5 Reasons Why You Should Skip Other Ride Share Apps and Use This Car Service Instead When Traveling
Ever had an Uber or Lyft that couldn’t fit all your luggage or parked over a block away and asked you to go to them instead? These are some of my biggest pet peeves when traveling. After a long flight, the last thing I want to do is wait in line for a taxi or worse, LAX-IT with all my luggage to a designated area for ride-shares.
During this summer, I was hopping around Paris, Versailles, Vienna, Barcelona, and San Sebastian on a very tight itinerary, I was introduced to Blacklane through a travel advisor and it changed the way I look at ground transportation when traveling. So when I was planning my trip to London around the holidays with 6+ hotels I was visiting, I knew Blacklane would help make my life 100x easier and it did.
Here are 5 Reasons why you should skip other ride-share services and use Blacklane instead
1. Always on Time- I’ve used Blacklane for both airport transfers and rides around the city and they’ve always been 15 mins early. For airport transfers, they have greet and meet and will wait an hour free of charge. They also monitor your flight time to make sure they adapt to any changes.
2. White Glove Service- Let’s face it, most ride-share services don’t always help with your luggage. I’ve literally have had rides where the driver popped the trunk and let me do all the work. Granted, they are not required to help you, but when you travel with multiple luggage, it helps having someone there to take care of all of that for you. For airport pickups, they offer meet and greet. For all my hotel pickups, they always communicate with the hotel valet upon arrival for a seamless transition with all my luggage.
3. Picks You Up Exactly Where you Requested- This should be a no brainer, but how many times have you had an uber or lyft that parked a block away and asked you to go meet them instead? This is probably the biggest frustration I have with most ride-share apps. Blacklane will pick you up precisely where you’ve requested and if they are not at the right location, they will come to you instead of asking you to go to them.
4. Comfort and Cleanliness- When you order a car from Blacklane, you can choose Business Class or First Class where you are in control of what you will be getting (they actually list the type of cars you’ll get in the app) whereas other ride-share apps you never know what you’ll be getting. The problem I’ve encountered in the past with ride-share apps is even when you order the right car, sometimes they can’t accommodate my luggage. Cleanliness is so important especially in today’s climate, you will never have to worry about that with Blacklane.
5. Consistency of the quality of service- This is what impressed me the most about Blacklane. I’ve used them across multiple cities in different countries and the consistency of the quality of service is impressive. This level of global dependability is rare and it is the main reason why I truly stand behind and support the brand.
Ride-share apps are convenient for your everyday rides. When you feel like elevating the way you ride around town for business or specific occasions, Blacklane is definitely the superior choice. Not only do they offer airport transfers, you can order them for any rides around the city as well. The best part is you can also order them by the hour. This is perfect if you have multiple business meetings around the city or have multiple locations you want to hit for special occasions.
