U.S. Airport Ground Transportation: Who Should Pick You Up?


How can you get a quality and affordable ride from the airport? In the U.S. the answer greatly depends on local regulations and fees.

CEO and Co-founder Jens Wohltorf calls American airports “regulatory islands.” These are mapped in the Blacklane U.S. Airport Pickup Digest, a new infographic published today. Blacklane’s research shows travelers the state of airport pickups for ride-hailing, legacy limousine providers, and Blacklane.
