My recent experience with your customer service has been disappointing and has fallen short of the standard we expect from a professional partner. Unfortunately, several areas have consistently missed the mark: Delayed Follow-Up Responses have been slow or nonexistent, forcing us to repeatedly follow up on matters that should have been resolved promptly. This has caused unnecessary frustration and delays. Poor System Usability Your system is cumbersome and difficult to navigate. Tasks that should be simple often require multiple attempts or assistance, which creates inefficiency and wastes valuable time. Inconsistent Communication The information we receive varies depending on who we speak with or which platform we’re using. This inconsistency has made it difficult to trust the accuracy of your guidance or processes. We’re disappointed that these issues remain ongoing despite prior attempts to work through them. At this stage, it’s clear that improvements are urgently needed to restore confidence in your service and systems.

my last ride was not worthy of the name Blacklane. I flew in First Class with swiss and your driver did not picked me up. No sign - no driver. I had to call him twice to figure out, where he was. After 10 min I found him in front of the JFK airport. Not at the pick up G, as discussed in my second call. My RyderCup weekend started super! As bad as it gets, the driver was not able to drive his car in the JFK stop and go traffic. 70 min of go & brake, but not the normal way. Maybe I am a conservative German, but I am not, I am a German Disco owner. Make a long story short - this was not the blackline quality I know.

I was deceived into thinking the app only offered luxury cars, since the only option listed was “Mercedes-Benz EQS or similar.” To my surprise, a GMC Yukon showed up—an older model that looked more like a shared ride than anything premium. It was honestly one of the biggest disappointments of the year.

The driver booked from my hotel to JFK was lazy, unhelpful, indecisive if not appalling. His choice was to hesitate and argue rather than provide assistance and a solution to the inadequate manner in which he loaded my luggage into his car. The hopeless exercise resulted in my hotel concierge calling me a standard taxi to take me to the airport. The cost was $72.00 USD. After 3 weeks of travel worldwide I did not once experience such a dreadful driver. I will advise American Express Centurion accordingly.

We were very pleased with the driver. On time and very pleasant. However when I received the final bill, they overcharged me 1/2 extra time. This wasn't true. The driver even commented that he dropped us off exactly at 1 pm, 3 hour ride.. Then they charged additional 22 KLM. They determined the 140 KLM would be sufficient, we had no indication they would charge extra based on their mileage calculation. They say they have a help centre, they only have answers to questions, no ability to connect with someone about our issues. After further dialogue with the company they have reverse the charges for the extra 1/2 hour and mileage. Based on these changes have rated the company differently..

I request to log a complaint to Emirates chauffeur driver, Ka Tsun (Kanny) Chan, who picked me up at Hong Kong Airport on 17th September evening. His attitude and service was terrible. The driver slammed my luggages onto the ground when arrived the drop off destination. This resulted in immediate damage to one of the wheels of my luggages. Please reply to my email pandasa6688@gmail.com on how you would handle my case asap. Thank you.

I booked my Blacklane ride to London Heathrow 2.5 weeks in advance to avoid last-minute travel stress. An hour before pickup, I even received a notification that my driver was on the way. Shockingly, the ride was canceled just 30 minutes before pickup. This was completely unacceptable. With Tube strikes happening that day, I had almost no alternatives and nearly missed my international flight. A premium pre-booked chauffeur service should never fail its customers like this, especially with no time to recover. I will never book with Blacklane again. If you value reliability and peace of mind before a flight, look elsewhere.

Blacklane pick up at the Globe Theatre left us without a ride. I would think you had a means to know when the show time actually ended. The show ran longer & we hurried out the door 10 min before it ended to our Blacklane ride. He would not wait. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Dear Winston, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you faced during your pick up after the show. We understand that timing is critical, especially when events run longer than expected and it’s disappointing that we didn’t meet your needs on this occasion. Please note that your 30 minute waiting period begins from the scheduled pickup time. As chauffeurs don’t receive live updates on show end times, we appreciate your understanding if there are any timing variations. We hope to see you on board of our vehicles in the near future for much smoother experience. Warmest regards, Jacob

Please note, the driver was quite rude, saying he was waiting for 45 minutes but he wasn’t as he was still enroute at 10:58. We waited by his car and called Blacklane. We texted the driver twice (11:05) but the texts came back saying “sorry we cannot find your booking”. We also checked with him about going a southern route which would take 1hr 44min. But he said it would be triple the fare and we had to go the route booked, which was 2hr and 30 min. He then changed the route himself and I said “I thought you cannot change the route” - he said “well, I can, if I make the decision”. He had a massive attitude, said at one point they he will “stop talking” and was generally very rude - esp considering he knew it was our honeymoon!
