Old World Luxury meets Modern Day Technology Written by: Pablo Teijeiro In the world of luxury; having your own chauffeur is more like a status symbol than a regular occurance for those who can afford it. Blacklane - the German based transport company has taken it one step further where they have nicely intergrated a mobile application with the luxury of their service to corporate customers and high-flyers. ! Servicing over 180 countries around the world in 5 continents; the widespread affects in being driven in luxury cars as the S-Class Mercedez Benz, or the BMW 7-Series or the longwheeled based Jaguar XJ will always surpass the popular 'Uber' in terms of convenience, service, safety and off course luxury. ! Blacklane however considers themselves competitative in comparison to their piers in every which way. And I highly believe that to be true because each driver is also the owner of the vehicle. Hence, it is in the best interest of not only the company or the driver/owner themselves but more importantly the customers satisfaction to pricing, serviceability and overall experience.
