The Partner Prestige Club builds upon Blacklane’s quality-based bonus program. Today, professional driver companies earn a monthly bonus based on criteria such as ride volume and excellent passenger ratings.
Going forward, companies that sustain these results for at least three consecutive months will receive a larger monthly quality bonus. For qualifying companies, the quality bonus increases by 10 percent after three months, 30 percent after six months, and doubles after one year. In addition, members of the Partner Prestige Club become preferred partners for Blacklane’s event and V.I.P. business.
Partner Prestige Club Level | Duration of High Quality | Quality Bonus Increase |
Silver | 3 months | 10 percent |
Gold | 6 months | 30 percent |
Black | 12 months | 100 percent |
One of the first companies to do so was Mike Joy’s Ground Transport LTD in London. According to Joy: “We have chosen to work with Blacklane because of its professionalism. We are very happy to see that the Partner Prestige Club explicitly acknowledges our professional understanding and our performance. We take pride in what we do and we aim at only delivering top quality to the customer.”
"We value our global network of professional drivers," said Jens Wohltorf, CEO and co-founder of Blacklane. "Our driver partners are the face of Blacklane to passengers on every trip. We want to reward those who provide the best service each and every time so we can continue to grow together.”

Thanks to sponsor Ford Lincoln Limousine and Livery Vehicles, the convention center is also where you can take a 2017 Continental for a spin during our Ride & Drive event on Monday and Tuesday.
Our in-demand Operator Mentoring Program, sponsored by Grech Motors, will make its return on Sunday. Pre-registration is a must this year, as there will be no onsite registration for this event. If you haven’t already claimed your space at this mutually beneficial round table of peers and industry veterans alike, there’s still time! Head on over to chauffeurdrivenshow.com/mentor-registration-signup.html, but remember that mentor selections are on a first-come, first-served basis.
We are pleased to debut Benchmark Breakouts this year, which will bring the peer-group concept to the masses on Monday. If you’ve ever wanted to hash out your biggest issues or most pressing questions with others who share your revenue bracket, job title, operational focus, or compliance concerns, this is your chance! Space is filling up quickly, so if you want to confer with your industry peers in moderated benchmarking sessions covering a whole range of topics, pre-register now! This is another event that will not accept onsite sign-ups so visit chauffeurdrivenshow.com/show-information/benchmark-breakouts.html to make sure you’re a part of the conversation.
Our show app is now available for download on both iOS and Android operating systems, which is where you’ll find all the maps, schedules, speaker information, and event descriptions you’ll need. Sponsored by North Point Transportation Group, the app not only allows you to instantly connect with other attendees so you can network on the go, but also has a brand-new feature that will make keeping track of all your new contacts a snap. Our first-ever lead retrieval system will let you simply scan the QR code on your fellow show-goers’ badges and organize their contact information right in your phone. For just $100 extra on your registration free, you’ll get the peace of mind of not having to worry about losing or shuffling through business cards—or forgetting your own back in your room—plus the benefit of not missing a beat while getting to know a potential new affiliate or vendor partner.
To make the most of our time in the nation’s capital, we’ll be offering city tours before and after the show this year. With transportation generously provided by Reston Limousine, our complimentary three-hour tours will bring you to some of Washington, D.C.’s, most iconic sites. At noon, 4 p.m., and 8 p.m. on Saturday, October 8, and 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Wednesday, October 12, you’ll have a chance to visit an impressive roster of military and presidential memorials, and learn more about the likes of Ford’s Theatre, Arlington National Cemetery, the Washington Monument, and so much more.
