Houston and Dallas are the new 'Blacklane Cities' in the U.S. The limousine and chauffeur service Blacklane expands its areas of operation in the U.S. faster than expected (news with additional features)
(firmenpresse) - (DGAP-Media / 27.08.2013 / 19:00)
Following the tremendous success in the United States with the previous
launches in New York City, Miami,and Orlando, Blacklane is now setting off
in Houston and Dallas. Blacklane offers a new alternative in daily
transportation needs, providing customers with airport transfers,
transportation to and from meetings and as-directed chauffeur services.
'We say that we go where our customers go, and we really mean it.' 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 inevitable. 'The United
States offers a lot of possibilities. People welcome us and we get the
impression that the Americans were just waiting for the Blacklane limousine
service,' Wohltorf says.
Houston is the biggest city in Texas and the fourth most populous city in
the United States. It's also home to world-renowned energy, biomedical, and
aeronautics industries and is a major destination for business and finance.
Being the country's center of oil production it also attracts many business
travelers. 'Blacklane offers these travelers the perfect alternative to
taking a taxi and is confident that our limousine service will be as
successful in Houston as it has been in our other American cities,' Jens
Wohltorf continues.
The second Texan city this week is Dallas. 'We are launching in Dallas
because it is among the top ten most populous cities in the United States,'
Frank Steuer, also co-founder states. 'And one of the most productive in
terms of GDP - not least because of its high concentration of international
Fortune 500 companies,' he continues. Originally a center for oil and
cotton production, Dallas now has a largely diverse economy which includes
finance, IT, medical facilities, and research. By choosing Blacklane,
business people and tourists alike can rest assured they won't have to
worry about how they'll be getting around town.
Blacklane is now available in 12 cities in the United States: Chicago, New
York City, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Boston, Miami, Los Angeles,
Baltimore, Las Vegas, Orlando, Houston, and Dallas 'And there is no end in
sight.' Frank Steuer, also co-founder, 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 pickup time.
After booking, customers receive a confirmation of their reservation as
well as their chauffeur's contact details. Payments can be made by credit
ordebit 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 19 countries: Australia, Austria,
Belgium, Canada, China (incl. Hong Kong and Macau), Colombia, Czech
Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, the Netherlands,
Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, the U.K., and the U.S.
