Now i am on a diferent subject about getting to and from.

Berlin arrival. In my preference i don't want to catch a taxi this time. Not after i was tricked on the last travel to the hotel without having the meter turn on. And the driver was more of a turkish romanian looking background. Bad experinece

In this case i want to have a private driver to take us to the hotel from berlin city. A private driver with a luxury car that is good. But wait. Depends how much. And im not after a fancy limo stretch car. But more a premium looking leather car or some sort that is clean and comfortable. It's why i ask for a private driver. It's one of them people who holds a sign around the corner of the berlin airport after you pickup your luggages.

It be nice to have that and it may be just another 10.00 extra dollar more then a normal taxi cost perhaps.

With a private driver you are treated like your VIP they will open the door for you (i hope) he will carry most luggages off you and no need to do all that. But heres the catch' Ive tried to look into blacklane company. They have nice black cars and most of them only carrys 2 luggages. We will be brining 4 luggages and 2 carry on back. (each per person carrys 2x luggages one is bigger and the other a medium sizes + a carry on bag) Subtotal: 2 large luggages 2 medium sizes luggage and 2 carry on bags all subtotal. So if i was to choose a private car then how do i know a private car can fit all this? If its not correctly done in the booking how would one should know ? There for when i looked up Blacklane berlin it shows the car model and how many bags. Unfortunally it seems that a VAN can take all that for just 2 people. Not sure if that kind of van in the blacklane company are any luxury interior vs a car perhaps ?

Anyhow is there any recommendation in berlin that are good for a private driver with a nice luxury premium type car but a good price from airport to the hotel for 2 adults ?

Again not every car can carry all that amount of luggages. if i was to go aead and choose that car (instead of that van) then what may of happen how do they going to know how many luggages and stuff we carrying during the booking online to begin with ?

And is it safe? Blacklane seems that i must add in credit card details and it will be automatically charge ones your in the car or van of that driver. But how do i know 100% they wont over charge me the unexpected cost because on the website indicates you dont need to carry change or money to pay the driver as it be coming off your credit card online when you added that in the first place. And you dont present your credit card in person at all. I never been to any of this private drivers so just bit of a risk what if they charge me 100s without unexpected... if it cost around 80 euros. How do i know i cant trust the company taking my money off my card without me knowing a thing since i dont need to present card or money at the driver it all be done automatically i presume from what i read about BLACKLANE

But is there other good companies ? not much of a review at this at all.. Reviews are essentials by people who tried them.

So i like a private company driver to take us to the hotel. But in risk of what may happen to my credit card if i could trust them as it says you dont pay anything when you greet the driver and it just comes off the card online automatically by the company.

Also comes to the conclution of what if im delayed and the plane didnt get to ebrlin on time am i still charge and not even on that car yet ? Those things i wish i knew.

Anyhow what does the van interior looks like any good business looking style interior ?

I use Blacklane in Berlin regularly and they're great. I've never been ripped off or overcharged by them, and have always had great service. Whilst Blacklane works internationally, it's based in Germany so works well there.

Thank you for that info will have a look shortly at it. And see how it goes.

Thank you for that info.
yes i notice brisbane also has blacklane so im started to wonder if the company was international and not just a berlin base company for private driver. In regards to since i wanted a car instead of a van... and because of the amount of luggages. I guess they wont aloud us on a car i presume it is more of a van because on the page indicates van can carry upto 5 luggages too if needed.

Ao if im going to pay that much you know why one wants to. Luxury feel alike to get to the hotel. Without the rudeness of a normal taxi driver or having the unexpected payto the taxi. Like my last experience that happen. And if im going to pay that much for a private luxury driver i would expect the best out of it for a peaceful drive to and from the airport obviously. But not sure what it is like with that van on the blacklane. Does give much information what it supplies or feels like other then just choose the car but thats about it.

but is it worth getting black lane for a van ? How and what does it look like inside ? is it any better then those luxury black cars instead ?

Theres another company similar to blacklane but can't remember of it atm.

But only curious is it worth getting a van. I know if im going to pay that much to get to the hotel i prefer a much quality feel alike vip to it inside the van. And not just any ordinary van and nothing else. I presume they are like business style interior.. not sure if that includes a desk or tv or drinks. Never been to any of this so i don't no what it be like but if im going to pay that much i would at least have some premium luxury out of it as well right ?/

Just
curious to saying you have tried them. Do you have to give online your credit card details and there for it automatically gets charge when your in the car or how does that works? Does the driver makes a call or does something so that the card gets charge ? And what happen if im slightly delayed and already got charge and not even got in the car yet ? Shouldnt that be fraud ? Only to know if one can trust that company. Ive never tried them so i dont no what it be like or how it works.
The luxury van they offer would had to be the type for the luggages even tho i prefer much more a luxury car. What does the van interior on blacklane looks like? is it something like first class with a screen tv and things just like a limo would present interior or nothing like that ?

Not sure if i got it right but even if i dont turn up or the plane gets hold up and not there on time the credit card gets charge regardless and the drive goes away. If that was to be the case no one should go with a private driver. But i don't no.

When i went to berlin i remember getting my luggage area and walk thru this doors and right there was about 5 or 7 different males holding a sign company name and or someones name. Obviously private drivers for the required passengers someone booked for. And thats how i decided that i too want a private driver instead of a normal taxi. I mean taxi may be good but last experiences wasn't too good. Only by that mistake but i like to try a little bit of a indulgent otherwise but nothng extremely expensive and im not asking for a limo. But rather more a comfortable luxury clean good quality van/car to get me to the hotel for that sort of price.
 
Have you checked with your Hotel ? Some of the larger Hotels offer an airport transfer service with their own luxury car which is charged to your room.

No i dont think so. And i realise that. Dont think the hotel has that as berlin is a place with good cars around and companies im sure. Looks like blacklane is good. Oh tho waiting for some questions to the user who tried blacklane before.
