BlackCars — European Luxury Chauffeur Service
Not a platform. Not an algorithm. Not the luxury division of a ride-hailing app.
BlackCars is a European chauffeur service built for clients who require the same standard from their ground transport as from everything else in their professional and private lives — precision, discretion, and a driver who knows what is expected before being asked.
We serve executives at the World Economic Forum in Davos, families with residences on the French Riviera, delegations at financial summits in Frankfurt and London, and private clients whose names we do not discuss.
Three services. One standard. Europe-wide.
The market has changed. Blacklane — previously the leading European luxury chauffeur platform — is now part of Uber. For clients who chose Blacklane precisely to avoid the associations of ride-hailing, the acquisition changes everything. BlackCars exists for clients for whom that distinction is not negotiable.
Three Services, Precisely Defined
01 Private Transfer
Fixed rate, door-to-door, anywhere in Europe.
A confirmed price before departure. A confirmed driver before departure. A confirmed vehicle — not “a similar model” — before departure. The driver arrives at your address, not at the hotel entrance. He waits if your flight is delayed. He loads your luggage. He does not ask where you are going — it was confirmed when you booked.
Private transfers from Monaco, Nice, Paris, London, Geneva, Zurich, Frankfurt, Vienna, Milan, Rome, Barcelona, and 50+ European destinations. Airport connections, inter-city transfers, cross-border journeys.
02 Disposal Driver (As-Directed Service)
Your driver. Your schedule. Your day.
A disposal driver is not a taxi you keep waiting. It is a professional placed at your exclusive disposal for a defined period — half-day (4 hours), full-day (8–10 hours), or multi-day — who follows your schedule as it evolves, waits at every appointment, and is ready to move the moment you are.
This is the service for:
- The executive with six meetings across Davos over two days
- The family in Monaco for three weeks who needs a driver available from 08h00 to midnight
- The delegation at the Cannes Film Festival with multiple venues and moving schedules
- The UHNW client at the Monaco Yacht Show who moves between port, hotels, and private dinners
Blacklane does not offer this service. No algorithm does. It requires a professional who understands how to manage the unexpected — a meeting that overruns, a dinner invitation that appears at 18h30, a departure time that moves by three hours.
Half-day from €380 · Full-day from €680 · Multi-day on request
03 Limousine & Events
When arrival is part of the occasion.
A wedding at the Palais Coburg in Vienna. A gala at the Château de la Messardière in Saint-Tropez. A corporate reception at the Hôtel de Paris in Monaco. An awards ceremony at the Grand Palais in Paris. These are moments when the vehicle that delivers you is part of the statement you make.
BlackCars provides:
- Wedding transfers — ceremony vehicle, bridal car, guest fleet coordination
- Corporate events — executive fleet management, VIP arrivals, airport-to-venue sequences
- Galas and private occasions — red carpet protocol, discreet arrival management
- Festival and summit transfers — Cannes Film Festival, Monaco Grand Prix, Davos WEF, Art Basel, Frieze London
All vehicles presented at the highest standard. All drivers briefed on event protocol. Fleet coordination for groups of 2 to 50 vehicles on request.
The BlackCars Standard
The Driver
A BlackCars driver is not assigned by proximity or availability algorithm. He is selected for your journey based on language capability, route knowledge, and the specific requirements of your booking. You receive his name, photograph, and direct contact number 24 hours before departure.
He will be early. He will be dressed appropriately. He will not speak unless addressed. He will not take phone calls during the journey unless it is yours. He will not offer opinions on traffic. He will not have his phone on the dashboard. He will have cold water in the vehicle if that is what you expect.
These are not policies we have written for a website. They are the baseline from which every BlackCars journey begins.
The Vehicle
Mercedes S-Class — the flagship sedan. Up to 3 passengers, 3 bags. The vehicle that requires no introduction at any hotel entrance in Europe.
Mercedes V-Class — the executive van. Up to 6 passengers, full luggage. The vehicle of choice for families, groups, and clients traveling with material that does not fit in a sedan.
