Our booking flow should be a seamless and convenient experience, but occasionally you may encounter an issue where the provided address "cannot be found". A few of the common causes this issue are:
The address is incorrect, incomplete or includes a typo
Geographical limitations
Technical issues or system errors
Find below more details and troubleshooting tips to help you resolve the issue.
The address is incorrect or incomplete
One of the primary reasons an address cannot be found is due to errors in entering the address details.
Double-check the address you've entered for any typos, misspellings, or missing information such as street numbers or ZIP codes.
Ensure that the address is complete and accurate, including any necessary abbreviations (e.g., St. for Street, Ave. for Avenue). Even minor mistakes can lead to difficulties in locating the destination.
Troubleshooting Tip: Verify how the address is presented in Google Maps. Blacklane's booking system is powered by this mapping tool. Copy and paste the address from Google Maps into the Blacklane booking platform.
Geographical limitations
Blacklane operates in over 40 countries around the world however we might not be active in the area you wish to book. If the address you're trying to book falls outside our service coverage area, the system will not recognize it, and you won't be able to proceed with the booking.
Troubleshooting Tip: Check our available cities on this page.
Technical issues or system errors
Occasionally, technical issues can arise on our platforms or mapping system, resulting in temporary disruptions that prevent address recognition. These glitches may be caused by software updates, server maintenance, or other unforeseen factors.
Troubleshooting Tip: Make sure you are using Google Chrome as our website runs smoother with the browser. Try refreshing the booking page or clearing your browser cache and cookies. If the problem persists, wait for some time and attempt the booking again.
It's also worth noting that our address recognition system uses Google Maps -- if your address is not available on Google Maps, it likely won't be recognized by our system either. As a work-around, we recommend selecting the nearest available address instead (like a local landmark), and clarifying the correct address in the "Special Requests" or "Note for the chauffeur" section when booking.
