Uber to Acquire Blacklane
Uber and Blacklane today announced an agreement for Uber to acquire Blacklane, as Uber continues its expansion into luxury and executive travel.
Founded in Berlin, Germany, in 2011 to bring quality and consistency to travel, Blacklane connects guests worldwide with independent local chauffeur services via an app and web booking platform. Today Blacklane operates in over 500 cities across more than 60 countries.
The acquisition is expected to close by the end of 2026. After the transaction is complete, the acquisition of Blacklane will further accelerate Uber’s recently-announced move into the chauffeur sector with Uber Elite.
Blacklane and CLEAR just recently announced a new partnership that promises a premium, VIP layer of the home-to-gate airport journey.
The Citi Strata Elite card gives you a $200 Annual Blacklane Credit every calendar year. Bilt also has a credit of up to $150 for Blacklane rides, when redeeming Bilt Cash. It’s not clear how those credit may change once the acquisition is completed.
