Blacklane, a leading chauffeur service renowned for its high standards, has announced the addition of Rolls-Royce vehicles to its premium fleet, marking a new "Platinum Class" tier. This groundbreaking service will debut in Dubai, aligning with the company's strategic expansion in the Middle East. Jens Wohltorf, co-founder and CEO of Blacklane, expressed enthusiasm for the future, hinting at a rapid global rollout of this luxurious offering, promising an elevated travel experience for discerning clients worldwide.
Each Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II joining Blacklane's exclusive lineup boasts a distinctive two-tone black and white exterior, complemented by the expertise of a specially trained professional chauffeur. These vehicles are celebrated for their unmatched opulence, offering passengers a serene escape from the outside world. With interiors featuring exquisite finely grained leather, rich wood, and elegant metal accents, alongside spacious backseats and even massaging functions, the Rolls-Royce provides a sanctuary of comfort and sophistication.
In Dubai, clients can readily book the new Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II for various services, including seamless airport transfers. Additionally, the vehicles will be available for "immediate hailing" from select, prominent locations across the city. This flexibility ensures that luxury transport is not just reserved for pre-arranged journeys but also accessible spontaneously, catering to the dynamic needs of elite travelers.
Beyond the newly introduced Rolls-Royce service, Blacklane maintains a diverse and luxurious fleet across its global operations. In the United States, its "First Class" category includes prestigious models such as the Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 Series, and Audi A8. For environmentally conscious travelers, the "Electric Class" features Tesla Model S, Tesla Model X, and Jaguar I-PACE vehicles. The "Business Class" offers comfortable rides in Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, and Cadillac XTS. This comprehensive range underscores Blacklane's commitment to providing tailored luxury transportation options.
Blacklane emphasizes rigorous training for all its chauffeurs, ensuring they excel in customer service and safety protocols. This commitment extends to strategic partnerships with major travel providers, enabling the company to offer specialized concierge and driver services to a broad international clientele. Notably, since 2018, Blacklane has served as the official chauffeur service for Emirates' first and business class passengers, offering complimentary car services from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) for travel within a 50-mile radius, thereby enhancing the premium travel experience by bypassing common airport inconveniences.
Founded in Germany in 2011, Blacklane has rapidly expanded its footprint, now operating in numerous cities globally.
