What the Black Drive Journal covers
The Journal answers the questions travellers, assistants and travel planners ask before they book ground transport.
- Airport guides: Madrid airport to the city centre and the Toronto Pearson arrival guide.
- Corporate travel: writing a ground transportation policy and booking a car for a visiting executive.
- Families: airport transfers with an infant car seat.
- Events and groups: conference shuttle planning, TIFF transportation and the FIFA World Cup 2026 case study.
- Travel trade: ground transportation for travel agents and DMCs.
- Choosing a service: what a black car service is, point-to-point vs hourly, long-distance transfers and private jet arrivals.
Each guide starts with a short answer, then covers costs, timings and the options available, with sources listed at the end. Facts such as fares and terminal layouts change, so check the official airport or transit website close to your travel date. New guides are added regularly.
Questions the Journal answers
How do I get from the airport to my hotel? Start with the airport guides, which compare the train, bus, taxi and private transfer options using official sources, then book a chauffeur if the direct option suits you.
How should a company manage ground transport? The corporate travel guides cover policy, approvals, vehicle classes and billing, and how to arrange a car for a visiting guest.
What does a family need for a car seat? The family travel guide explains which seat each child needs and how to request seats when you book.
How many vehicles does an event need? The events guides show how to size shuttles by the peak arrival wave and the loop time.
What is the difference between a black car, a taxi and rideshare? The service guides explain how each works and when a pre-booked chauffeur is the better choice.
Who writes the Journal
The Journal is written by the Black Drive team, which has arranged chauffeurs since 2015 at 150+ airports. Guides are updated when fares, terminals or rules change, and each one lists its sources. Many guides end with how a chauffeur fits the trip: a pickup in arrivals, flight tracking, one fixed price per vehicle and free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup. Where a train or bus is the better choice, the guides say so.
Travel planners, assistants and travel agents can use the guides to brief travellers before a trip, and agencies and DMCs can book through the travel partner program.
