Blacklane’s premier selection of luxury travel
experiences are now available for SIXT ride customers in the U.S.
and Canada via the SIXT app and SIXT.com
SIXT, a leading global mobility provider, and Blacklane, leading
global chauffeur company, today announce that Blacklane chauffeur
services are now bookable through SIXT ride in North America via
the SIXT app and SIXT.com. SIXT ride is the ride-hailing and
premium chauffeur services offering of SIXT. This enables more
convenience and flexibility for SIXT ride customers looking to book
premium travel in the United States and Canada, as SIXT ride users
now have access to Blacklane’s wide range of services that cater to
business and leisure travelers in addition to the already existing
SIXT ride-hailing offering.
By integrating Blacklane as a trusted partner in the
ride-hailing and chauffeur services offered through SIXT ride,
customers will benefit from a broader selection of high-quality
options such as Airport Transfers, In-City Rides,
Chauffeur-by-the-Hour bookings and City-to-City connections between
metropolitan areas while enjoying the seamless SIXT ride booking
experience. In addition, customers will have even more choices to
pick from several vehicle types that fit every occasion including
First Class (the latest top range models, e.g., Mercedes-Benz
S-Class, BMW 7-Series), Business Class (vehicle classes such as
Chevrolet Suburban, Cadillac Escalade), Electric Class, and
Business Van/SUV. All bookings can be made via SIXT app or
SIXT.com/ride, selecting the Ride option and their destination.
This allows customers to efficiently manage all their mobility
needs in one place.
Tom Kennedy, President, SIXT North America: “SIXT is
committed to providing our customers with premium mobility
solutions across car rental, subscription, ride-hailing and
chauffeur services. We are excited to welcome Blacklane as a valued
partner and grow together as SIXT expands its footprint across
North America, the most important growth market for both
companies.”
Kyle Fackler, Head of Market Management Americas at
Blacklane: “It’s great to see our offering integrated into
SIXT’s services. Their extensive experience in the area of premium
ride services, combined with Blacklane’s luxury offering and
presence in North America, create a powerful combination that will
bring elevated experiences to our guests in the United States as
well as Canada and drive both companies' market growth.”
This news follows SIXT and Blacklane’s partnership announcement
in September of 2023, which announced the joint effort in expanding
their footprint in international markets with an initial special
focus on North America. The cooperation will also benefit from
SIXT’s continued expansion across North America as well as the
recent launches of Blacklane’s on demand service and City-to-Beach
connections. The cooperation will further both companies’ mission
of enhancing mobility and curating better experiences for travelers
across North America.