Mercedes E-Class — the professional sedan. Up to 3 passengers, 3 bags. The vehicle for clients who require the BlackCars standard without the additional cost of the S-Class for shorter journeys.
All vehicles less than 36 months old. All vehicles maintained to manufacturer specification. All vehicles presented clean, fueled, and ready — not warming up when you arrive.
Where We Operate
Financial & Business Centers
London · Paris · Frankfurt · Zurich · Geneva · Luxembourg · Amsterdam · Brussels · Vienna · Milan · Madrid
The cities where time is measured in meetings, not kilometers. Where a driver who does not know which entrance of Canary Wharf, which terminal at Frankfurt Airport, or which side entrance of the Palais des Congrès in Paris costs you something real.
Luxury Leisure Destinations
Monaco · Côte d’Azur · Saint-Tropez · Courchevel · Megève · Verbier · Gstaad · Portofino · Forte dei Marmi · Amalfi Coast · Lake Como · Ibiza · Marbella
The destinations where guests arrive with expectations formed at the Ritz and the Aman. Where the standard of the vehicle and the knowledge of the driver are assumed, not negotiated.
Congress & Summit Destinations
Davos (World Economic Forum) · Cannes (Film Festival, MIPIM, ILTM) · Monaco (Yacht Show, Grand Prix) · Basel (Art Basel) · Vienna (OPEC, OSCE, UN) · Geneva (WTO, WHO, UN, CERN) · Brussels (EU, NATO) · Strasbourg (European Parliament)
Summits and congresses create the most demanding ground transport requirements in Europe — compressed schedules, multiple VIP arrivals, protocol-sensitive environments. BlackCars has operated in every congress destination listed above.
The Blacklane Situation — Plainly Stated
Blacklane was acquired by Uber. We do not have an opinion on whether this is a good business decision for Uber. We have a clear position on what it means for clients.
The luxury ground transport market in Europe is not served by ride-hailing platforms, regardless of the name applied to their premium tier. A client who flies private to Geneva does not want the same parent company managing his airport transfer that manages surge-priced rides home from nightclubs in Berlin.
This is not a marketing position. It is an observation about how luxury works. The brand matters. The association matters. The driver matters.
BlackCars is not Blacklane. BlackCars is not Uber. BlackCars is the alternative.

What makes BlackCars different from Blacklane?
Blacklane is now part of Uber. For clients for whom that association is not acceptable, BlackCars is the independent European alternative — with drivers selected for specific journeys, not assigned by algorithm, and a standard that does not change based on demand or availability.
What is a disposal driver?
A disposal driver is placed at your exclusive disposal for a defined period — half-day (4 hours), full-day (8–10 hours), or multiple days. He follows your schedule as it evolves, waits at every appointment, and is available to move at any moment. This is not a service offered by ride-hailing platforms. It requires a professional relationship, not a booking algorithm.
What cities does BlackCars cover?
All major European financial centers, luxury leisure destinations, and congress cities: London, Paris, Geneva, Zurich, Frankfurt, Vienna, Milan, Monaco, Côte d’Azur, Davos, Basel, Brussels, Amsterdam, and 50+ additional European destinations.
What vehicles does BlackCars use?
Mercedes S-Class (flagship sedan, 1–3 passengers), Mercedes V-Class (executive van, 1–6 passengers), Mercedes E-Class (professional sedan, 1–3 passengers). All vehicles under 36 months old, maintained to manufacturer specification.
Can BlackCars manage fleet transfers for corporate events?
Yes. Fleet coordination for groups of 2 to 50 vehicles. VIP arrival sequencing, airport-to-venue transfers, multi-day executive programs, conference shuttles. Contact us with your event brief for a full proposal.
Is BlackCars available for weddings?
Yes. Bridal vehicle, ceremony car, guest fleet coordination across Europe — Monaco, Côte d’Azur, Paris, Vienna, Lake Como, Tuscany, and all major European destinations.
