Blacklane has joined Visa’s Global Travel Program in Dubai, extending access to premium chauffeur services for international Visa cardholders visiting the UAE.
Under the partnership, eligible Visa cardholders will be able to access exclusive rewards and preferred rates when booking Blacklane’s chauffeur-driven services in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The offering is designed to support seamless airport transfers, business travel and comfortable city journeys across one of the world’s busiest international travel markets.
Dubai was selected as a flagship destination within Visa’s Global Travel Program, reflecting its status as a major global hub for international and repeat travellers. As part of the wider initiative, Blacklane’s services will enhance mobility for high-spending and frequent visitors moving between airports, hotels, business districts and leisure destinations across the UAE.
Nicolas Soucaille, general manager for the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific at Blacklane, said demand for premium ground transport in the region continued to grow. “Dubai and Abu Dhabi are key global hubs for business and leisure travel, and expectations around reliable, luxury mobility are exceptionally high,” he said.
“Joining Visa’s Global Travel Program allows us to extend Blacklane benefits to high-frequency travellers through a trusted ecosystem, while supporting smooth, stylish journeys across the UAE — from airport arrivals to everyday business and lifestyle travel.”
Blacklane established its Dubai office in 2018 and has steadily expanded its regional footprint in line with the UAE’s position as one of the world’s most active travel destinations. This has included the launch of its Platinum Class service, aimed at meeting demand for ultra-luxury chauffeur travel in the local market.
With sustained international arrivals, year-round business travel and a well-developed luxury services sector, the UAE has become a cornerstone market for Blacklane’s Middle East operations. The company now operates in more than 60 countries worldwide and continues to prioritise expansion across major international travel hubs, particularly in the Middle East.
