riverside, and Honolulu. 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 in the States 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.’ Given that the United States is a major destination for travelers from all over the world, expanding the limousine and chauffeur service further in the States’ biggest and most important cities was just a matter of time. ‘Growing further in the States and fulfilling the needs of travelers has been a dream of Blacklane and now it’s finally coming true.’ Wohltorf continues. Pittsburgh is the second largest city in the US state Pennsylvania. ‘We believe that Pittsburgh has high potential of becoming a successful Blacklane city. The so-called City of Steel attracts many business travelers.’ Wohltorf says. The Pittsburgh International Airport is located 30km from the city centre. ‘Blacklane offers comfortable airport transfers for those who do not want to rely on a taxi.’ He continues. Charlotte, the biggest city in North Carolina, has a strong economy with 10 Fortune 500 companies headquartered here. The city is the largest financial center by assets in the U.S. after New York, with the Bank of America headquartered here, and more than 240 energy-oriented organizations in the region. ‘Blacklane launches its service in Charlotte to finally connect its partner network to North Carolina.’ Frank Steuer, also co-founder, states. Blacklane is already available in California’s biggest cities Los Angeles and San Diego. ‘We are proud to finally extend our network to San Jose.’ Steuer says. As the so-called Capital of Silicon Valley, it is a major hub for business travelers from all over the world. ‘These travelers already know the Blacklane chauffeur service and are happy to be now able to also use it when traveling to San Jose.’ He continues. Riverside has more than 300.000 residents. It attracts young visitors and students, who come to study at the California University Riverside. ‘Our prices are competitive with the taxi rates in Riverside.’ Steuer says. ‘Blacklane wants to be a chauffeur service for everybody that wants to have easy access to a new way of ground transportation.’ He states. With Honolulu, Blacklane extends its service in the United States to the 28th city. ‘As capital of Hawaii, it is a major hub for tourists, who come to Honolulu to relax. We want the relaxation to start right upon arrival at the airport with a comfortable ride with Blacklane to the hotel.’ Wohltorf comments. The limousine service is now available in 28 cities in the United States: Chicago, New York City, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Boston, Miami, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Las Vegas, Orlando, Houston, Dallas, Philadelphia, Detroit, Atlanta, Seattle, San Diego, Denver, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Phoenix, Tampa, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Charlotte, San Jose, Honolulu, and Riverside. ‘And there is no end in sight!’ Frank Steuer states. Having received overwhelmingly positive feedback wherever it launches, 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 vehicles (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 or debit card and, for 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 countries all over the world: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China (incl.
