Which ride type is right for me?

Updated over a week ago

You can choose from several ride types, depending on your specific needs. Each is best suited for a different kind of journey.


One way

One way is our standard A-to-B transfer. This is the best option for a simple one-off journey. The most common rides are airport transfers, but you can also book short rides within a city or go on a long-distance ride between 2 cities.

  • Simple and straightforward

  • Request an extra stop in the "special requests" if needed


By the hour

Our by-the-hour service is designed for journeys with multiple stops within the same city, perfect for a day of engagements with your chauffeur on standby. This service can be used for business days packed with meetings in different locations, while our leisure guests use the by-the-hour service for sightseeing, events and weddings.

By-the-hour rides can be booked from 2h to 24h and come with a distance allowance of 20km per booked hour. Please note, if your by-the-hour ride ends outside the starting city, an additional distance charge applies for the chauffeur’s return journey.

If you plan to travel between cities, we recommend booking a city-to-city ride instead.

  • Offers the most flexibility

  • Provide an itinerary up-front, or decide as you go

  • Limited distance allowance (20 km per hour booked)

You can book the by-the-hour service on our website or app from 2 to 24 hours. If you require a chauffeur for several days, please contact Customer Care via chat or email at service@blacklane.com.
