Global chauffeur service launches in Nairobi

Blacklane, a Berlin-based global chauffeur service, has launched operations in Nairobi, Kenya, marking its first entry into East Africa and a key step in the organisation’s international growth.

The service will offer its Business and Van classes designed to meet the city’s corporate, diplomatic and tourism sector needs with focus on airport transfers and by-the-hour chauffeurs.

“2025 has been a record-breaking year of growth for Blacklane,” said René van Olst, Blacklane CEO EMEA and APAC. “Far more than adding dots to the map, we partner with local professional chauffeurs to connect them to international travellers booking via a trusted global brand. Our expansion into Nairobi is just the start of our roll-out across this rapidly evolving continent.”
