Discrimination and Unfair. Lot of favoritism

I’m a veteran and also professional chauffeur. I absolutely love working for Blacklane . It’s been few years. Never had a job less than 5 stars. End of last year I was out of country for few months and couldn’t work. I came back and started working again . But past six months I haven’t been able to get the contract back. And also most importantly I’m not even getting proper help . I’m qualified to get the contract still due to favoritism . I’m missing out. They don’t reply to my emails . I’m just asking for fair help still I don’t get. I hope it all get resolved. As I absolutely love working for Blacklane .

Disappointing Experience

This app works very poorly. Notifications arrive with a huge delay, and sometimes the notification sound doesn't even play until long after a job is posted or someone has already taken it. You basically have to keep staring at your phone screen to catch anything.
Since this app was bought by Uber, it has gotten much worse. The same kind of hacking that affected the Uber driver app is now happening here, with some people using third-party apps and auto-accept tools to grab jobs instantly. As a result, honest drivers like me basically have no chance of getting jobs, because these fake apps are much faster than any human. And since more filters and changes were added, the problem has gotten even worse. It seems the company needs to take this issue more seriously and make sure that all drivers have a fair chance.

Accept jobs

I believe that when Blacklane presents job offers to chauffeurs, it should only show the origin/pickup city and the destination/dropoff city along with the offered price. The way it's currently showing the complete address details is confusing and makes it harder to accept the job, forcing drivers to open the job posting to better see the cities and then accept it.

Not recommended. No offers show up.

The offers never show up. And when they do it’s too late.. The customer support lacks training. The app is always glitching.

Response from developer

Dear Valued Partner, Thanks for taking the time to put this feedback together. Offers arriving late or not at all, alongside app glitches and concerns about support and policies, is a lot to deal with at once, and we can see why it has shaped your view of working with us. We'd like the chance to look into this properly, so please reach out to our Partner Support team at partner@blacklane.com and they'll go through each point with you. Any app-specific issues can also be sent to chauffeur-app-feedback@blacklane.com so our product team can review them directly. We hope we can turn this around and make the day-to-day feel a lot smoother for you. Kind regards, Veronica

Unfair work ethics

App has many flaws they even allow fleets to use BOTS and make it an unfair advantage for those playing by the rules.

Response from developer

Dear Valued Partner, Thanks for flagging this, and apologies for the delay in coming back to you. Concerns about app flaws and fairness between fleets are important for us to hear. If you could share the details with the team at chauffeur-app-feedback@blacklane.com, they can look into it properly and factor your notes into upcoming improvements. We truly appreciate partners who play by the rules and want the experience to reflect that. Best wishes, Veronica

Don’t ever use this company

Booked service in NYC and driver never showed up. Blacklane charged me $1200.00 for service plus waiting time $150.00. Company don’t know what they doing from Berlin Germany

Bad

Offer notifications only

Response from developer

Dear Gino, Thank you for taking a moment to share your feedback with us. We understand that receiving only offer notifications, without confirmed rides, can be frustrating and discouraging. We'd genuinely like to look into this further and help where we can, so please reach out to our team at partnersupport@blacklane.com so they can review your situation directly. Your partnership matters to us, and we hope to turn this experience around for you soon. Kind regards, Veronica

App sucks

Every update is making the app weird and hard to use.

Offers

There seems to be a delay in offers coming through, sometimes there’s nothing showing when you open the app. Also if you’re not staring at your phone with your finger in the swipe position it’s hard to accept an offer it will be gone already. I think the offers should be sent to you like uber.

Response from developer

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for taking a moment to share these observations with us, and please accept our apologies for the delay in getting back to you. The points you raise about offers being slow to appear and disappearing before they can be accepted are valuable, and your suggestion on how they could be delivered is noted as well. Since this relates directly to your experience with the chauffeur app, we’d be grateful if you could send the details to chauffeur-app-feedback@blacklane.com so our product team can take a closer look. Feedback like yours genuinely helps shape the improvements we work on. We truly appreciate you partnering with us and taking the time to help us do better. With thanks, Veronica

Limited ride Availability and Poor Support

As a chauffeur with Blacklane, my experience has been very disappointing. We pay very high costs for commercial insurance and expensive vehicles, but in the last eight months I only completed 4 rides. The company usually pays around $80–$85 per ride, and when a customer requests a trip, the request is sent to all chauffeurs at the same time, so the chances of actually getting a ride are very low.

Another major issue is customer service. Whenever you contact support, they rarely solve the problem. Most of the time they just send copy-and-paste responses and sometimes provide incorrect or misleading information.

Overall, I do not recommend working with this company as a chauffeur.

Response from developer

Dear Naqib, We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to put your concerns into words, and we're sorry it's taken us a few days to come back to you. Reading that your last eight months as a partner have felt this discouraging, both in terms of ride volume and the support you've received, is something we take to heart. Concerns like the ones you've raised around ride availability, earnings, and the quality of the answers you've been getting from support deserve a proper, individual look. Please reach out to our partner team at partnersupport@blacklane.com so they can go through your account and the specific support interactions with you directly. We truly hope we can turn this experience around and rebuild your confidence in working with us. With thanks, Veronica

Worst company ever

Stay away if you are thinking of joining Blacklane. When you accepted a ride and need to giveback less then 24h you have to pay 40% up to 100%. Watch out instead of making money you are paying for other drivers and they get 100% profit from customer. Even if you get 1000 5 stars in a row and 1 BS customer give you a bad review you get no offers for next 3-4 months. Worst pay ever $180 ride you get like $80 then paying tolls and others you left with nothing. After working like a month you see earning like 5,000 then fines like 4000 you don’t even have enough for gas. No job offer after a BS customer review like for not safe driving or anything. Why the other 1,000 pax didn’t write a bad review or even a 4 stars. Do not drive for them you be working for free.

Screen dimming

Screen keeps dimming! Pls fix so that it stays on all the time

Irfan

It’s a bit annoying. That offers comes first three second later notifications appears up and also there should be option to reduce not notification volume on iPhone.

the new look ugly

so ugly

Poor App Interface

Interface is so white and bright makes it difficult to read Ride offers with small texts.
Ride Class backgrounds colour has been removed and not readable.
Please also add rides requiring Child Seat to be Filtered.

Feature and updates

I previously posted review about adding same features on android and web as iPhone app. But now with new update you can’t see ride miles in the front I have to click the ride and see how many miles it is and by the time I check the ride is gone
