Who Should Pick You Up at U.S. Airports?
Local Regulations Limit Ride-Hailing and Legacy Limo Companies Add Costs, Finds Blacklane U.S. Airport Pickup Digest
/EINPresswire.com/ -- BERLIN, GERMANY--(Marketwired - December 01, 2015) - Laws at U.S. airports limit travelers' ground transportation choices and create an inconsistent travel experience, according to the Blacklane U.S. Airport Pickup Digest. Further, legacy chauffeur services burden customers with fees that inflate costs nearly 80 percent higher than airport taxi prices.
According to Blacklane's research, 49 of America's 100 busiest airports prohibit private ride-hailing pickups.
"U.S. travelers endure confusing and expensive airport pickups due to local laws and outdated business practices," said Jens Wohltorf, CEO and co-founder of global professional driver service Blacklane. "American airports act as regulatory islands. This setup forces travelers to fend for themselves to find a legal, high-quality and affordable ride."
The Blacklane U.S. Airport Pickup Digest:
- Maps ride-hailing pickup availability at the busiest 100 American airports.
- Shows the average costs of taxi, ride-hailing and chauffeured airport rides.
- Identifies the array of fees traditional limousine services charge.
- Compares Blacklane and legacy limousine airport rates in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York.
By the Numbers
- 1: airport in New England (Portland Jetport) permitting private ride-hailing pickups.
- 6: Florida airports prohibiting private ride-hailing pickups -- the most of any state.
- 7: California airports allowing private ride-hailing pickups -- the most of any state.
- 71 and 103: U.S. cities and U.S. airports Blacklane serves.
- 78.6: percent more expensive airport chauffeur service is than airport taxi rides.
- 105: percent higher cost of legacy limos than Blacklane between Boston (BOS), Chicago (ORD), Los Angeles (LAX) and New York (JFK) airports and city centers.
"Travelers desire a relaxing and reliable trip door to door. But local regulations and industry fees make that tough," said Wohltorf. "Blacklane solves passengers' pain by bringing a new era of travel. You can have familiar, comfortable and affordable airport rides across the U.S. and the world from one trusted company."
