Two issues. The driver was going to an incorrect pickup location and we had to send an email to correct the error. The driver dropped us off at the wrong terminal at the airport. We had told him which airline we were flying with so it was his error. Overall a poor experience.

Blacklane has also been my company's go to for transportation needs however on Friday night you left my client stranded at IAH. Your driver was supposed to pick up Roxana Diaz unfortunatley she was delayed in clearing customs because of the TSA shut down. Roxana was communicating with the driver so he was aware she had landed and was making her way through customs. The driver left the airport saying the passenger was a no show which was not true given the fact that they had be texting each other. I would totally understand the driver leaving had they not been communicating. Insrtead he left without telling Ms Diaz, apparently they just missed each other had he waited another 5 minutes all would have been good. Ms Diaz was delayed an hour while another driver was located to pick her up and added an additional cost of $ 432.00. I will say the Blacklane rep who helped me re book a pick up did a very good job given the tense situation. I am very disappointed that I can't count on Blacklane to provide service. I will have to give serious consideration before my company books another trip with Blacklane.

There’s no benefit when the driver pulls up in a Chevy suburban-older and dented. Not a luxurious experience should just use Uber black for Half the price.

The car was clean and the ride itself was smooth but the driver did not greet us outside his vehicle or help with opening the trunk to load our belongings. We had to go up to the drivers window to inform him that we were the riders and to request that he unlocked his door to let us in. We were the bride and groom. Clearly in my wedding dress. Clearly we were the correct couple. I felt dismissed. I opened my own car door. It was embarrassing. Even an uber driver would’ve said congratulations and opened the trunk and door for us. Pretty disappointed but at least I know to use uber black in the future instead. Way better experience with them.

Disappointed! Driver did not arrive at requested location requiring me to walk in the rain up to the top of the street. Also driver got lost and required me to give directions to get home. Would not recommend, based on this experience.

The advertisement states the driver will meet state carousel with a sign and take the suitcases. Well that never happened. We had to do all that ourselves. He.claimed he could not park the car. Well for such an expensive service it was a big disappointment my wife and I cannot lift heavy bags and that’s why we chose this “fantastic service. The correct thing to do is to refund us for a service we did not get. I will be putting in a complaint to the credit card company to have the payment reversed

For what we paid I was overwhelmed. The back of the car when the driver put our luggage back there was already filled with other stuff. The ride was booked for 3 people and there was only one bottle of water. The driver also talked on the phone for pretty much the entire drive. For what is supposed to be a luxury alternative to ride-shares felt pretty spare in reality.

Becoming hugely overpriced and despite being a regular user for over 10 years, I have never had my loyalty rewarded. This is despite discount codes being offered to new customers.

Service good and the car and driver were great however the price was ridiculous compared to using Uber or taxis in Qatar. The driver probably only received a fraction of the fare.

Used your service for pick up from the Singapore International Cruise terminal to the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. The pickup was a nightmare. First, the text message to 'communicate with our driver' showed that the driver was Offline. Took forever to connect with the driver. Then it was a continuing text back and forth to let the driver know where we were waiting for the pick and her asking for picture after picture of where we were. Then she asked if I had WhatsApp. She sent me a request asking me to send a location. Then she said I booked the 'wrong address'. Said I picked an office address and that's what took so long. Then she had us walk all our luggage out and around to the pick up location and then asked for another picture of where we were standing. When she finally arrived, I told her that the booking said to be picked up at the International Cruises terminal-the only option I was provided with in the drop down menu on the website. I would seriously think twice about ever booking through Blacklane again, which is disappointing because there were so many other great reviews and the service is available internationally.

The ride itself is perfect as usual. The payment system is a disaster. The cost of my ride (253 euros) was blocked on my card 3 times !!!!. It is not a small amount, you know, just to have blocked due to someone"s system failure. Then after the ride I got an email saying that you couldn't process the payment and asking my to pay via the link attached. I delayed it until the next day and at the end I never touched this link. Because the first thing I see next day Is the ride cost successfully written off my account! No apologies offered and no letter saying that the link was a mistake of yours! Please note that this is a second problem of this kind I encounter with you out of the last two rides. Everything worked fine before. I start thinking about changing provider if that becomes norm with you. Best regards,

We encountered some difficulties in Zurich when we were using two cars. The first car took us to a lunch restaurant and informed us that parking directly in front of the restaurant was not allowed. We were not given any information about the location of the second car, and the driver was instructed not to notify us even though they had arrived well in advance – apparently, they were told to only contact the customer if they were X minutes late. As a result, we were delayed for our meetings. It seems drivers are not allowed to contact customers to avoid unnecessary spam, yet Blacklane sends an excessive amount of spam. It would be helpful if we could receive the driver’s contact details well in advance.

Dear Alina, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback regarding your experience in Zurich.

Your comments highlight valuable points about communication and timing, and we’ll be sure to share them with our team to help improve clarity and consistency around guest updates.

I tried communicating to the driver via the app with no response. We had to wait outside for the car, no one was inside holding the sign. Why ask what we want on the sign if no one is going to be holding it, or helping the ladies with their bags to the car. Vehicle had check engine light on, had no water bottles for us etc. Should have just used Uber and paid half the money, the experience would have been better and half the price. This was my first experience with Blacklane and will probably be my last.

Sold as an executive level service, actual experience was anything but.. I experienced the same level of service as a large Uber. Thought I would try, but I’m going back to my old service.

The driver came late and there was no communication. The hotel had to call twice. The first driver canceled the pickup. The second driver had to take the blame. He was a very good driver and nice. We got to the airport almost too late.

Had a bad experience at JFK when I booked a ride for 2327 on 11/7 and the reservation system put it at 0027 on 11/8 because of the change from daylight savings to standard time. The driver and I were unable to message each other because the system said no reservation number was available, since the system had put it on the wrong day.

Massively long wait times to get a car. As a result I booked Uber Luxury for 12 rides which only had wait times of a couple of minutes. Also, for bookings I. Advance, the by email advertised rate was not honoured.
