Terrible! The driver was not where I told them to pick me up and had to walk far with all my luggage and I was there for a job with extra luggage and I had to pull all the heavy luggage because you couldn't listen to instructions. It was stressful and a taxi would of been much better and attentive. You need to change your vendor in Naples. The worst service ever!!

I booked a First Class ride with Blacklane (Booking #103589960) for 3:55 am to Gatwick, hoping for a seamless and safe transfer. Unfortunately, the experience was the exact opposite — upsetting and distressing. The driver arrived at the wrong location and had no idea where he was. I was left alone on the street in the middle of the night, calling him repeatedly to guide him. This completely defeated the purpose of choosing Blacklane over cheaper alternatives like Uber — I paid a premium to avoid this very situation. When he eventually arrived, he did not assist me with my heavy luggage — I had to drag it three blocks alone. Worse, he was rude, combative, and argumentative throughout the journey, making me feel extremely unsafe. As a woman traveling alone at 4 am, this was terrifying. I reached out to Blacklane immediately, asking for a full refund and assurances this would be addressed, but received only an automated response. For nearly £300, I expected professional service and basic decency — neither of which were delivered. I cannot recommend Blacklane based on this experience. If safety and reliability matter to you, look elsewhere.

Unable to connect with customer service. Literally impossible - on hold for 30 minutes multiple times before giving up. Chat link is broken - useless to have a driving service if you can't reach someone when you need help. Cancelling and will just use uber.

Twice in a row, in Paris and in LA, your drivers showed up in cars with license plate numbers different than those texted to me which made the cars difficult to find as I w always meet curbside. Also, I tried to order a Blacklane in LA at 5 PM last Wednesday for a 7 PM pick-up and I precluded from ordering and had to use a different service. Not good!!!

I am writing this review because I am honestly shocked at how poorly our recent booking was handled. We trusted Blacklane with a fleet of seven vehicles for a major event, and what should have been a seamless, premium experience was instead a chaotic and stressful ordeal. The issues began when a minor scheduling change was needed for one car. The drivers were inflexible and impatient, refusing to help directly and forcing me to call Blacklane's support line. It was impossible to get through. For over 30 minutes, two of us were desperately trying to reach someone, only for Blacklane’s only action to be calling the driver to ask for their permission. It was a pointless, stressful hassle that solved nothing. The drivers' conduct was equally unprofessional. One attempted to direct my handling of the other cars—telling me to release vehicles before passengers had even arrived—and then had the audacity to request a 5-star review. Another driver smoked a cigarette while waiting for our passengers and then threatened to leave if we took much longer, effectively threatening to leave them stranded. The whole experience was a chaotic disaster. The complete lack of accessible support, combined with the unprofessionalism of the drivers, created a mess. There was no semblance of the premium service Blacklane advertises. For any event that requires coordination, reliability, and professional conduct, I strongly advise against using them based on this experience.

The Blacklane experience should be seamless, with our chauffeurs and customer concierges always going the extra mile to accommodate your needs. This is especially important when you are at a major event, as many complex pieces of the puzzle need to fit together perfectly for things to go right. I would really like to investigate what went wrong with your booking, and help provide a resolution that works for you. If you haven't already, I kindly ask you to email your booking number to guestrelations@blacklane.com. We take our service standards seriously and we want to make this right. Kindest regards, Chloe

When I specifically ordered a Mercedes Benz Sprinter as there were four passengers with 6 large and 4 small pieces of luggage a large SUV arrived. NOT ACCEPTABLE. It meant that one person was in the front passenger’s seat, two in the back seat and one in the single third row seat as the double seat had to be folded down to accommodate the luggage. A very uncomfortable ride from the airport to the hotel. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN BLACKLANE.

I was really expecting so much more when ordering with this company. When the car picked me up I thought to myself “I should have just ordered an uber black”. The driver was nice, but the car had a smell of smoke. There was no sign at the airport with my name. The car was a Lincoln Navigator and I was expecting a Mercedes or a car within that class of luxury. I was really disappointed that I spent more money on a car that I expected to have an exclusive experience. It fell short on so many levels. There was nothing that represented a luxury experience. I would not recommend spending this money when you can get a nicer car and experience through other ride share programs.

The driver couldn’t be bothered to wait a few extra minutes for a minor delay. I personally called him and clearly instructed him to reschedule the pickup time. Not only did he ignore my request and show up at the original time, but he also had the audacity to leave at the time I had asked him to arrive. This is completely unacceptable and shows a total lack of professionalism and basic customer service. A truly disappointing and frustrating experience.

Very poor last time. Emirates made the reservation for my trip to the Houston airport on May 21 at 16:55. I was surprised to receive an e-mail in the morning of May 21 that my reservation had been canceled. I called Emirates, who tried to call Blacklane to rectify the situation, but couldn’t get through. I stayed on the phone for over an hour, and then got cut off. They gave me a number to call, and I called that number, and waited and waited. Finally one living breathing person responded. She spent another 5 to 10 minutes, and then wanted to transfer me to another department. To my surprise, I was transferred back to the same place where I started, listening to the same music and announcements. By this time, I’ve spent about three hours on this, and was running out of time. I then made a new reservation, which cost me $196.00. to get to the airport. I want this charge refunded.

You guys totally screwed this up. When we first booked the car and gave the flight info, your booking showed the wrong arrival time. I tried to call you to tell you that you had the wrong time, and was on hold for 30 minutes, so hung up. Then we texted you. We were told not to worry, you track the flight. The plane did not land at the time you had, it landed after 11:30, which was the scheduled arrival time when we booked the car. If I could give zero stars, I would. You are supposed to track the plane. You apparently didnt. When the passenger landed, no car was there and when she called you, no one ever picked up.
