The 'On the way to pickup' button

How to use this important feature when performing a ride.

It is extremely important to always press the 'On the way to pickup' button 60 to 90 minutes before the scheduled pickup time. Why?

  • It triggers a message to the guest with the chauffeur’s name and contact details to let them know you’ll be arriving soon.

  • It informs Blacklane that you are heading to the pickup location.

  • If you forget to press this button on time, it may lead to the booking being canceled or re-assigned to a different chauffeur. This could lead to a service improvement opportunity being created.

The earliest time a chauffeur can press the button is 90 minutes before pickup.

Important to note

  • The chauffeur assigned to the ride is the only person that can activate this button.

  • The earliest time chauffeurs can press the button is displayed on the slider.

Tip: Remember to always track flight or train arrivals, to check if you should adjust the pickup time accordingly before pressing On the way to pickup.
