Taxi alternative in Oakland

Oakland can sometimes seem a forgotten city in California – across the bay from the economic powerhouses of San Francisco and Silicon Valley, and set slightly aside from the rarified academic air of Berkeley. Oakland, though, has a charm of its own, one of unpretentious cool, diversity and unconventional thinking. Book with Blacklane and tour the city at your leisure, taking your pick from our range of premium limousines in Oakland: Business Class, our standard black car; Business Van/SUV for airport transfers from Oakland International; and First Class, for special events in Oakland.

Oakland may pride itself on its laid-back atmosphere and alternative culture, but the city is still a major commercial hub, with many Fortune 500 companies headquartered in the region, and the Port of Oakland, one of the largest in the United States. Business is conducted around the clock, and with Blacklane, you can have an alternative to a taxi in Oakland that is as flexible as your timetable. Book a Blacklane airport shuttle to take you into town when you arrive, or hire by the hour to make the most of your time in town. Blacklane can be booked via our app, available for iOS and Android, which ensures that you can have a professional chauffeur in Oakland when you need one, and for a fixed and secure price, as the price you see on the screen will be the one you pay, with taxes, gratuities and fees included.

Oakland International Airport lies just outside the center of town, but with a door-to-door airport transfer in Oakland from Oakland’s Downtown, you can be there in no time. Book with Blacklane and you get more than just an alternative to the taxi line at Oakland International, you get access to our full airport transfer service, included a meet-and-greet from your chauffeur, and a flight-tracking system, where you can enter your flight number on booking to allow your chauffeur to time their arrival with yours. Blacklane chauffeurs will wait for an hour at the gate, allowing adequate time to get through customs and baggage claim, before taking your baggage to your top-quality car service in Oakland and shuttling you from the airport into Downtown Oakland – a fine alternative to a taxi.
