Uber to expand premium offerings with Germany's Blacklane acquisition

Uber Technologies has agreed to acquire Berlin-based chauffeur service Blacklane as part of its push into premium and ‌executive ⁠travel, the companies ⁠said on Monday.

The ​deal, subject to regulatory approvals, ​will expand Uber's presence in the fast-growing market for ​pre-booked, high-end transport ⁠services.

Uber declined ‌to provide financial details regarding the deal, ⁠except that it is expected to close by the end of 2026. Blacklane was valued at $547.32 million after a funding round in October ‌2024, according to PitchBook data.


The ride-hailing platform said the ⁠acquisition would complement its Uber Elite offering and help deliver premium travel options to a broader global customer base.
