"'Premium travel is one of the most exciting growth areas of Uber's business. We want to offer the widest selection of options to meet our riders where they are: from the everyday commute to luxury rides.'"
"'Blacklane's growth to date has been founded on consistently excellent service, wherever in the world our guests move. Fifteen years after our vision to make premium travel frictionless, we are bringing luxury hospitality expertise to Uber as a leading player in mobility.'"
Uber has acquired Blacklane, a chauffeur services booking platform, to enhance its offerings in the executive travel segment. Blacklane operates in over 500 cities across more than 60 countries and is favored by corporate travelers. The acquisition aims to accelerate Uber's entry into the chauffeur sector with Uber Elite, driven by increasing demand for high-quality transport services. The deal is expected to close by the end of 2026, pending regulatory approvals. Uber's CEO emphasized the importance of premium travel as a growth area for the company.
