How To Travel With A Private Driver
It’s no secret that getting around a new city or country can be daunting, especially when you add kids to the picture. Many ride-share companies don't provide car seats, and you never know who will drive you and your kids around a foreign city. They can also be unpredictable. Renting a car is a whole other animal. Sometimes all you need is to get to and from a place, so renting a whole car with the surcharges for gas and car seats often isn’t worth it. (Not to mention you are now responsible for returning it and still needing a ride once you do.) When I discovered Blacklane and used them for the first time, I never looked back. Blacklane is a private chauffeur service you can schedule in advance on your phone.
Every time we need to go to the airport or land in a new country and need a lift to our hotel, we use Blacklane. The drivers meet you at baggage claim with a sign, carry your bags, and load your bags into the car for you. They can even bring booster seats or car seats upon request. They also always have water and charging cables. Some even have snacks or candy. The best part, though, is that you can book it right on their app, just like any other ride-share, except it’s only professional drivers and it feels very safe.
It’s our go-to whenever we travel and we’re never disappointed. The drivers always arrive on time (often even earlier), and we get to travel stress-free with the girls. The prices are a bit higher than a ride-share, but for me it’s worth the peace of mind and professionalism, especially when traveling with small children. They also have really large SUVs if you’re traveling with a lot of luggage. We traveled with 4 people, 4 suitcases, 1 stroller, and 2 large backpacks, and everything fit. You can also hire drivers for the day, so if you want to explore a city, they can drop you off and pick you up wherever you go. Blacklane is available in many countries and cities; we've never traveled somewhere where their service wasn’t available. Not to mention, you do feel like a boss when they wave your name at baggage claim and swoop you away from the commoners.
