BERLIN & HONG KONG & SHENZHEN, China -- (BUSINESS WIRE) --

In the wake of its European and American expansion to New York, London and Paris, Blacklane has decided to bring its comfortable, reliable transportation services to the world's east. By launching in Hong Kong and Shenzhen at the same time, the German company is opening itself to another thriving market and millions of potential new customers.

“We go where our customers go,” explains Dr. Jens Wohltorf, co-founder of Blacklane, adding, “We want to be their number one international companion throughout their entire journey.” Given that Hong Kong and Shenzhen are major destinations for travelers from all over the world, expanding to the Asian market was only a matter of time. “Not a week passes without customers encouraging us to reach out to their frequent destinations,” Steuer says.

Blacklane is now available in two neighboring cities of global importance. In Hong Kong, the area of operation includes the whole peninsula, with all surrounding islands and islets accessible by road. By simultaneously launching the service in the city of Shenzhen, Blacklane offers easy access to both cities’ numerous business districts, fairgrounds, hotels and tourist hotspots. “Business travelers make up an important share of our customers, but tourists aren’t far behind,” said Frank Steuer, adding, “This proves our point — comfort, reliability and fair prices work for everybody.”

Having received overwhelmingly positive feedback wherever it launches, the company is firmly establishing itself as one of the leading players in the limousine service industry. “Local providers welcome us wherever we show up, knowing that we’ll add to their revenue instead of diminishing it.”

Blacklane is now available in 13 countries: Austria, Belgium, China (including Hong Kong), Colombia, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, the U.K., and the U.S.
