Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring more luggage than I could on a flight?

Absolutely! Our vehicles have ample storage space, so you’re not limited by airline baggage restrictions. Feel free to bring along everything you need for your trip, as long as it fits in the trunk.

How far in advance should I book my short haul flight alternative?

We recommend booking as early as possible to secure your preferred vehicle and schedule, especially during peak travel times.

What amenities are available in the vehicles?

Our vehicles come equipped with climate control, Wi-Fi, comfortable seating, and plenty of legroom. Depending on the vehicle class, additional amenities may be available.

Can I make stops along the way?

Our short haul flight alternative rides allow for comfort breaks along the route, but they do not include extra stops which deviate from the direct route. 

Should you wish to make extra stops, you can book these trips separately or make a by-the-hour booking, where instead of having a fixed destination, your chauffeur is reserved for a period of time during which you can make as many stops as you like. Please note, our by-the-hour service includes 20 km of travel per booked hour and additional distance is charged extra.

How does a private driver compare to flying in terms of cost?

A short haul flight alternative can be more cost-effective, especially for colleagues, groups, or families traveling together, as Blacklane charges by the vehicle rather than per person. This makes it a great alternative to flying.
